Humanitarian Response Fund Update
The Humanitarian
Response Fund (HRF) for Ethiopia is an emergency funding mechanism
managed by the UN Humanitarian Coordinator (HC) and established to
address gaps in critical, live-saving emergency response.
Contributions to the HRF has been made by various donors including
DfID, Netherlands, Norway, Ireland, Italy, Sweden, Spain and Switzerland.
The Humanitarian
Response Fund (HRF) has allocated more than US$ 66 million
since March 2006 towards emergency assistance addressing sectoral
needs in three major emergencies: The Horn of Africa Drought, The
Floods, and The AWD Outbreak. In order to address the most
pressing cross-sectoral needs, the Humanitarian Response Fund has
focused particular attention on non-food needs such as emergency
health, nutrition, water, sanitation, non-food items, and
agriculture and livestock interventions.
