Bridging the Needs-Based Funding Gap: NGO Field Perspectives

The humanitarian imperative to respond, or in the case of donors to fund, on the basis of needs is critical to realising humanitarian commitments to provide protection and assistance in an impartial matter. 

This study "Bridging the Needs-Based Funding Gap : NGO Field Perspectives”, highlights how donors and humanitarian actors can contribute to strengthen humanitarian financing systems, and in particular, needs-based funding for NGOs as humanitarian responders. It explores different areas including coordination and burden sharing, prioritization and needs analysis processes, risk reduction and resilience, funding mechanisms, and accountability.
