Contingency Fund for Emergencies (CFE)

The Contingency Fund for Emergencies (CFE) gives WHO the resources to respond immediately to disease outbreaks and humanitarian crises with health consequences. The ability to respond quickly – in as little as 24 hours - before other funding is mobilized can stop a health emergency from spiraling out of control, saving lives and resources.
