The Future of Humanitarian Financing

Current reform efforts aim to increase the effectiveness of humanitarian aid work, including by making it more predictable, coherent and better allocated according to need. The way in which humanitarian financing is organised can help to support delivery of these objectives, creating incentives for more collaborative behaviour, ensuring that money is spent where, when and on what it is most needed.  The present system of international humanitarian financing is not delivering. How can we improve it? 

To address this issue the GHD Initiative hosted a joint meeting with the IASC and other interested groups in Geneva on the 20^th July 2007.  The agenda and concept paper for that meeting are available here .

The background paper to this meeting can be found here  and the following will be provided here once they have been completed
