The Horizon Foundation for Development participated in a specialized training course under the CALP program titled “Core Skills for Cash and Voucher Assistance for Program Staff,” held from October 19 to 23, 2025, in the interim capital, Aden, Yemen.

The five-day course aimed to strengthen the capacities of program staff and enable them to understand and apply best practices in designing and implementing cash and voucher assistance interventions within humanitarian responses.

The training was organized in partnership with the Cash and Learning Partnership (CALP Network), the Cash Consortium of Yemen (CCY), and the Cash and Market Working Group (CMWG), with the participation of several representatives from local and international humanitarian organizations operating in Yemen.

The Horizon Foundation for Development affirmed that its participation in this course comes as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance the efficiency of its staff and improve its responsiveness to affected communities through the adoption of more flexible and effective mechanisms that contribute to improving livelihoods and achieving sustainable impact.

Cash and voucher assistance is considered one of the most innovative approaches in humanitarian work, as it provides beneficiaries with freedom of choice, dignity, and flexible options that meet their actual needs.
