<p>DFID has not provided direct financial support to local faith and church networks
responding to the drought in Ethiopia. However, DFID has contributed £70.1 million
over three years (2014-16) to the Ethiopia Humanitarian Response Fund (HRF), a pooled
donor fund responding to the most urgent drought needs. DFID is the largest donor
to the HRF (74% of current funding), which is administered by the United Nations Office
for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).</p><p>In 2016 alone, the HRF
has granted £40 million to 48 projects run by organizations, including World Vision
and Catholic Relief Services, to bring food, water and emergency healthcare to over
half a million of the most drought affected men, women and children in Ethiopia.</p>
