Cash Trainer of Trainers (ToT)
A comprehensive set of Cash Capacity Strengthening materials has been created by the CCD Global Cash Trainer of Trainers, including training modules, manuals, and practical tools. Designed for long-term capacity building of local NGOs, these resources equip organisations with practical skills and decision-making authority. Key components like the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) template, Multi Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) Implementation Manual, and workbook link training with real-world application. Divided into 12 adaptable modules, the materials support phased learning tailored to organisational needs.

Romania Cash Localisation Pilot
The recently concluded Romania Cash Localisation Pilot, led by Action Against Hunger and CCD, aimed to enhance local NGOs' ability to provide Multipurpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) to Ukrainian refugees.
By employing a cascading model and a Trainer of Trainers approach, the pilot provided tailored mentorship to three key Romanian NGOs—Bucovina Institute Association, Asociația din Suflet la Zâmbet, and Fundația Ucrainenilor Huțuli din România.
This initiative strengthened operational capacities, fostered valuable partnerships, and offered critical insights into the effectiveness of locally-led humanitarian responses. The lessons learned from this pilot will help refine future efforts and support locally-driven humanitarian work.
