Contributions
Since its inception in 2014, the CHF-Afghanistan pooled fund has received just over US$120 million in contributions from eight key donors dedicated to coordinated humanitarian action in Afghanistan.
In 2016, an estimated US$47.2 million has been committed, the most recent contribution in September for £9.5 million from the United Kingdom, which included the planned deposit of £6 million as per the multi-year agreement and an addition £3.5 million in response to the Flash Appeal. In October, Norway has also responded to the appeal with an additional NOK 10,000,000 in assistance to address the critical needs outlined in the Flash Appeal for Afghan “people on the move”.
These commitments represent a 79 per cent achievement towards the Fund’s annual target set at US$59 million by the Humanitarian Coordinator (or 15 per cent of the 2016 HRP). CHF contributions are forming approximately 11.7 per cent of the funding requirement for the humanitarian response in Afghanistan this year and 28.5 per cent of the HRP funding received.
