Published in March 2008, Global Humanitarian Assistance 2007/2008 is the fifth in a series of reports produced by Development Initiatives as part of the wider Global Humanitarian Assistance (GHA) programme.
Chapter 1 attempts to quantify and analyse long-term trends in humanitarian assistance. How much official humanitarian assistance is there? How does it compare with aid expenditure as a whole? How generous are donors in terms of expenditure per citizen or as a share of gross national income (GNI)? What about other sources of humanitarian assistance? How does the bilateral allocation of humanitarian assistance reflect the humanitarian priorities defined in the UN consolidated appeal process (CAP)? Is it reaching everyone in need?
Chapter 2 looks at the latest developments in humanitarian assistance financing and policy. What are the implications of the 2007 introduction of new rules for reporting and analysing official humanitarian assistance and aid? Are the funding mechanisms such as common (pooled) humanitarian funds (CHF) and Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) achieving their objectives to strengthen humanitarian response? What steps are being taken to improve predictability, response capacity and coordination?
