The purpose of the Rapid On-set Humanitarian Experts (RAP) Fund is to support the rapid deployment of Canadian humanitarian and disaster relief experts to support the personnel needs of United Nations (UN) agencies and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to fill short-term human resource gaps during sudden-onset natural disasters and complex humanitarian situations. The RAP works to enhance the timeliness, reliability and effectiveness of Canada's response to international humanitarian crises. In addition, through the project CANADEM is managing Canada's roster of United Nations Disaster Assistance and Coordination (UNDAC) experts. Following medium to large-scale humanitarian situations, UNDAC teams are available for rapid deployment to a crisis affected country, at the request of the UN. When called upon, UNDAC teams provide early needs assessments, information management, and preliminary coordination for the UN and host government to assist with response efforts.

Expected outputs include: deployment of approximately 28 CANADEM technical experts to support the humanitarian responses of UN agencies and the IOM; and, maintenance of Canada's UNDAC roster at a high level of readiness. Expected intermediate outcome is the reduced vulnerability of crisis-affected people, especially women and children.
