Allocation process

The Humanitarian Coordinator (HC) allocates funding through consultative processes based on prioritized humanitarian needs and overarching strategic priorities. There are two types of allocation modalities: 

• Reserve Allocations: Intended primarily to respond to rapid onset and unforeseen circumstances and address corresponding needs. In the Sudan context, this allocation modality is the most used. It allows the Fund to allocate directly to partners best placed to respond to specific needs on the ground, as guided by the relevant cluster coordinators. This modality also allows the Fund to select partners by scoring concept notes which are submitted against sub-national programmes developed through decentralized cluster consultation meetings.  
• Standard Allocations: Used to support the response when an allocation is less time sensitive than a Reserve Allocation. Typically, a large number of partners have the potential to deliver on the objective of the allocation, requiring a competitive process. The allocations take place against the backdrop of the HRP or other equivalent collective humanitarian plans.  

Information on the allocation process can also be found in the CBPF Global Guidelines and the Sudan Humanitarian Fund operational manual.
