    United Nations Nations Unies Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs TOBY LANZER TAKES UP ASSIGNMENT AS REGIONAL HUMANITARIAN COORDINATOR FOR THE SAHEL Dakar, 27 July 2015: Toby Lanzer took up his assignment as Regional Coordinator for the Sahel last week in Dakar. Mr. Lanzer succeeds to Robert Piper who has held the position since March 2013. Toby Lanzer, a British national, brings over twenty years of experience with the United Nations, most of which were dedicated to working in conflict and crisis-affected countries. Most recently, he served as the Secretary-General’s Deputy Special Representative of the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) and UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator, where he was responsible for the largest aid operation in Africa. Prior to this, he worked on development, humanitarian and peacekeeping issues in a range of countries, including Angola, Brazil, the Central African Republic, Chile, Georgia and Timor-Leste. Across the Sahel, over twenty million people are chronically food insecure. Further, conflicts and insecurity in Mali, north-east Nigeria and neighbouring Central African Republic have displaced over 3.4 million people, twice as many as one year ago. “I relish the opportunity of working in this vibrant region,” said Toby Lanzer. “Humanitarian action in the Sahel must tackle the most pressing needs while simultaneously helping to improve families’ self- reliance.” For 2015, US$ 1.97 billion is required for humanitarian assistance for millions affected in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, the Gambia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria and Senegal. To date, US$ 640 million, or just under one third of the requirements, has been contributed to the Sahel Humanitarian Response Plan.

  • Enhancing Southern Capacity: Rhetoric and Reality
    issue 28 July 2007 Enhancing Southern capacity: rhetoric and reality Published by the Refugee Studies Centre, University of Oxford. Corinne Owen from Forced Migration Review Forced Migration Review provides the a forum for the regular exchange of practical experience, information and ideas between researchers, refugees and internally displaced editors people, and those who work with them. It is published in English, Spanish, Arabic and French Virtually every humanitarian agency talks about their commitment to building – or enhancing – by the Refugee Studies Centre, University of Southern capacity. Several readers and advisors encouraged us to produce an issue looking at the Oxford. FMR was launched in 1998 in partnership complex issues around this much-used but rarely-defined term. To our surprise, our call for papers with the Norwegian Refugee Council. did not produce the flood of articles we expected. The only previous occasion on which we received so few theme articles was when we published an issue focusing on older displaced people. Perhaps this tells us something about lack of fit between rhetoric and reality? Do international agencies Editors still define ‘capacity building’ in a way which implies that Southern recipients have no capacity Marion Couldrey & Dr Tim Morris to start with? Is the capacity-building industry a North-driven, patronising and uni-directional transfer of knowledge? Is there genuine commitment to helping nationally-based organisations respond to future crises? The articles in this issue address these and other questions. Sub-Editor (Arabic edition) Musab Hayatli Apologies for the delay in getting this issue of FMR to you. In view of the gravity of the humanitarian crisis in Iraq we prioritised the special issue – ‘Iraq’s displacement crisis: the search for solutions’ Coordinator – which is being distributed with this regular FMR.

  • Central Emergency Response Fund- Two Year Evaluation
    CENTRAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE FUND TWO YEAR EVALUATION Martin Barber, Team Leader Abhijit Bhattacharjee Roberta M. Lossio Lewis Sida July 2008 CERF Two Year Evaluation – Final Report (July 2008) FOREWORD During the 1990s and early 2000s, funding for appeals was often inconsistent, at times slow and sometimes linked more to political considerations rather than need. Some appeals were funded over 100% (e.g. for crises such as the former Yugoslavia), while others received less than 20% of needed funds. In order to address this shortcoming, member states sought to create predictable, timely and equitable means to fund humanitarian crises. In December 2005, the United Nations passed a resolution, adding to the existing $50 million loan facility of the Central Emergency Revolving Fund a grant facility of up to US $450 million to become the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF). Resolution 60/124, which created this new Fund, required that a 2-year independent evaluation would be conducted that would report back to the General Assembly on the progress of the new CERF. Since its launch on 9 March 2006, the CERF has grown rapidly, receiving over a billion dollars in contributions and disbursing over 1,000 grants in 62 countries. During this time, implementing agencies, OCHA, the CERF Secretariat and the UN Secretariat worked together to establish procedures, clarify roles and find innovative solutions while simultaneously responding to an increasing number of disasters. Managing the expanding CERF allowed little time for comprehensive reflection, so OCHA and its partners have eagerly anticipated this evaluation. We look to this external evaluation as not just an accountability report to member states, but as a valuable opportunity to provide strategic recommendations that we can use to sharpen and improve the functioning of the CERF.
