Funding Overview and Partnerships
UNICEF requires USD 173.5 million to provide life-saving support to women and children affected by the floods. The appeal has been funded for 38 per cent, leaving a gap of USD 107 million. In addition to the re-purposing of regular resources, funds from the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF), the United States of America, United Kingdom, Sweden, Japan, Germany, Education Cannot Wait (ECW), Norway, Korea, Romania, private sector partners Telenor and Unilever, and flexible thematic humanitarian funding have been critical to the initial response. UNICEF is grateful to donors for the much-needed resources and to the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF), as these have been critical for the first wave of response.
