Humanitarian needs – inter-agency appeals, funding and visibility Inter-agency appeal analysis; public awareness

In 2015, appeal funding requirements increased by 7 per cent compared with 2014. There were four level-three (L3) emergencies: Central African Republic (CAR, which ceased to be an L3 on 13 May 2015), Iraq, South Sudan and Syria. A record number of inter-agency appeals surpassed the billion-dollar mark (South Sudan, Sudan, the Syria Regional Refugee Response Plan, the Syria Humanitarian Assistance Response Plan and Yemen), and the majority of funding requested and provided went to these mega-crises. In 2015, South Sudan, the Syria response plans and Ukraine accounted for approximately 56 per cent of funding received. Globally, the average amount of funding received per person decreased from $182 to $96.
