potential victims of disasters it represents a real chance to provide predictable and equitable funding to those affected by natural disasters and other humanitarian emergencies citation needed the fund was established to upgrade the central emergency revolving fund by including a grant element cerf has a grant facility 2 of us 450 million and a loan facility 2 of 30 million the cerf grant component has two windows one for rapid responses 3 and one for underfunded emergencies 4 cerf is intended to complement not to substitute existing humanitarian funding mechanisms such as the united nations consolidated appeals 5 cerf provides seed funds to jump start critical operations and fund life saving programmes not yet covered by other donors in this way cerf assures that the funds will go where they are most needed in the network of international aid organizations which include the united nations children s fund unicef the united nations high commissioner for refugees unhcr the world food programme wfp and the world health organization who among others citation needed management edit cerf is managed on behalf of the united nations secretary general by the under secretary general usg and emergency relief coordinator erc head of the united nations office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs ocha ocha is the part of the united nations secretariat responsible for bringing together humanitarian actors to ensure a coherent response to emergencies cerf is a vital component of this effort lisa doughten is the chief of the cerf secretariat 6 before coming to cerf doughten has worked in more than 30 countries in africa asia europe latin america and the middle east in both the united nations and the private sector advisory group edit the cerf advisory group provides the secretary general with periodic policy guidance and expert advice on the use and impact of cerf advisory group members serve in their individual capacity and not as representatives of their countries or governments 7 they include government officials from contributing and recipient countries representatives of humanitarian non governmental organizations and academic experts whom are carefully selected to reflect a geographical and gender balance 8 as of december 2022 update the cerf advisory group consists of caecilia

jose del aguila castillo guatemala shaheen ali al kaabi qatar zvinechimwe r churu zimbabwe impact edit as crises proliferate worldwide the cerf secretariat continues to receive more requests for funding than before in 2012 cerf disbursed 485 million for 546 projects in 49 countries and territories this is the highest amount since the fund s inception 9 the ten largest recipients were south sudan pakistan the syrian arab republic the democratic republic of congo niger yemen sudan myanmar burkina faso and chad whereas the food health and water and sanitation wash sectors continued to be among the most highly funded sectors receiving approximately 247 million or nearly 52 per cent of the 477 million cerf allocated in 2012 allocations edit the cerf grant element is divided into two windows one for rapid responses 3 approximately two thirds of the grant element and the other for underfunded emergencies 4 approximately one third of the grant element the grant element pools funds from several donors and adopts a decentralized field based approach to decision making the rapid response window provides funds intended to mitigate the unevenness and delays of the voluntary contribution system by providing seed money for life saving humanitarian activities in the initial days and weeks of a sudden onset crisis or a deterioration in an ongoing situation in parallel to the cerf rapid response grant agencies will be looking for others sources of funding to complement the cerf funds the maximum amount applied to a crisis in a given year typically does not exceed 30 million although higher allocations can be made in exceptional circumstances 10 the underfunded emergencies window supports countries that are significantly challenged by forgotten emergencies 11 with technical support from the cerf secretariat the erc selects countries to benefit from the cerf underfunded emergencies window the erc also decides on an allocation amount per country and makes recommendations on the use of underfunded emergencies grants in selected countries 10 contributions edit despite the 2008 financial crisis and its effects on member states budgets donations to cerf have increased compared to earlier years since 2006 cerf has received more than 3 2 billion in contributions and pledges close to 99 per cent of the contributions were from member states with the
