Humanitarian Response Fund
|
 |
|
The Humanitarian Response Fund (HRF) mechanism aims to address humanitarian needs where gaps unfilled, by providing NGOs with a rapid and flexible funding mechanism to meet short-term emergency priorities in vulnerable communities. The objective of HRF is to provide rapid funding that will enable humanitarian partners to respond to an emergency.
HRF activities focus on preventing or exacerbating existing problems arising from a disaster, and on re-establishing basic living conditions in response to a particular crisis. The HRF is also used to lay the groundwork for activities supporting durable solutions for displaced persons and affected communities, by meeting humanitarian and initial recovery needs, especially in areas where funding gaps exist.
The Fund supports short term projects in Indonesia up to six months in duration, with a maximum grant of USD 100,000 per project.
The HRF is managed by the UN Humanitarian Coordinator (HC) and administered by OCHA. Its management structure includes a Review Board created to analyze and endorse proposal submitted by an NGO. The Board includes representatives from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the World Food Programme (WFP), and the World Health Organisation (WHO).
As the administrator, OCHA reviews project proposals and provides recommendations to the Board for their endorsement or rejection. After endorsement by the HC, OCHA coordinates with headquarters in Geneva to proceed with the administrative protocol. OCHA is also in charge of following all procedural aspects of the implementation with the designated NGOs and assures that the administrative and programme requirements are met. OCHA and/or the Board also carry out field visits to monitor and evaluate the projects. An independent reviewer is assigned to perform financial audit, whose results trigger the finalization of the Agreement.
Since 2001, various donors have contributed to the Fund (see table 1 below). Between 2001 and 2004, the Fund was mainly used to support various emergency response and early recovery projects in post-conflict areas, including Aceh, Maluku, North Maluku, Central Sulawesi and West Kalimantan provinces. Meanwhile, as the situation in post-conflict areas gradually improved, the frequency of natural disasters has increased. Since 2005, HRF has primarily been used to respond to natural disasters across the country. Realizing the importance of strengthening community’s capacity to reduce disasters risks, OCHA encourages implementing partners to insert a Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) component within the projects. Moreover, since 2007 a significant percentage of the Fund has been allocated to DRR or preparedness activities.
The HRF mechanism has been useful in assisting NGOs in implementing the most pressing activities (e.g. shelter, health, water & sanitation) in disaster affected areas, in particular those areas that may not attract significant funding. The ERF has also been used to supplement other sources of funding, filling gaps that could not be covered by other funding. An external evaluation conducted in 2010 resulted that NGOs found the HRF a very useful mechanism, because of its flexibility. Despite its short timeframe of maximum six months, HRF is useful to finance prevention and recovery activities. The evaluation also demonstrated that the HRF mechanism is appreciated by NGOs which serves to strengthen OCHA’s working relationship with local authorities, international and national NGOs, the affected communities and donors.
