Description
This briefing note outlines how CVA is transforming humanitarian aid by empowering affected people and supporting local economies. As Cash & Voucher Assistance (CVA) increasingly relies on Financial Service Providers such as banks, remittance companies, prepaid cards, and mobile money, it highlights the benefits of faster, safer, and more transparent delivery. The note also examines key data‑protection risks, helping organisations understand what personal data is generated and shared to ensure responsible and safe assistance.
