OCHA Somalia, Common Humanitarian Fund (CHF)
The CHF is a pooled funding mechanism administered by OCHA to provide rapid and flexible funding to respond to humanitarian emergencies and priorities. In Somalia, local NGOs are some of the only agencies with access to many of the most vulnerable areas, and the CHF is one of their only mechanisms to access funding from international donors.

Contexte |
In Somalia, an estimated 2.9 million people still require humanitarian aid. 857'000 people (majority internally displaced) are in Emergency and Crisis and require lifesaving assistance, while 2 million (a third of the population) struggle to meet minimal food requirements and are highly vulnerable to risks and shocks (FSNAU 2014). Additionally, mortality and malnutrition rates In Somalia remain among the highest in the world with an estimated 203,000 children under five who are acutely malnourished and in need of assistance. Key drivers of the crisis remain recurring droughts, conflict and political Instability, and lack of access to basic and social services. The UN and NGOs have been releasing a series of Early Warning reports that the situation in Somalia, particularly South Central, is likely to deteriorate over the next months unless Humanitarian Interventions are increased. |
