In 2010, the humanitarian community established theEmergency Response Fund (ERF) as a pooled fundmechanism to provide rapid and flexible funds in countryat the onset of an emergency.

The majority of PHPF funding acts as a bridge to covergaps in humanitarian service provision of urgenthumanitarian needs. In many cases, this has been theonly funding available to meet critical humanitarian needs.Donor contributions enable funding to provide food, waterand shelter projects, life-saving nutrition and medicalcare for people struggling to survive in humanitarianemergencies.

The Grants Management System (GMS) is a new mandatory tool for CBPFs and is critical in rationalizing the workload of Humanitarian Financing Units. It facilitates partners' interaction with CBPFs at all stages of the grant cycle and promotes efficiency, transparency and supports risk management.

As of 15 May 2017, humanitarian partners have completed 350 projects; 5 projects are ongoing.Since August 2010, more than US$ 74 million have been allocated for humanitarian projects, assisting more than 6.2 million people.More than 94 per cent funds were allocated to NGOs with 59 per cent going to national NGOs. The PHPF is the key humanitarian funding window for many Pakistani NGOs.More than 90 per cent projects have been monitored through field visits. Within six months after their comple-tion, all projects are audited by an independent auditing firm.Gender considerations are maintained in all projects. A gender marker kit is included in the funds application package. Also, the humanitarian community’s gender task force is represented on the PHPF review board.A complete NGO Capacity Assessment tool kit hasbeen developed based on a consultative process withPHPF stakeholders, and is included in the 2015 PHPFCountry Operational Manual.The independent evaluation found the disbursement of funds in Pakistan to be quicker than in other countries. The PHPF Pakistan Unit has nevertheless strengthened its capacity to further improve its disbursement rate.

Pakistan Humanitarian Pooled Fund is country-based pooled funds that provide NGOs and UN agencies with rapid and flexible funding to respond to unfore-seen, sudden-onset humanitarian emergencies.

PHPF provides the HumanitarianCoordinator, in consultation with theAdvisory Board, with two modalities toallocate funds:1) The standard allocation2)The reserve allocation
