United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) Annual Report 2018

(CERF) broke three records. For the first time, CERF disbursed over half a billion dollars, enabling millions of people affected by humanitarian crises to access life-saving assistance. CERF also received a record level of funding in 2018, over US$500 million, thanks to the generosity of its donors. And CERF made the largest-ever single CERF allocation to date, providing nearly $50 million to fight the growing risk of famine in Yemen amid the collapse in public services and a resurgence of the conflict there.
