Background Documents - Montreux Retreat on the Consolidated Appeal Process and Humanitarian Financing Mechanisms
Description

Two background documents from the 2010 Montreux Retreat on the Consolidated Appeal Process and Humanitarian Financing Mechanisms. The document “Early Recovery in Humanitarian Appeals” analyses how early recovery activities are financed through humanitarian appeals, focusing primarily on Consolidated Appeals (CAPs), so that donors and aid agencies can better understand what is being financed and why. The document “CAPs over the Years – A Brief Retrospective on Ten Years of Montreux Retreats” reviews how the joint planning and financing encompassed by the CAP have evolved, and how the humanitarian system has been able to respond to donors’ needs.
