The Somalia Strategic Response Plan SRP is currently 22% funded; and the Ethiopia Humanitarian Requirements document is 19% funded.
US$275m has been reported disbursed to Somalia and US$151m to Ethiopia so far in 2014, very little of this earmarked specifically for the drought affected areas.
At the same point last year (2013) the totals were much higher - US$499m for Somalia and US$384m for Ethiopia.
On 4 June, the ERC issued an urgent request to the UN Security Council for an immediate injection of US$60m to the meet the most urgent funding needs within the Strategic Response Plan (SRP). This is for a three month operational response plan initiated by OCHA because of serious underfunding. OCHA reports that the next two months are critical and warns that the situation is alarmingly similar to the pre-2011 famine.
In Somalia, further unreported allocations of over US$35m are in the pipeline from ECHO, Sweden and the UK; and are also likely from other donors, including the US, Germany, Denmark and Switzerland (tbc).
There has been no CERF allocation to Somalia in 2014 but allocations are reported as likely in response to the 3 month plan within the critically underfunded SRP; US$6m of 2014 CERF funding has gone to Ethiopia (but not for drought/food insecurity).
