Thank you.
Indeed, on the humanitarian side, our program is set up specifically to allow for rapid response. We can respond within 12 to 24 hours to provide funding to our partners. However, the procedures are put in place to ensure that we are funding our trusted partners, those that are adhering to the humanitarian principles so key to responding impartially and neutrally to the challenges of a conflict zone and that also have the proper security background so that they ensure the security of their workers.
Our procedures are very streamlined and allow for a very rapid response. We continue to monitor the situation and assess needs. The people on the ground assist us with that. They are part of the coordination meetings that are going on with the UN and with NGOs. We are also in contact with our partners, our donors, and are continually in contact with NGOs on the ground to ensure the needs are continuously being met and continuously understood.
I should emphasize that the response we did in February was in anticipation of the current crisis. The contingency planning in place at that time was suggesting that such an event would happen. We put the funding in place to allow the international actors on the ground there to respond quickly. They've been able to stockpile and to develop a response plan as a result.
