CERF Allocation

Kyrgyzstan

Displacement, 02 Nov 2022

Overview of the humanitarian situation

The escalation of military hostilities in September 2022 had a devastating impact on the lives of all Kyrgyz people. Their coping mechanisms were already stretched by years of widespread poverty. The crisis led to the loss of shelter and basic household and non-food items (NFI), impacting food insecurity, along with protection concerns, affecting 276,928 people. As of 3 October, 11,193 people remained displaced.

CERF-funded assistance

In response to the crisis, CERF allocated $1 million from its Rapid Response window for humanitarian action. This funding enabled UN agencies and partners to provide life-saving assistance to 37,637 people, including 9,858 women, 8,041men, 19,738 children, and 1,375 people with disabilities in Shelter and Non-Food Items, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and Food Assistance sectors.

CERFs Strategic Added Value

The CERF allocation served as a critical injection of early funds for the flash appeal and enabled UN agencies and partners to start the emergency response in a timely way, quickly delivering assistance to affected people.
