The primary purpose of this review was to assess the value added by Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) funding allocated during 2014 for the humanitarian response to the crisis in South Sudan and bordering countries that provided asylum to South Sudanese refugees after the conflict had intensified in December 2013. A revised set of indicators in a draft version of CERF’s Performance and Accountability Framework (PAF) was used as a tool to assess CERF’s contribution with the objective of providing assurances to the Emergency Relief Coordinator (ERC) that commitments regarding inclusive planning processes, adherence to quality criteria, efficient allocation and use of CERF resources, and adequacy of recipient agency monitoring and evaluation systems are being respected
