Monitoring and Evaluation of Cash & Voucher Assistance Training Course in Cape Town, South Africa
Classroom training in Cape Town · next cohort Oct 26, 2026 · from USD 3,800
Cash and voucher assistance now makes up a large share of humanitarian and social protection spending, and donors expect hard evidence that it reaches the right households, is spent well and costs less than the alternatives. Without sound monitoring, programmes miss eligible families, tolerate leakage and cannot show what the money achieved. This five-day programme gives you the methods to close that gap.
You learn to build a results framework for cash, set indicators for outputs, outcomes and protection, and design post-distribution monitoring with sampling, questionnaires and mobile data collection. Sessions cover process monitoring of registration, targeting and payment, feedback channels, market monitoring, fraud and risk tracking, and cost-efficiency and cost-effectiveness analysis. You also examine evaluation designs for multipurpose cash and how to report findings to donors and clusters. MEAL officers, cash programme managers, field monitors, finance and compliance staff, and social protection analysts in NGOs, UN agencies and government will benefit. Afterwards you can produce a complete monitoring plan for a cash or voucher programme and analyse its data. Delivery is in classrooms, online or in-house.

About this course
Cash transfers and vouchers let people choose what they need most, support local markets and often deliver faster than in-kind aid. They also bring distinct risks: exclusion errors, diversion, price inflation, tension within households and weak financial service providers. Monitoring and evaluation is how an organisation knows whether the model is working and where it is failing.
Monitoring and Evaluation of Cash & Voucher Assistance covers the whole measurement cycle. Participants begin with the logic of cash programming and its theory of change, then move to indicators, baselines and data sources. They study process monitoring of beneficiary registration, verification and payments, post-distribution monitoring, market price tracking, and complaints and feedback analysis. The later sessions address outcome measurement for multipurpose cash, cost-efficiency comparisons with in-kind aid, evaluation questions and the use of evidence in programme decisions. Throughout, attention is paid to inclusion, data protection and the safety of recipients.
The course is practical. Participants build tools in spreadsheets and mobile data platforms, analyse sample monitoring data and finish with a monitoring plan they can take back to their programme.

By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:
- Develop a results framework and indicator set for a cash or voucher programme.

- Identify fraud, diversion and protection risks and set up controls and escalation.
