The workshop in Johannesburg 17-19 November 2009 was convened jointly by the Policy Planningand Strategy Division (OEDP) and the Programme Design and Support Division (OMXD) of WFP (OMXD). The purpose was to review the experiences of WFP country offices in cash and voucher (C&V) programmes, and to identify lessons learned and policy and operational issues requiring follow up. It provided a forum for the exchange of information among WFP staff and with a number of invited external (non-WFP) participants, and generated inputs for the improvement and finalization of draft WFP guidelines.
