Contingency Fund for Emergencies (CFE)

About the CFE

The CFE provides WHO the resources to respond rapidly to disease outbreaks and health emergencies, often in 24 hours or less. This saves lives and helps prevent unnecessary suffering. Furthermore, a quick response dramatically reduces the costs of controlling outbreaks and emergencies, as well as wider social and economic impacts. The CFE also allows WHO the flexibility to scale up operations in response to an escalation in a health emergency and provide funding to ensure the continuity of critical, life-saving operations in the absence of other donor funding. The CFE has also been used to support preparedness and readiness activities.
