Published purpose

The Emergency Disaster Assistance Fund (EDAF) was initiated as a mechanism to increase the effectiveness and timeliness of assistance provided to disaster affected people. This project provides timely funding in a predictable manner in response to natural disasters. The EDAF disburses monies to support Federation emergency operations when the following criteria are met: 1) the government of the affected country requests international assistance; 2) the Federation has issued an Emergency Appeal of less than CHF 3 million; and 3) the affected country is on CIDA's list of countries eligible to receive Canadian Overseas Development Assistance support.
