Joint NGO Statement – Global Humanitarian Overview 2025

Subject / Humanitarian /
GHO
Description

This statement is delivered on behalf of 109 NGOs, including humanitarian organizations with operations in countries covered by the GHO.

We are witnessing unspeakable human suffering due to the proliferation of conflicts lacking political solutions and the normalization of IHL violations. Indiscriminate attacks on civilians and humanitarian workers, the bombing of schools and hospitals, and the use of starvation and sexual violence as methods of warfare are devastating communities worldwide. Climate shocks, economic fragility, and protracted conflict are exacerbating humanitarian needs, leading to unprecedented levels of displacement and an escalating global hunger crisis.

Boundary-setting and narrower definitions of people in need are resulting in a highly prioritized 2025 GHO. With limited complementarity with development and other actors, it is unclear who will target those left behind. Despite exceptional prioritization efforts, humanitarian funding lags behind and ODA cuts impact both humanitarian action and development gains.

We must turn the tide together in 2025.

We urge donors to fully fund the 2025 GHO and to provide quality funding as early as possible in the year to enable flexible, timely, and principled humanitarian action.

The catastrophic effects of IHL violations – including on children, women, and people living with disabilities – urgently require donors’ re-commitment to the traditionally underfunded sectors of gender and GBV, education and child protection in emergencies, and the stepping up of funding for hunger and forced displacement.

We call for a substantial increase in the volume and quality of funding to local and national actors, including Women’s organizations, whose essential leadership in humanitarian response must be recognized. This should be rooted in accountability to – and meaningful participation of – affected people.

All stakeholders must redouble efforts to prevent and resolve conflict, and we urge humanitarian, development, peace and climate actors to work together to make nexus programming a reality and foster resilience. This requires increased ODA directed to fragile settings.

Nothing will reduce humanitarian needs unless civilians are protected. The 75th anniversary of the Geneva Conventions is also a year of unconscionable IHL violations. We urge parties to conflicts to abide by their obligations, and we call on governments to leverage their influence and ensure that the consistent application of IHL is a top priority.

A Humanitarian Localisation Baseline for Ukraine – Progress Report 2024

Subject / Localization / Humanitarian /
Humanitarian Localisation Report
Description

This report outlines the findings from the second phase of a localisation assessment initiative in Ukraine. It evaluates progress in localisation against the 2023 Humanitarian Localisation Baseline for Ukraine. Similar to the baseline, this progress review adapted and applied the localisation measurement framework and tools, initially developed by HAG and the Pacific Islands Association of Non-Governmental Organisations (PIANGO), as a standard method for assessing localisation progress at both national and regional levels. The second phase of research was carried out by the NGO Resource Center (NGORC), with support from InfoSapiens and the Humanitarian Advisory Group (HAG), and was financially backed by the International Council of Voluntary Agencies (ICVA), Helvetas, and NGORC’s principled donors (via shared overheads).
