ACTED was chosen to integrate the Technical Review Committee of ERF for the next semester. ACTED will thus actively participate in the revision of project proposals for emergency interventions in several sectors, such as sanitation, education or shelter. Chaired by the UN Humanitarian Coordinator, the ERF provides quick and flexible funding of up to US 400,000 dollars to humanitarian organizations for urgent interventions in Iraq. In 2009, approximately 40 ERF proposals for urgent actions were approved.
