The following results make this initiative a best practice: 4.6 million children reached until December 2020 (48.2% female and 51.8% male) and 51,501 children with disabilities were reached. ECW has also responded to the pandemic successfully and swiftly in 2020, rapidly disbursing over US$45 million in two rounds of COVID-19 funding, and was also able to reach over 29.2 million girls and boys who were already suffering from the impact of forced displacement and natural disasters. In doing so, ECW proved that its FER grants are an essential investment modality in crisis context.
