This study contributes to the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) humanitarian financing priorities of improving “aid effectiveness through more effective humanitarian- development funding flows and mechanisms”. It has two goals: to document the extent to which predictable, multi-year flexible financing is available at the programme level; and to understand the extent to which funding matches Collective Outcomes or the financial requirements of interoperable humanitarian and development plans.

This briefing paper examines the current risk landscape in humanitarian aid.

The NGO and Humanitarian Reforms Project presents a document regarding the allocations of pooled funds, particularly in regards to the gap that exists between the guidelines governing the process and the practices developed in the provinces. This document draws lessons from previous allocations and suggests possible solutions for future ones.

The work plan of the IASC Humanitarian Financing Task Team (HFTT) focuses on improving the availability of adequate and accessible funding for operational aid agencies. To this end, in 2014 OCHA and ICVA led a mapping of NGO challenges to accessing country-based pooled funds (CBPFs), which contributed to the development of new Global Guidelines for CBPFs issued by OCHA in February 2015 following an extensive consultation process.
