Contingency Fund for Emergencies – Second quarterly update 2022

Overview

In the second quarter of 2022, the WHO Contingency Fund for Emergencies (CFE) was instrumental in providing frontline responders with the resources they needed to respond rapidly to health emergencies.

Between April and June, the CFE helped WHO and partners to respond to several emergencies, such as the crises in the Horn of Africa and the Sahel; cyclone Gombe in Mozambique; conflict in West Darfur; cholera in Pakistan; and Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Additionally, early funding was released in response to the monkeypox outbreak in several regions.
