Description 

January 2021 - The Canadian Humanitarian Assistance Fund (CHAF), managed by the Humanitarian Coalition (HC), supports timely and reliable humanitarian assistance to those affected by rapid-onset, small- and medium-scale disasters in developing countries. Through the CHAF, funds are allocated to the Humanitarian Coalition member best placed to respond to a particular emergency. The Humanitarian Coalition is made up of nine Canadian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that include: Canadian Foodgrains Bank, Canadian Lutheran World Relief, CARE Canada, Islamic Relief Canada, Oxfam Canada, Oxfam-Québec, Plan International Canada, Save the Children Canada and World Vision Canada. In the third phase of CHAF, more than 30 projects were financed to support responses to small- and medium-scale disasters, where there were unmet humanitarian needs and gaps in the humanitarian response. The fourth phase of the CHAF ontinues to support humanitarian responses to sudden-onset disasters, including meeting the differing needs of women, men, girls and boys. With GAC's support, the Humanitarian Coalition, through the CHAF conducts activities that include: (1) promoting early actions and responses to reduce loss of life; (2) improving the speed of emergency responses; and (3) supporting life-saving activities such as health care, protection services, and emergency shelter, including water, sanitation and hygiene services.

Expected results 

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) efficient, effective and timely disbursement of funds to small- and medium-scale disaster responses; (2) increased capacity of NGOs to respond rapidly to more crises, including through meeting the differing needs of women, men, girls and boys; and (3) increased visibility of Canada’s collaborative response to small- and medium-scale natural disasters in developing countries. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in communities experiencing humanitarian crises or that are food insecure.
