� life-saving impact � numbers of people assisted � availability of resources (including funding) required � identification of and assistance to priority vulnerable groups or locations � complementarities between projects and clusters � cost (cost-effectiveness) � contribution to early recovery and emergency preparedness. The HCT is also guided by the outcomes of joint or cluster-specific rapid assessment findings, the Flash Appeal timeline, and an indication of the available funding, and is responsible for drafting the response plan section of the Flash Appeal document, incorporating the selected projects. 8.2.4 The Consolidated Appeals Process (CAP) 53 The CAP is a tool developed by OCHA to enable humanitarian organisations to jointly plan, coordinate, implement and monitor their response to emergencies. Through facilitating collaborative appeals, it reduces the risk of agencies competing for funds. In complex emergency situations, the CAP may be prepared on an annual basis. The CAP provides a snapshot of the emergency situation and sectoral response plans, and is an inclusive and coordinated programme cycle of: � strategic planning, leading to a Common Humanitarian Action Plan (CHAP) 264 | May 2010 Consolidated Appeals Process � a longer-term planning process (12 months) � often used in conflict situations � managed by the HC/RC � basis for the Common Humanitarian Action Plan (CHAP) � resources mobilised through Flash or Consolidated Appeal � important to list all cluster projects in a CAP – even those funded by other bilateral and multilateral donors � UN agencies, International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and NGOs may submit projects. � resource mobilisation, leading to a Consolidated Appeal or a Flash Appeal (in the event of natural disaster or a sudden deterioration in the emergency situation) � coordinated programme implementation � joint monitoring and evaluation � revision, if necessary � reporting on results. 53 Section adapted from OCHA (2009) Revised Guidelines for Flash Appeals
The Common Humanitarian Action Plan (CHAP) Advocacy and resource mobilisation The CHAP is the core of the CAP. It provides a strategic plan for humanitarian response in a given country or region. Comprehensive details on developing the education component of the CHAP are outlined in section 7.4. 8.2.5 The Central Emergency Response Fund The Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) is a funding instrument which provides the initial injection of funds for the most urgent life-saving projects in the Flash Appeal or CAP, to cover the time lag between issuance of appeals and receipt of commitments and funds from donors. Globally, CERF funds are allocated mainly to support Flash Appeals for suddenonset emergencies, and the CAP for under-funded longer-term crises. The CERF does not replace the need for a Flash or Consolidated Appeals, which are planning tools, but complements them. UN agencies, programmes and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) are eligible to submit projects to the CERF. The HC/RC makes recommendations concerning high-priority projects for funding and compiles the final CERF appeal document. Final allocation of available CERF funds is made by the CERF Secretariat. Funding is then disbursed by OCHA, through a Letter of Understanding, to the relevant UN agency. The CERF comprises a $450 million grant facility and a $50 million loan facility (ie, loans to cover the period before a donor pledge is honoured). http://ochaonline.un.org/Default.aspx?alias=ochaonline.un.org/cerf CERF grant facility Grants from the CERF are made for two general purposes: 1. for rapid response to sudden-onset emergencies or rapidly deteriorating conditions in an existing emergency. Disbursement of grants may begin from the onset of the emergency and must be committed within three to six months. The minimum grant allocation per project is $100,000. 2. to support activities within existing humanitarian response efforts in under-funded emergencies. One-third of the CERF grant facility is earmarked for under-funded protracted emergencies. 54 These countries are selected by the Emergency Relief Coordinator, who invites the relevant HC/RC to submit details of life-saving projects for funding. CERF loan facility 54 Under-funded emergencies are identified by the Emergency Relief Coordinator following consultation with RC/HCs and UN agencies, and analysis of information on the FTS.
