NGOs
We are looking at the humanitarian income and expenditure of NGOs, based on funding from both 'official' (government) and voluntary sources.
ERF review 2007
In January 2007 Development Initiatives prepared this review of Emergency Response Funds (ERFs) on behalf of UN OCHA. Working with NGOs both at international and national level, we worked in the five case study countries (Angola, DRC, Indonesia, Liberia and Somalia) to answer some key questions. How do field-based funding mechanisms add value to humanitarian response? What experience do NGOs have of the timeliness and flexibility of these funds? Are reporting requirements appropriate? What field-based flexible funding mechanisms would make the optimum contribution to the humanitarian response capacity?
Four in every ten euros of humanitarian assistance spent by NGOs!
February 2009 - The GHA special focus report on Public support for humanitarian crises reveals that four in every ten euros of humanitarian assistance is spent by NGOs. Furthermore, the report reveals taht some of the largest NGOs make a more significant contribution than many governments – MSF has a voluntary income larger than all but the US and the UK. Caritas humanitarian expenditure is roughly the same as Sweden’s bilateral humanitarian assistance.
