Voucher-for-work concept paper. A presentation of lessons learned in ACTED's experience in Northern Uganda

This document is based on the ACTED Voucher-for-work  experience in northern Uganda, and on the conclusions of a regional workshop organised jointly with the FAO in January 2009. The report aims to be a practical guide for development practitioners dealing with the Voucher-for-Work concept. It also contributes to the current discussions on humanitarian aid via cash transfers.

Lessons learned from this experience help answer the questions agencies and others are currently asking: What type of work should be funded? What is the community's role? What should people be able to buy with their vouchers? What is the donor's role?
