By maintaining a robust Crisis Response Fund, we can act swiftly in times of unforeseen crises, reducing suffering and aiding recovery. Your donation facilitates rapid responses to natural disasters and conflict-related emergencies, ensuring that vulnerable populations can receive the support they need without delay. 

We leverage our expertise in sustainable development to bridge the gap from immediate relief to long-term recovery. We are committed to the communities we serve and strive to equip them with the resources they need to overcome hardship and move toward a safer, more secure future. 

Funds are allocated based on a transparent assessment process that prioritizes urgent needs that lead to sustainable recovery. NEF’s innovative approach uses knowledge gained through past responses and our active involvement in the impacted communities. This includes: 

• Supporting our network of local partners, who are ready to mobilize, rapidly deliver a tailored response, and quickly adapt to complex, highly dynamic crises. 

• Reaching the most vulnerable, especially those facing multiple vulnerabilities, such as displaced people with disabilities and marginalized populations living in remote areas. 

• Ensuring people can meet their basic needs effectively and sustainably by providing individualized support at scale. 

• Utilizing and leveraging market-based approaches that foster self-reliance, dignity and safe livelihoods rather than short-term charity.
