Previous H2H Fund activations

The network’s first coordinated technical service package was deployed in the Caribbean in 2017, supporting the humanitarian response to Hurricane Irma. In 2019, a core team was established to professionalize the network structure and administer the network’s new fund for members. Since then, the H2H Fund has been activated to support the humanitarian response over 20 times.

    On 30 January 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus (yet unnamed) a public health emergency of international concern and listed six priority activities to control the spread. Chief among them was combatting the misinformation and disinformation around the growing crisis – the WHO referred to it as the ‘info-demic’. The H2H Network immediately recognized the need to offer the skills of its communications, community engagement and information management members.

    The collective goal was to analyse information gaps and develop evidence-based content to address them in relevant languages, formats, and channels. The result was a regular and extensive programme of information, guidance, and training based on scientific evidence, tailored to local needs and delivered in local languages.

    Mozambique: Supporting the response to Cyclone Idai

    • When April – June 2019
    • Where Mozambique

    Objective

    The network’s new fund was not yet operational when Cyclone Idai hit Mozambique on 14 March 2019. However, given the scale of the emergency and the need for specialized technical support for the response, the fund used its interim processes to deliver a package of services. The network’s activation of its service package happened exactly one week later with funding for five members to focus on mapping, information management and community engagement.
