Resumen: Cash-plus programmes have succeeded in places where different provisions (e.g., health, education, nutrition) are able to complement each other while augmenting a regular cash transfer payment. The institutional capacity to deliver an integrated support package has marked the effective functioning of these programmes. However, in contexts of conflict and protracted crisis and the asso- ciated disruptions of infrastructure damage, insecurity, distrust, and violence, the necessary institutional scaffolding for a well-functioning cash-plus programme becomes unstable and may collapse altogether. Despite this, cash-plus programmes continue to be implemented in these contexts.
