The Ethiopia Collaborative Cash Delivery (CCD) platform is a coalition of 12 non-governmental organisations (NGOs) aiming to harmonise cash delivery for increased scale, efficiency, effectiveness and collective impact. The Ethiopia CCD network materialised in an organic way, with numerous ongoing initiatives to foster collaboration at the advocacy, networking and operational levels. In order to enhance the clarity around the various initiatives and ensure decision-making is collaborative and representative of the wider membership, an overarching governance framework has been developed.

COLLABORATION

CCD partners are already actively collaborating in four country-level pilot projects.
Twelve of CCD network’s global partners have worked together to establish a national-level CCD network in Ethiopia that is active in the country’s cash and voucher assistance delivery. By implementing the CCD’s model, it enabled the formation of a coalition and provided it with the framework they needed to move the needle forward for the Ethiopian cash community. This will benefit all sectors and the aid community as a whole.

Due to the Ethiopia CCD network’s agile nature and diverse expertise within their syndicate, they will soon implement an ECHO-funded project that will allow for the efficient deployment of multipurpose cash to 10,000 households in support of 50,000+ internally displaced persons in Wollegas, Ethiopia. This national-level CCD collaboration further validates the global CCD network’s key principles of delivering more effective and efficient operations in an adaptable, agile, collaborative ecosystem that allows the partners to reach efficiency at greater scale and amplify impact. There are positive ongoing discussions to fund other areas.
