Humanitarian needs – sector funding

Overall, sector funding in 2017 saw similar patterns to 2016, with food, health and multi-sector programming remaining the three largest sectors by funding requested and received. Total funding received for all sectors increased by 13 per cent. Overall, coordination and support services was the most well-funded sector at 84 per cent, while mine action recorded the largest increase from the previous year, from only 17 per cent funded in 2016 to 80 per cent funded in 2017. The increase in multi-sector activities and funding created a challenge in terms of understanding funding patterns, since many sectors tap into this category for funding, and those funds are no longer disaggregated.
