CERF High-level Pledging event for 2024.
The High-level Pledging Event (HLPE) on the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) for 2024 aims to mobilize financial resources to ensure the CERF is well-placed to effectively provide time-critical, life-saving humanitarian assistance in response to the exponentially growing humanitarian needs.
Agenda:
Opening segment: This will include opening remarks by UN Secretary-General Mr. António Guterres and remarks by Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator (USG/ERC) for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Mr. Martin Griffiths.
High-level panel: a distinguished panel will focus on CERF's role in meeting the urgent life-saving needs of people in crises.
Statements and announcements: Member States and partners to announce support and pledges to CERF for 2024 and potential additional top-ups for 2023. Interventions should be limited to two minutes each.
Closing segment: Closing remarks by Mr. Martin Griffiths, USG/ERC, OCHA.
CERF is a dependable and predictable funding mechanism for the most urgent and critical humanitarian action. It is often the first funding source in new and rapidly escalating emergencies, and one of the few funding sources in underfunded emergencies. Strong, reliable and inclusive donor support is essential for CERF to remain fit for purpose and be able to adapt continuously.
In the context of an unprecedented growth of humanitarian needs, a fully-resourced CERF at US$1 billion, as endorsed by the General Assembly in 2016, is essential to ensure efficient, coordinated assistance reaches the people most in need.

*me planning to go to a workshop today about how to mitigate stress and burn out at work*
Boss lady: you can't go today cause we have no office/testing accom. coverage
So instead, I am doing 3-4 different jobs (escorting students to the testing room and giving exams, sitting in on two meetings, reaching out to faculty about late exam reqs, and doing case notes) and keep getting pulled in different directions due to interruptions.
I'm going to fucking quit.

It REALLY sucks applying for jobs when you're too deeply disorganized to be good at anything administrative.

The semester hasn't even started yet and I already know that the second week is absolutely going to flatten me because not only do I have the two lab sections I TA and also my two classes that I'm taking, I also will be taking over another lab section that week because the usual TA has either an appointment or a committee meeting then, will (more than likely) be jumping in as an assistant on two more (three-hour) labs, and need to have a committee meeting sometime between all of that.
also I'm in the middle of being trained in on lab stuff, so I'm pretty sure that any time not spent either teaching, assisting, or studenting will be spent trying to get the rest of my samples through.
