Needs Based Allocation & Humanitarian Financing

Theme 3: Enhancing needs-based allocation (Principle 2 & 6) and systems for humanitarian financing (Good Practice points 11 – 14).

Rationale: To ensure impartial and needs based financing, there is a need to improve the quality of needs assessment methodologies and mechanisms to compare relative severity of need. There is equally a need to ensure financing mechanisms are appropriately structured for meeting humanitarian needs (i.e. predictable, flexible, etc).

Workstreams:  

  •   3.1  Needs Assessment
  •   3.2   More equitable humanitarian financing
