Ecuador: Extreme rainfall related to the El Niño phenomenon - Early Action Protocol summary (EAP2020EC02)
Format
The IFRC Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) has approved a total allocation of CHF 249,983 from its Forecast-based Action (FbA) mechanism for the Ecuadorian Red Cross (ERC). The approved amount consists of an immediate allocation of CHF 135,565 for readiness and prepositioning and CHF 114,418 automatically allocated to implement early actions once the defined triggers are met.
The FbA by the DREF is a forecast-based financing mechanism managed by the DREF. Allocations for FbA by the DREF are made from a separate financial component of the DREF (MDR00004) and do not affect the reserves of DREF appeal code MDR00001. Unearmarked contributions to the FbA by the DREF are encouraged to guarantee that enough funding is available for the Early Action Protocols created.
