Workshop report
This report summarises the outcomes of a one day workshop on Cash Transfer Programming (CTP) that was organised by the Cash-Based Responses Technical Working Group (CBR-TWG) for Northern Syria on 28 April 2015 in Gaziantep, Turkey. The workshop was attended by a wide group of stakeholders from the humanitarian community currently supporting cross border activities in Northern Syria. This included: donors; UN agencies; cluster coordinators; strategic decision makers; and technical advisers from NGOs involved in CTP.
The main aim of the workshop was to advocate for joint efforts in scaling up cash-based programming in Syria built on a common understanding of where we are with cash transfer programming in Syria currently; the challenges, successes and learning; and what the strategic direction is from implementing organisations and the donor community going forward. Furthermore, the workshop was intended to give direction to the CBR-TWG on priority areas of focus for 2015.
