Pooled Fund impact stories

The Pooled Funds StoryHub is a collection of stories that show the impact of the OCHA-managed pooled funds: the global Central Emergency Response Fund,  the nineteen Country-based Pooled Funds, and one regional fund, for West and Central Africa.

OCHA’s pooled funds help provide life-saving assistance to the world’s most vulnerable people, with contributions from national governments, foundations, and private individuals. In 2022, the Funds together distributed nearly US $2 billion.

From ensuring safe drinking water and shelter in Ukraine, to supporting people displaced by unprecedented drought in the Horn of Africa, to surviving Kyrgyzstan’s coldest winter, these human stories help illustrate how pooled fund support makes a difference in the lives of real people dealing with severe crises.
