UN WOMEN-WFP BLOCKCHAIN PILOT PROJECT FOR CASH TRANSFERS IN REFUGEE CAMPS JORDAN CASE STUDY_cover

Breaking new ground, UN Women partnered with the World Food Programme (WFP) to pilot test the use of blockchain technology to transfer salaries to women enrolled in Oases cash-for-work programmes in Za’atari and Azraq refugee camps, beginning in June 2019. The pilot reached 467 women and has been expanded to all four camp-based Oases in June 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This case study is generously supported by the Governments of Australia, Canada, Finland, France, Iceland, Italy, Japan and UN Women National Committees.
