Using Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) for hygiene items may give women and girls more freedom of choice to select the sanitary materials they prefer, are used to and feel most comfortable using. Using vouchers instead of distributions was also found to increase beneficiary satisfaction, be more convenient and reduce security risks associated with distributions, increase revenue of local vendors, and save time and money for the implementation team.
