DARA Humanitarian Response Index 2010

The Humanitarian Response Index (HRI) 2010 provides an independent and objective assessment of how well the world’s main donor governments are supporting aid efforts. The report reveals increasing politicization and militarization of humanitarian aid by governments, which is compromising aid efforts to assist vulnerable populations and endangering humanitarian workers. The report urges donor governments to adopt a more principled approach in their assistance, and respect the Good Humanitarian Donorship principles as an essential step to make humanitarian aid more effective.
