Abstract
Humanitarian operations continue to grow through the delivery of Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) programs. While the cost-efficiency and effectiveness of delivering CVA programs remain the backbone of any humanitarian assistance program, the performance of logistical aspects of such programs is neglected in the research. The purpose of this study is to determine the key logistics-related indicators to include in the evaluation of CVA programs in the humanitarian setting. The paper uses the qualitative approach by reviewing both grey and academic literature to determine the key related indicators from the logistical standpoint. A set of logistics indicators are determined and evaluated associated with the logistics of CVA programs. Some hidden costs are observed that are worthwhile considerations. The research provides empirical insights to the body of knowledge for humanitarian practitioners when they plan to measure the costefficiency and effectiveness of CVA considering the logisticsrelated metrics. The research findings contribute to the body of humanitarian logistics and CVA studies.
