Contingency Fund for Emergencies (CFE)

 

The generosity of our contributors makes the CFE a fast and flexible financing instrument. Contributions to the CFE are pooled and, crucially, flexible rather than being earmarked for specific activities. This enables the CFE to fund the initial response to the broadest possible range of health emergencies rapidly and effectively. Accountability is ensured through adherence to the Organization’s financial rules and regulations. Any unspent funds are returned to the CFE.

The CFE allows WHO to react immediately, ensuring that assistance reaches affected populations as quickly as possible, shortening the duration of health emergencies and mitigating their impact. In many cases, this reduces the need to seek additional funding to respond to disease outbreaks and other emergencies.  We thank all CFE donors for their life-saving investment.
