Evaluation of the Common Humanitarian Fund - Country Report: Democratic Republic of Congo

This Common Humanitarian Fund (CHF) country report of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) provides an overview and summary of the findings of the country level assessment undertaken in the context of a broader global evaluation of the CHF carried out in the second half of 2014. It is one of five country-level assessments prepared as part of the overall review.

The CHF in DRC, known as the Pooled Fund, was together with Sudan established as an initial pilot CHF. It has been in place since 2006 and has made important humanitarian response contributions to the crises in the country during the last eight years. The CHF was able to attract significant donor support and channel these funds to a range of projects across the country implemented by United Nations agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Complementarity with Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) allocations, which have been more limited and support emergency interventions by the United Nations agencies alone, has been largely achieved.
