The annual Global Humanitarian Assistance (GHA) report comprehensively assesses international financing at work in humanitarian situations since 2000.
The GHA Report 2009 presents the latest data on financial flows to humanitarian crises. But the key messages in the report are not only about money. Financing decisions affect behaviour and humanitarian architecture. They help determine the power of different groups, they influence policy priorities and capacity development.
GHA Report 2009 presents updated statistical information on financial flows to humanitarian situations. It provides new information and analysis on funding from NGOs and non-DAC donors, together with analysis of the links between humanitarian crises and chronic poverty. The 2009 report also examines the impact of new financing mechanisms such as the CERF and country-level pooled funds. Future GHA reports will also look in depth at humanitarian responses from developing countries themselves, which we believe are currently underestimated as a part of the overall humanitarian picture.
