Complementarity with CERF Funding

In early 2018, and considering the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the country, the CERF contributed to one of the largest ever allocation, with $50 million provided to 5 UN agencies for life-saving interventions in Yemen.

 

The HC, supported by OCHA and in close consultation with the Cluster Coordinators,will publish a narrative Annual Report of the YHF activities based on information provided through the HFU by each participating UN organisation and NGO partner. The Annual Report will feature trends, best practices, lessons learned and challenges, and showcase success stories and achievements. The YHF Annual Report is issued around April-May covering the previous calendar year and posted online. In addition, OCHA HFU will generate periodic dashboards, funding updates, human interest stories and related documents on YHF activities in Yemen.
