Overview
Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) is a type of humanitarian aid where cash or vouchers are given to people affected by crises. Unlike material assistance, such as food or blankets, it allows people to buy goods and services for themselves, based on their own needs and preferences. This was part of a series of courses as a consultancy piece for Oxfam’s Cash and Voucher Assistance Programme (CaLP) to equip learners in the humanitarian sector. It is designed to be relevant to both technical and non-technical audiences.
My Role
This series of courses where built in Adapt, which was a change from the original brief on request of the client as they wanted to maintain development in the future and did not have Storyline software or in-house skills.
- Platform Adaptation: I prepared a detailed storyboard to outline the course structure and flow.
- Content Adaptation: Created “safe space” one step guiding branched scenarios in a comic book style.
- Scenario Creation: I developed practical scenarios, characters and illustrations to tell the CaLP story
Innovative Approach
I designed an interactive story with short, branched decision points, collaborating with Elucidat developers to replicate or adapt the original design. I created all artwork and built the course, focusing on Lina’s narrative across CaLP training modules, which demanded extensive bespoke artwork. Additionally, I crafted diverse characters, ensuring disability, gender, and race were authentically represented rather than tokenistic.
