Process Review of the Common Humanitarian Fund for Somalia

The first external review of the CHF-Somalia was conducted by a third-party organization. It looks at both funding windows of the CHF: standard allocations and the emergency reserve, including emergency allocations. A major aim of the review was to provide the Humanitarian Coordinator (HC), CHF Advisory Board, donors and recipients with the proper level of assurance around the achievement of planned results and operational effectiveness of the CHF mechanism. The review also includes realistic and actionable recommendations aimed at improving operational aspects of the CHF and identifies relevant policy issues which need to be addressed, either at the country level or the HQ level.
