What are the impacts of cash-based transfers (CBT) and in-kind transfers (e.g. food or vouchers) in humanitarian settings? This systematic review uses evidence from quasi-experimental and experimental studies conducted in low- and middle-income countries to assess and summarize the state of the existing knowledge on the effects of non-contributory humanitarian assistance interventions on five outcome domains at the individual and household levels: (i) basic needs, (ii) financial outcomes, (iii) gender, (iv) human development, and (v) social cohesion.
