The Cash Learning Partnership (CaLP) is a global partnership of humanitarian actors engaged in policy, practice and research on cash transfer programming (CTP).

With the number, scale and complexity of humanitarian crises dramatically increasing, CaLP acts as a thought leader and catalyst for positive transformation within the sector.
