United Nations Ebola Response Fund
United Nations Ebola Response Fund is a specialized fund established by the United Nations to combat the Ebola virus disease outbreak. The fund was created in response to the 2014-2016 West Africa Ebola outbreak, which was the most widespread outbreak of Ebola virus disease in history.
History[edit | edit source]
The United Nations Ebola Response Fund was established in September 2014 by the United Nations General Assembly to provide immediate funding to UN agencies, funds and programmes, as well as to international organizations, NGOs and governments for rapid, flexible and direct support to the Ebola emergency response.
Function[edit | edit source]
The fund is designed to support the most critical, high-impact interventions where funding gaps exist. It is managed by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and is guided by the strategic framework set out by the UN Mission for Ebola Emergency Response (UNMEER).
Contributions[edit | edit source]
The United Nations Ebola Response Fund has received contributions from a wide range of donors, including member states, corporations, individuals, and other entities. The fund is transparent and accountable, with all contributions and allocations publicly available on the fund's website.
Impact[edit | edit source]
The United Nations Ebola Response Fund has played a crucial role in the global response to the Ebola crisis. It has enabled the rapid scale-up of life-saving interventions, supported the strengthening of health systems, and helped to prevent the spread of the disease to other countries.
