Spain is the only donor to El Salvador, contributing 100% of funding to date this year (US$0.2 million); and Switzerland is the largest bilateral donor to Honduras (US$0.1 million) so far in 2015. However, the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP), while not a bilateral donor, has allocated relatively large amounts of funding to both Guatemala (US$9.7 million) and Honduras (US5.6 million) so far this year.
The UN-coordinated Emergency Response Plans for Honduras and Guatemala request US$13.2 million and US$23.8 million from donors, respectively. According to the FTS, both appeals are 42% funded (Honduras, US$7.6 million; Guatemala, US$13.7 million). A further US$0.1 million and US$1.1 million have been contributed outside of the appeals to Honduras and Guatemala, respectively.
No funding from the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) has been allocated to El Salvador, Guatemala or Honduras so far in 2015.
In 2015, the food sector has received the highest amount of funding in Guatemala and Honduras (US$9.7 million and US$5.6 million, respectively). No funding has been allocated to the food sector in El Salvador so far this year.
