This tipsheet serves as guidance to help field teams think through different ways to mitigate the spread and impact of Covid-19 through ongoing cash and voucher assistance (CVA), inform the adaption of CVA programming in the context of Covid-19, and promote sensitivity to changing market dynamics and prices.

This tip sheet is general, but we are ready to work with you to tailor advice to your programming, needs and context. If you have any questions or need support, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Make sure that all staff follow general Covid-19 guidance carefully—including hand washing, equipment cleaning, and proximity to program participants, stakeholders, and other members of staff. This tip sheet builds off existing guidance, and should be used in partnership with it.
