Dear DERF users
Due to upcoming holidays, please note the following:
From July 7th until August 6th, disbursement request, adjustments requests etc. will not be processed by the DERF team.
Crises alerts are not assessed from July 7th and until July 30th.
From August 6th all services are back to normal, i.e., the usual ongoing processes with disbursements, requests and of course Q&am
The DERF is currently not able to provide humanitarian grants due to the fact that the Danish Government has not yet approved the 2023 Finance Act. Therefore, the DERF will neither assess incoming alerts nor open calls for applications for the time being.

The DERF managed by CISU and Save the Children- Denmark starts 2021 with no available funding for calls, which also means that incoming alerts will not be assessed.
