CTP (Cash Transfer Program) Digital Tracking Training Course

Introduction
Cash Transfer Programs (CTPs) are transforming humanitarian and development assistance by offering recipients the dignity of choice and flexibility. However, the effectiveness and integrity of these programs rely heavily on real-time digital tracking and accountability mechanisms. The CTP Digital Tracking Training Course is designed to equip professionals with the skills and tools needed to digitally monitor cash transfers, ensure compliance, prevent fraud, and deliver data-driven insights for decision-making. Participants will learn how to leverage digital platforms to streamline beneficiary registration, verify payments, and track outcomes across diverse operating contexts.

Spanning 10 intensive days, the course provides hands-on training in digital tools such as mobile data collection systems, biometric verification, e-voucher tracking, blockchain for transfers, and dashboard reporting. Whether in conflict zones, urban cash disbursement initiatives, or rapid disaster response settings, this course ensures that practitioners can deploy, scale, and maintain robust CTP digital ecosystems that meet global standards. The course is ideal for program managers, M&E specialists, finance officers, and digital operations teams implementing cash-based interventions.
