A key element of the humanitarian reform process that began formally in 2005 was the need to improve funding for humanitarian crises on a global scale, especially through the use of pooled funding. This resulted in the evolution of the existing global revolving fund with a loans facility of US$50 million into the present day Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) with its substantial grant-making possibilities as well as the original loan element.
This document provides background information and data on the CERF since its inception. It looks at the different donors and their contributions over time, recipient countries and the sectors funded, support to the UN consolidated appeal process (CAP) and explores the pros and cons of the CERF.
