RAPID RESPONSE FUND
Global health and development programs are facing an unprecedented crisis, with funding suspensions putting millions of lives at risk. Many vital services—often unseen but essential—are left vulnerable. In moments like this, strategic action is critical to safeguard progress and ensure that life-saving interventions continue to protect the world’s most at-risk communities.
What is the intended impact of the Rapid Response Fund?
We propose establishing a dedicated fund that will enable us to continuously assess the evolving impacts of the U.S. foreign aid freeze and respond systematically rather than react hastily. Our fund is designed to leverage our research and evaluation expertise to address an emergency situation that, while not traditionally classified as such, threatens to reverse decades of progress in global health and development. Traditionally, our organization avoids reactive, “crisis‐mode” interventions because we believe in addressing long‐neglected needs through carefully planned, sustained strategies. However, the current funding cuts are affecting organizations implementing interventions that are essential for long‐term human development. We will closely monitor the developments in USAID funding and make funding decisions based on where we identify the greatest need and risk for human development progress.
