Study report “Evidence-based decision-making for funding allocations”, 2015

01/09/2015

Linking evidence-based information to decision-making is crucial in humanitarian aid to ensure the effective and efficient use of limited resources. This is even more important due to the growing gap between the amount of funding being requested for humanitarian aid and the finances available. Humanitarian donors are therefore committed to ensuring that their funding decisions are based on needs. This study, funded by the European Commission (DG ECHO), was carried out in connection with the Good Humanitarian Donorship (GHD) work stream co-led by Canada and ECHO entitled "Reporting, Information and Accountability Requirements".
