CaLP is the global partnership for cash transfer programming in humanitarian aid. We are a catalyst for change, accelerating change in the scale and quality of cash transfer programming. We enable the collaboration necessary to develop practical solutions to collective problems in the sector. Since our founding in 2005, CaLP has been at the forefront of promoting and improving cash transfer programming across the humanitarian sector. We have recently refreshed our global strategy and are at an exciting moment, poised to help humanitarian agencies deliver on their major commitments on cash.

CaLP currently has 50 members, united by their commitment to our shared mission. They deliver the vast majority of cash transfer programming in humanitarian aid worldwide. Our members include UN agencies, donors, international NGOs, local NGOs and private sector organisations.

A small secretariat supports our members to work together. CaLP is based in the UK and currently has regional offices in West Africa, East Africa, the Middle East, the US and Geneva. We expect to re-open a regional office in Asia as soon as possible, and open offices in new regions.

This is an exceptional opportunity to shape the future of cash programming in humanitarian aid. The post holder will work with the most influential aid agencies to identify and address key questions about how cash is used. Positioning CaLP as a neutral actor, they will create space to debate the issues that matter, and ensure that diverse voices are heard. As a result, the post holder will play a central role in convening debates that shape the future of cash and humanitarian aid in general.

Reporting to the CaLP Director, the post holder will also play a key role in leading CaLP, shaping our work in the coming years. Help build the CaLP that the sector needs for tomorrow, in the light of our history and the major commitments made to cash in 2016.

If you are passionate about cash, and have experience working on global policy with major donors and UN agencies, then we would like to hear from you.
