Deadline- 24 January 2013
The Department for International Development is inviting applications to join its Rapid Response Facility (RRF), which is ready-to-go network of top UK-based businesses and charities that provide emergency relief when major international crises hit – such as floods, famines and earthquakes.
The Rapid Response Facility (RRF) enables DFID to commit to rapid humanitarian funding for pre-qualified partners. This will be done in the first 72 hours following a rapid onset disaster, spike in a chronic humanitarian emergency, or other disasters as deemed necessary. Responding rapidly in humanitarian disasters ensures that more lives are saved and suffering is reduced.
The currently pre-qualified RRF implementing partners are-
Action Against Hunger; ActionAid; British Red Cross; CAFOD; Care International; Christian Aid; Concern; GOAL; Handicap International; HelpAge Interational; International Medical Corps; International Rescue Committee; Islamic Relief; MapAction; Mercy Corps Scotland; Merlin; Mine Advisory Group; Oxfam; Save the Children; ShelterBox; Tearfund; World Vision
Eligibility & Criteria-
- The Rapid Response Facility (RRF) enables DFID to commit to rapid humanitarian funding for pre-qualified partners. This will be done in the first 72 hours following a rapid onset, spike in a chronic humanitarian emergency, or other disasters as deemed necessary. It enables DFID to work with partners that: have a proven record of response; provide high quality results; and deliver value for money for DFID and beneficiaries.
- RRF funding is only available to organisations that have successfully passed pre-qualification. DFID undertakes an annual process every October to enable additional organisations to pre-qualify. Those wishing to do so are advised to check the DFID website.
