Value for money study of the NLRC COVID-19 Response Programme

Value for money study of the NLRC COVID-19 Response Programme

NLRC commissioned a value for money (VfM) study to evaluate the cost efficiency and cost effectiveness of the COVID-19 Response Programme in Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten implemented in 2020-2021. The programme considered three modalities of assistance: e-vouchers, food & hygiene parcels and ready to eat meals. The NLRC COVID-19 programme achieved good value for money. The programme was economical and efficient, as shown by the analysis of the cost structure and Total Cost to Transfer Ratio (TCTR). It was effective in reducing “the financial burden” of beneficiaries and in contributing to households meeting their basic needs, and that it has been equitable, in reaching the most vulnerable.
