This study reviews research on cash and voucher assistance (CVA) by applying a humanitarian supply chain management perspective. A systematic literature review was conducted to identify, analyse, and synthesise past academic research. The content, context, and process framework was used to structure the content analysis. The findings reveal that the outcomes of CVA programmes are dependent on critical context-specific variables that influence feasibility and operability. Humanitarian actors must consider factors that are external (the nature of disaster, politics, economy, and infrastructure) and internal (local market availability and accessibility, supplier/donor interest, supplier/vendor selection and contracting, and beneficiary preference) to the supply chain. The delivery process is influenced by them, impacting on programme responsiveness and cost-efficiency. The results provide insights that humanitarian practitioners can utilise to reconsider their supply chain strategies when deciding on the selection and implementation of CVA programmes. Potential literature gaps are identified, and recommendations for further research are provided.
本研究运用人道主义供应链管理视角，对现金和凭证援助（CVA）的研究进行了回顾。通过系统文献回顾，确定、分析和综合了以往的学术研究。内容、背景和流程框架用于构建内容分析。研究结果表明，CVA 项目的结果取决于影响可行性和可操作性的关键特定情境变量。人道主义行为体必须考虑供应链外部（灾害性质、政治、经济和基础设施）和内部（当地市场的可用性和可及性、供应商/捐赠者的利益、供应商/供应商的选择和合同以及受益人的偏好）的因素。这些因素会影响到交付过程，从而影响到方案的响应能力和成本效益。研究结果为人道主义从业者提供了一些见解，他们可以在决定选择和实施 CVA 项目时，重新考虑其供应链策略。还确定了潜在的文献差距，并提出了进一步研究的建议。
