The Global Humanitarian Assistance Report 2014 uses the latest data to present the most comprehensive assessment of international financing allocated to humanitarian situations.

The report answers questions about the way that the international community responds to crisis and vulnerability. How many people are affected by crisis? How much humanitarian assistance is there and is it enough? Where is it spent, who provides it and what channels do they spend it through?

This 2015 edition delves deeper into the resources, humanitarian and beyond, that touch the lives of crisis-affected people – from development assistance, to government revenues, remittances and peacekeeping. 

The second area highlighted in this year’s report is the need for better data, both on resources and also on the impacts of crises on different groups of people. The call for a data revolution has highlighted the poor quality of data available for most fragile and conflict-affected countries, but also the need to disaggregate the information that is available.
