Evidence before claims
Measure the value. Publish the limits.
ReliefPay aims to increase the share of programme resources reaching intended recipients while safeguarding effectiveness, equity, dignity and accountability.
ReliefPay will compare a pilot with the NGO's existing voucher workflow. It will not claim to outperform cash, promise the highest possible percentage, or treat lower cost as success if dignity, equity, protection or programme effectiveness suffers.
Current proof status
What is true today.
Status changes only when evidence exists. Calendar dates alone do not turn a gate into proof.
Not yet physically proven
NGO-run recurring reload station
The repeatable issue, reload, read-back and recovery workflow remains a hardware gate.
Not yet completed
Referenceable field pilot and comparative TTR
ReliefPay does not yet claim field savings, a recipient-value uplift or a comparative result.
In preparation
Public-source release
The repository remains private until its licence, security and clean-release checks pass.
CALP-aligned frame
Efficiency is not the whole value.
CALP frames value for money through economy, efficiency, effectiveness and equity. ReliefPay will use Total Transfer Ratio as one cost-efficiency measure: transferred assistance value divided by total programme cost. It will also report access, reliability, dignity, accountability and protection.
CALP is an evidence source and a discussion contact. It is not a confirmed ReliefPay partner and does not endorse ReliefPay.
Comparative pilot scorecard
- Transferred and redeemed assistance value, reported separately
- Total Transfer Ratio and ReliefPay-added cost per recipient
- Setup, training, support and reconciliation hours
- Successful redemption, retry, exception and unreconciled-claim rates
- Offline availability, sync conflicts and duplicate-spend outcomes
- Recipient travel, time, accessibility and out-of-pocket cost
- Vendor price and quality variance, plus settlement time
- Complaints, resolution time, privacy, safeguarding and protection incidents
Context before technology
Sometimes cash is the better answer.
ReliefPay is for settings where voucher restrictions are justified or connectivity makes conventional digital delivery unreliable. The technology should not create a voucher programme where unrestricted cash would better meet people's needs.
