Resultados de las fases anteriores:  

• In 2022, the CERF’s speed was instrumental in enabling response to time-critical humanitarian needs, with the most urgent requests processed in as little as two days.
• The role of the CERF in fighting hunger was also prominent throughout 2022. Nearly 30 per cent of the total funding released from the CERF went to countries affected by food crises.
• The CERF reinforced its commitment to boost operations in underfunded crises where unmet humanitarian needs remain alarmingly high. During the year, the CERF disbursed a recordhigh level of funding for underfunded emergencies. Through two disbursement rounds, the CERF allocated USD 250 million for critically underfunded humanitarian operations in 23 countries in Africa, Asia, the Americas and the Middle East, targeting nearly 10 million people.
