The Humanitarian Response Index 2007

Abstract

Humanitarian interventions targeting persons affected by humanitarian emergencies and natural disasters around the globe are perceived to be falling far short of existing humanitarian needs and are often not guided by acknowledged principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality, and independence. Donor policy and decision making have been criticised for being compromised by competing and sometimes inconsistent domestic and foreign policy considerations, resulting in funding allocations that are inequitable, unpredictable, and untimely in responding to crises. Earmarking and tied aid, short funding cycles, unrequited pledges, and late funding have all played a role in further reducing the effectiveness of humanitarian action. 2 These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
