ANTICIPATORY CASH TRANSFERS IN CLIMATE DISASTER RESPONSE
EPISODE SEVEN
Humanitarian workers carry out incredible lifesaving work every day on the front line of crisis response to assist those in the greatest need.

This project is one of the first large-scale evaluations that rigorously tests the impact of humanitarian cash transfers in response to a sudden extreme weather event, and the importance of being timely for an impactful response.
