The Global Bank Central Emergency Response Fund (GB-CERF) is a humanitarian fund established by the Global Bank Disaster Risk Reduction and Reconstruction Fund (GB-DRRRF) for all nations and potential disaster victims. It was created to lead GB-DRRRF's efforts to address natural and man-made humanitarian emergencies. The GB-CERF primarily focuses on what happens a day after survivors are rescued, and lifesaving aid has been delivered. While meeting life-sustaining needs, the GB-CERF kick-starts funding for larger-scale critical projects by the GB-DRRRF and its partners. Its goal is to make complex humanitarian emergencies more predictable, flexible, and timely.

The Global Bank Central Emergency Response Fund's objectives are to promote early action and response to reduce fatalities, improve response to time-critical requirements, and strengthen the core elements of humanitarian response in underfunded crises, based on demonstrable needs and priorities identified in consultation with the affected country, as appropriate. It provides predictable and equitable funding to those affected by natural disasters and other complex humanitarian emergencies.

The Global Bank Central Emergency Response Fund is a humanitarian fund established by the Global Bank Group in 2018

The GB-CERF Financing
The Central Emergency Response Fund of the World Bank is supported entirely by voluntary contributions. While governments provide the majority of funding to the GB-CERF, it also receives support from foundations, businesses, charities, and individuals. Given the critical role of the Global Bank Central Emergency Response Fund in meeting complex humanitarian emergencies, its annual initial funding target is $1 billion from generous and consistent donor support.
