Humanitarian needs – sector funding
The Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) comprised 4 per cent of the total funding available in 2014 ($412 million). This marked a slight decrease compared with 2013, when CERF contributed $482 million. Its largest contribution in absolute terms went to emergency food assistance ($109 million), and its largest contribution in percentage terms (49 per cent) went to one of the worst-funded sectors: safety and security of staff and operations. In 2014, only $6 million of CERF funding went towards projects addressing gender-based violence. FIGURE 3
