A Common Humanitarian Fund, designed by Crown Agents and to be managed by the United Nations, has been launched in Sudan. The Fund aims to increase the flexibility, timeliness and co-ordination of humanitarian funding by giving the UN Humanitarian Co-ordinator sufficient authority and resources to be able to meet the top priorities in the 2006 Work Plan.
Under contract to the Department for International Development, Crown Agents designed the Fund's architecture and established the necessary legal, financial, procedural and institutional arrangements. Five donors are to contribute to the Fund initially, and the aim is that if it is successful the Fund will be replicated in future humanitarian emergencies.
