Goal action plan
With the overarching goal of positioning Save the Children as the leading actor in "Cash Plus for Child Outcomes", our target will be to increase our CVA portfolio as well as influence government led social protection schemes (eg child grants) to be more nutrition and child sensitive and more inclusive of children most affected by inequality and discrimination. Evidence shows that CVA is a powerful instrument to achieve positive child outcome especially when coupled with complementary interventions or access to services.
1. Support children and their families to improve and protect their livelihoods and investments in children, especially those most affected by climate change
2. Global evidence advanced on using cash and voucher assistance and climate resilient livelihoods for child outcomes and anticipatory action; with focus on gender equality
3. Increase global investment in cash-plus assistance, to meet immediate humanitarian needs and/or for shock-responsive and child-sensitive social protection
4. National or international policy, legal and budget decisions made to strengthen child-sensitive social protection systems, including transitioning from humanitarian CVA in fragile and/or conflict affected contexts
