AIDA Director elected as advisory member of UN Central Emergency Response Fund
The Director of the Azerbaijan International Development Agency (AIDA) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ashraf Shikhaliyev has been elected as a member of Advisory Group of Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF), APA reports quoting UN website.
Since its inception in 2006, the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) has allocated more than $4 billion in support of humanitarian operations in 95 countries and territories facing natural or man-made catastrophes, ranging from the victims of earthquakes and tsunamis to survivors fleeing war and atrocities in their own homelands.

As CERF marks 10 years of operations, the Advisory Group is vital to guide the Fund in a challenging resource mobilization environment, as global discussions on humanitarian financing pave the way forward for the future of aid funding.

Most recently CERF helped aid agencies deliver food, water and shelter in the immediate aftermath of the Nepal earthquake, provided $44 million for life-saving activities in Yemen and supplied $78 million needed to keep critical aid operations up and running in Syria and neighbouring countries.
