The Rapid Relief Fund (RRF) is a locally managed humanitarian funding mechanism established to enable rapid, flexible, and locally led emergency responses in Myanmar. Working through pre-qualified local organizations, RRF helps ensure that life-saving assistance reaches crisis-affected communities quickly, with funding that can be mobilized within 48 hours after rapid need assessment of natural or man-made disasters.
RRF prioritizes local leadership, accountability, and quality. It provides funding alongside technical guidance, risk management, compliance support, monitoring, and learning to strengthen the capacity of local organizations to lead effective emergency responses.
Through its localization-focused approach, RRF supports local actors to respond based on the needs and priorities of affected communities while maintaining strong standards of transparency, humanitarian principles, and responsible resource management.
To enable locally rooted, community-trusted organizations to deliver fast, lifesaving relief while strengthening local systems for long-term recovery and resilience.
