  1. Resource Mobilisation

  2. Humanitarian Finance - the basics • SUPPLY:(Funding sources) • National government • civil society • NGO funds • bilateral donors • multilateral donors • private sector • pooled funds • CERF • Emergency Response Fund • Common Humanitarian Fund DEMAND:(Appeals for funding) - agency appeals - consolidated appeals processes • Flash Appeals • Consolidated Appeals Process (CAPs) • Common Humanitarian Action plans (CHAPs)

  3. Demand side: Appeals

  4. What is a Flash Appeal? • overview of urgent life-saving needs • within a week of emergency's onset • acute needs 3- 6 months Consolidated Appeal if beyond 6 months • Includes: • rapid needs assessments (3 days!) • all cluster response plans • projects for funding

  5. Indicative timeframe Indicative timeframe Day 1 • HC/RC triggers flash appeal – consults country team & government. Day 2-4 • Clusters conduct rapid needs assessment and prepare sector response plans and select projects. Day 5 • HC sends final draft to OCHA CAP Section, which circulates it for comment within 24 hr to IASC HQs. Day 7 • CAP Section processes & electronically publishes document • Official launch of appeal • Donors select from menu of projects.

  6. What is a CAP? A Consolidated Appeal is, basically, a longer version of a Flash Appeal (12 months), for longer-term crises, offering more analysis and detail.

  7. Supply side: Pooled funds

  8. Pooled funds 3 types: CERF - Central Emergency Response Fund CHF - Common humanitarian funds ERF – Emergency Response Funds Worldwide…. Country specific…. Small scale for gaps….

  9. Timeline for Planning and Appeals up to 6 months 6 months on Flash Appeal – Multiple donors Consolidated Appeals Process (CAP) • Cluster • Reponse Plan • plus projects CERF Project proposals

  10. Coordinators have crucial role: involve all cluster participants coordinate rapid needs assessments set cluster strategy and priorities lead & coordinate response plans gather project proposals inclusively vet projects transparently ALL VERY FAST!

  11. What is CERF? • Rapid response grants(2/3 of grant facility) • Under-funded crises(1/3 of grant facility) if no other funding source immediately available, including agencies’ own unearmarked agency funds and earmarked donor grants 3.Loans($50 million) funding committed but not yet paid; or commitment very likely • to meet immediate relief needs • for local procurement and/or transport

  12. Who can receive CERF Grants? NGOs cannot apply directly for CERF funds, but: • should participate in process as part of Child Protection Sub-Cluster • do receive funds as implementing partners of UN agencies & IOM

  13. Essential CERF criteria Life-savingactivities or services Time-criticalactions or resources If not met, then

  14. CERF Funding Criteria • All projects funded through the CERF grant component must be for life-saving / core emergency humanitarian programmes defined as: Activities that, within a short time span, remedy, mitigate or avert direct loss of life, physical harm or threats to a population or major portion thereof. • Also permissible are common humanitarian services that are necessary to enable life-saving activities (e.g. air support, emergency telecommunications, logistics).

  15. Activities Outside CERF Mandate • Activities that are not immediately life-saving, such as disaster mitigation, early warning, prevention and preparedness, economic recovery, poverty reduction, and disarmament, are not suitable for the CERF. • CERF contributions do not cover: • Recurrent costs (regular government staff salaries, running office and maintenance costs, etc.) • Regular agency stockpiling • Capacity building and training (funded only if related to direct implementation of emergency response) • ** Proposals that contain life-saving elements in the project narrative but the budgets focus on non-life-saving elements are not suitable for the CERF grant window. **

  16. Examples of Life-Saving Activities

  17. Activities Identification, registration, family tracing and reunification or interim care arrangements for separated children, orphans and children leaving armed groups/forces. Ensure proper referrals to other services such as health, food, education and shelter Identification, registration, referral and follow-up for other extremely vulnerable children, incl. survivors of GBV and other forms of violence, children with no access to basic service and those requiring special protection measures Conditions Context of specific emergency response Child protection

  18. Activities Activities incl. advocacy, awareness-raising, life-skills training, and livelihoods Provision of psychosocial support to children affected by the emergency, e.g. through provision of child-friendly spaces or other community-based interventions, return to school or emergency education, mental health referrals where expertise exists Identification and strengthening, or establishment of community-based child protection mechanisms to assess, monitor and address child protection issues Conditions Context of specific emergency response Child protection (continued)
