  1. Common Humanitarian Planning:The Consolidated Appeals Process http//:www.humanitarianappeal.net

  2. General Assembly Resolution 46/182, December 1991: Strengthening the coordination of humanitarian emergency assistance of the United Nations by: • Creation of the Emergency Relief Coordinator (ERC) • Inter-agency Standing Committee (IASC) • Consolidated Appeals Process (CAP) • Central Emergency Revolving Fund (CERF)

  3. GA Resolution 46/182 : “For emergencies requiring a consolidated response, the Secretary-General should ensure that an initial Consolidated Appeal covering all concerned organisations of the system, prepared in consultation with the affected State, is issued within the shortest possible time…”

  4. The CAP is… The humanitarian sector’s main tool for coordination, strategic planning and programming.

  5. The Consolidated Appeals Process: an inclusive, coordinated programme cycle.

  6. Who’s in Charge? • Humanitarian Coordinator triggers appeal and leads the IASC Country Team in the field. • ERC ensures coherence between field and headquarters and across emergencies. • IASC agrees on policy and guidance. • A team in OCHA Geneva provides day-to-day support and guidance to HCs and the ERC.

  7. How is it done? Cluster or Sector Groups: • Clear leadership / facilitation role • Common assessment / analysis • Agreed priorities / objectives • Reporting on outputs of the group • Greater inclusion

  8. How is it financed? • Direct funding by donors to specific agency projects (≈ $4.4 billion in 2008 so far or nearly 95% of all funds provided to CAPs / FAs) • Pooled funds CERF: $227 m in 2008 so far / ≈ 5% of CAP funds CHFs: $275 m in 2008 (Sudan, DRC and CAR) ERFs: ≈ $130 m since inception CAR, DRC, Iraq, oPt, Somalia, Sudan, Zimbabwe (Ethiopia, Haiti) OCHA Financial Tracking System : www.reliefweb.int/fts

  9. TIMEFRAME Flash Appeal Issued 2-4 days after emergency for up to 3-6 months Consolidated Appeal Issued within 3-6 months of emergency, and annually as needed, can be revised as needed

  10. Future Directions • Further improve prioritization • Strengthen interaction w/ pooled funds • Improve linkages to other planning processes • More nuanced role for governments • Strengthen leadership of RC/HC • Further improve link to cluster approach
