OCHA Ethiopia, Humanitarian Response Fund (HRF) / OCHA Somalia, Common Humanitarian Fund (CHF)

01.01.2013 - 31.12.2013

The HRF and CHF are pooled funding mechanisms established respectively, in Ethiopia and Somalia, to provide rapid and flexible funding to respond to humanitarian emergencies and priorities. In Somalia, the prior humanitarian focus on seasonal emergencies is phasing out with a new emphasis on resilience programming – reflected in the introduction of a 3-year CAP in 2013. In Ethiopia, the HRF is not geared to respond to chronic problems but engages in disaster risk management and early recovery interventions.

01.01.2012 - 31.12.2012

The humanitarian situation in the Horn of Africa requires coordination, advocacy and assessment capacities on different levels. Competent coordination capacities with appropriate staff and financial means are needed to address the complex situation - with persisting needs, the early recovery component, and an important number of humanitarian players, difficult humanitarian access and sometimes the challenging cooperation with the respective governments. OCHA is mandated with these tasks by the international community.

OCHA Somalia, Common Humanitarian Fund (CHF)

01.01.2012 - 31.12.2012

The Common humanitarian Fund (CHF) is a relevant funding mechanism in light of UN harmonization as well as in light of the complex situation in Somalia to deliver aid in a timely and strategic manner. The CHF is one of the most important funding mechanisms for Somali NGOs, and the fourth-largest humanitarian funding channel for Somalia overall. The CHF will ensure that strategic and flexible funding is available for key actors who continue to have access and the capacity to scale up programs. Thus, operational NGOs will benefit from the CHF strategic allocation.

After coping mechanisms have been eroded both local and displaced pastoralists depend on humanitarian assistance. The intervention strives to reduce that dependency by rebuilding and enhancing the resilience of pastoralist livelihood.
