17 September 2010: United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced the appointment of 18 members to the Advisory Group of the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF). Eleven of the 18 members have previously served on the Advisory Group. Their re-nomination helps to ensure the continuation of the institutional memory of the Advisory Group, one-third of which should rotate every year.

Established by the General Assembly under Resolution 60/124 of 15 December 2005, the CERF Advisory Group provides the Secretary-General with periodic policy guidance and expert advice on the use and impact of the Fund through the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, Valerie Amos. Ms. Amos manages day-to-day operations of the Fund on behalf of the Secretary-General.

Members of the Advisory Group serve in their individual capacity, and not as representatives of their countries or governments. They include government officials from contributing and recipient countries, representatives of humanitarian nongovernmental organizations, and academic experts, and have been carefully selected to reflect a geographical and gender balance.
