State · UNITED NATIONS OFFICE FOR THE COORDINATION OF HUMANITARIAN AFFAIRS — $50.0M (COD)
Key claim: The U.S. Department of State is obligating $50.0M to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) to support CERF’s work addressing critical humanitarian needs in emerging crises and underfunded emergency operations worldwide, with a place of performance in the Democratic Republic of Congo (COD).
Abstract
Department of State obligated $50.0M to UNITED NATIONS OFFICE FOR THE COORDINATION OF HUMANITARIAN AFFAIRS, for work in COD. TO SUPPORT CERF’S CRITICAL WORK TO MEET BOTH THE MOST CRITICAL HUMANITARIAN NEEDS WITHIN EMERGING CRISES AND SUPPORTING UNDERFUNDED EMERGENCY OPERATIONS WORLDWIDE.
Why this matters
CERF is OCHA’s flagship global rapid-response pool, disbursing to UN agencies for sudden-onset and underfunded crises; a $50.0M U.S. contribution is a material share of its annual donor base. Tracking it separately from country-based pooled funds clarifies how U.S. humanitarian dollars flow through distinct OCHA mechanisms.
