5. CARE’s emergency response fund mechanisms

Once an emergency has been declared, COs may apply to access the CI ERF. This fund is available to support the rapid start of a response and early assessment.   In order to support sustainability of the ERF, funds should be recovered when donor contracts are secured. Although this is not mandatory it is highly encouraged (see section 8). Do not treat the CI ERF like another grant which you are compelled to spend.
