Webinar | YLabs/IRC Project on UASC and Child Protection and Cash Task Force Meeting
Channel: The Alliance
Date: 20/01/2021

In this episode, the Alliance Cash Transfer and Child Protection Task Force host a discussion featuring the YLabs and IRC project, Taageero Cash, that is tackling barriers to cash and voucher assistance programs for unaccompanied and separated adolescents.

Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) programs have proven to be an effective, efficient, and dignified way to help vulnerable people access basic needs in the development and humanitarian environments. However, CVA is not currently offered to adolescents, presenting a devastating gap in access for unaccompanied and separated young people living in camps. This project aims to explore CVA for adolescents using a youth driven design methodology in order to provide global guidance to meet their specific needs within humanitarian settings, while at the same time, empowering these young people becoming adults.
