Partners and donors

The CaLP is funded by ECHO and Visa Inc.  CaLP is currently implementing activities in partnership with the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).

IFRC

IFRC and CaLP have been working together since 2008, to deliver inter-agency training in cash transfer programming – intentionally bringing Red Cross/Red Crescent, UN and NGO organizations together to share experience and good practices.

In July 2010, the IFRC formalised its first partnership between ECHO and the Cash Learning Partnership (CaLP) with the overarching objective to build capacity, strengthen and mainstream the appropriate use of cash transfer programming within the humanitarian sector.

For further information, please contact the cash transfer programming coordinator, Heidi Gilert.
