REPORT STRUCTURE
The report features the central achievements of the Fund, providing a detailed presentation of how it has supported the realization of each MCA across the three most affected countries – Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Between 1 November 2014 and 28 May 2015, the Fund disbursed over US$128 million to close critical financing gaps in the Ebola response across these three countries.
Funded projects have addressed an array of critical needs. They have ranged from a large disbursement of US$40 million to fund logistics operations under the World Food Programme (WFP), which supported UNMEER operations, to smaller interventions focused on, inter alia, social mobilization, protection for children, survivors, establishing Rapid Response Stabilization Teams (RRSTs) and capacity building in Sierra Leone’s National Ebola Response Center (NERC).
This consolidated progress report on activities implemented under the Ebola Response MPTF builds on the first Interim Report. It covers the operations of the UN Ebola Response MPTF and the implementation of projects approved for funding as of 28 May 2015. In line with the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the report is consolidated based on information and data contained in the individual progress reports and financial statements submitted by Recipient Organizations to the MPTF Office. It is neither an evaluation of the Ebola Response MPTF nor an assessment of the performance of the Participating Organizations. However, the report does provide the Ebola Response MPTF Advisory Committee with a comprehensive overview of achievements and challenges associated with projects funded through the UN Ebola Response MPTF, enabling it to make strategic decisions.
