Abstract
Abstract The cutthroat debate on use of cash or in-kind transfers as tools to extend social protection is growing, and cash-based approaches are growing, too, in the context of increasing humanitarian emergencies exacerbated by climate change. This chapter analyzes factors influencing the preference of beneficiaries on the mode of humanitarian response delivery in Malawi. The analysis used a binary choice model of probit. Age of household head, household size, distance to the commodity market, and village location near the international border raise the probability of preferring cash transfer to food transfer. On the contrary, being married and having an elderly person in the household increases the probability of preferring food transfer to cash transfer. The authors therefore recommend that neither cash nor in-kind approaches be applied wholesale in humanitarian responses; they should rather be contextual, taking into account these factors.
