The United Nations’ coordinated approach to the delivery
of humanitarian aid in Sudan has been manifested in the Work Plan
for Sudan that encompasses UN Agencies and many NGOs that have
participated in a process of nationwide coordination by fourteen
sectors and eight planning regions.
Given the existence of this comprehensive Work Plan, a number
of donors and UN Organizations have agreed to establish a common
fund mechanism - the Common Humanitarian Fund or CHF - for donor
contributions to the Work Plan.
The CHF will aim to give the Humanitarian Coordinator greater
ability to target funds at the most critical needs, encourage early
donor contributions and allow rapid response to unforeseen needs. |
