Accompanying Communities in Crisis an overview of PWRDF Emergency Response
A Rapid Response
ACT emergency funding is based on information from its members, from which ACT issues alerts and appeals to assist people caught in humanitarian emergencies. ACT can also respond through its Rapid Response Fund to meet urgent humanitarian needs. This protocol allows for the quick identification of local implementing partners and the rapid release of pre-approved emergency funds. Often by the time a situation is reported in the media the ACT response mechanism has already begun working on the ground. And more often, the program continues to run and work on situations that are never reported in the international media.
