Resumen
Descripción
The Special Fund for Emergency and Resilience Activities (SFERA) enhances the capacity of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to respond rapidly to food security and agricultural emergencies. Through strategic resource partner funding, SFERA provides FAO with the financial means and flexibility to respond promptly to humanitarian crises, reducing the time between funding decisions and action on the ground. Access to SFERA funding enables FAO to support highly vulnerable populations to anticipate, prepare for, withstand and adapt to shocks and stressors. These efforts save lives and livelihoods, and reduce humanitarian needs and requirements down the line. This document provides an overview of SFERA’s mechanisms and benefits, highlighting its role in enabling FAO to deliver rapid, flexible and high-impact assistance to crisis-affected populations worldwide.
