Principaux résultats antérieurs:  

• A robust COVID-19 response: 252,000 persons were reached, through 18 partners and 20 projects.
• Increased localization: The fund is currently allocating about 69% of its funds directly to local non-governmental organizations.
• The Nexus: Since 2019 the fund provides partners with opportunities to apply for funding for projects beyond 12 months allowing for longer term thinking.
• Capacity assessment: 21 national partners have been prioritized through the cluster system since 2020 giving a further boost to the Fund’s operational reach and ability to support frontline response, particularly in harder to access locations.
• Participation revolution: All SHF-funded projects now have a plan on the Accountability to Affected Population (AAP) providing an opportunity for partners to mainstream AAP, including embedding community participation and feedback mechanisms into the design of projects.
• Gender: The application of the Inter Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Gender and Age Marker (GAM), is mandatory in all SHF project proposals to promote gender responsive planning and programming.
• Integrated approach: As a distinct approach, the fund brings together clusters to design interventions jointly. Over 44% of SHF allocations are integrated (several clusters working together i.e. water and sanitation with nutrition cluster and camp management and camp coordination cluster).
