CaLP’s first training video in Spanish developed in collaboration with CARE provides an overview of the relationship between gender and cash and voucher assistance (CVA) structured around the humanitarian project cycle. The video forms a module as part of UN Women’s Gender Equality in Humanitarian Action Spanish e-course which was born out of REDLAC’s (Regional Group on Risks, Emergencies, and Disasters for Latin America and the Caribbean) Gender Working Group and which holds endorsement from FLACSO Argentina (The Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences).
