Humanitarian assistance in 2016

In 2016, funding requirements increased, putting even more strain on humanitarian actors. Notwithstanding current crises, 2016 was a record year for funding requirements ($19.7 billion) and the number of people targeted (95.4 million). The level of overall contributions for humanitarian assistance decreased from 2015. However, funding for inter-agency appeals increased in 2016, which in turn decreased the funding gap to 40 per cent. It is still difficult to gauge the impact of international humanitarian assistance in relation to overall need. Assistance is often measured in terms of funding, but this is not an accurate proxy for humanitarian need.
