Donors have contributed US$274 million to the UN regional flash appeal for Libya, meeting 82.1% of the US$333 million (revised) requirement. (As highlighted in our first three updates, the initial appeal requirement was for US$160.3 million, revised upwards to US$407.8 million and now stands at US$333 million). Latest information published by UN OCHA Financial Tracking Service (FTS) shows that in all, just under US$453 million has been provided in response to the emergency this year.
The tables below show (1) donors to the appeal (2) all humanitarian funding (i.e. appeal plus other contributions) reported by donors in response to the Libya emergency this year. The data is an extract from UN OCHA FTS and can be accessed in this Google Docs file.
Both the GHA and UN OCHA teams are happy to help with any data enquiries.
Sam Gardner (@samwgardner) says:
The appeal was funded for more than 80 %. Compared to e.g.the Niger CAP, this is very well funded.
In line with the GHD-principles, the ranking is just a ranking: some donors might have chosen to fund flexible funds like CERF or given unearmarked to WFP, but others might have allocated their funding to critically underfunded crises.
It is only with hindsight that it can be judged whether the funding level was right. This is why the funding data should be available in real time, so countries can allocate extra funding when necessary. As this crisis was well funded, All donors were, with hindsight, probably right to do what they did. However, the analysis of the funding per theme shows some important gaps in some sectors.
