April 2024 – The World Health Organization (WHO) works with countries and partners to prepare, prevent, respond, and recover from hazards that create health emergencies. This includes disasters, disease outbreaks and conflicts. The WHO’s Contingency Fund for Emergencies (CFE) is a replenishable fund established to provide the resources necessary to rapidly scale up WHO’s initial acute response to outbreaks and emergencies with health consequences. The Fund seeks to fill critical funding gaps from the beginning of an emergency until the organization can access additional sources of funds.

With GAC’s support, the CFE helps the WHO to react early to prevent health emergencies from escalating. Project activities include: (1) deploying experts to assess outbreak threat; (2) delivering essential medicines, supplies, and equipment; (3) training health personnel; and (4) strengthening health sector coordination and health information systems.
