Humanitarian Financing

OCHA aims to mobilize and engage the full range of financing instruments, mechanisms and partners to ensure that growing humanitarian needs are met, humanitarian leadership and coordination mechanisms are promoted at the country level, and the large array of global humanitarian financing mechanisms are complementary among themselves and coherent with development funding.
OCHA works with humanitarian partners around the world to identify the most critical humanitarian needs, plan responses and determine the budgets needed to address them.
At the country level, OCHA helps partners to build common strategies and implementation plans and to appeal for funds as a group. This ensures that resource mobilization and financing are handled collectively and are based on a thorough needs evaluation, making aid more effective, efficient and predictable. At a global level, this work culminates in the Global Humanitarian Overview. OCHA’s financial-tracking tools and services – including the Financial Tracking Service (FTS) – help to manage humanitarian donations. FTS provides information to support OCHA's advocacy, policy-making and humanitarian financing work, and it helps improve strategic and operational decision-making by enabling effective field coordination.
OCHA also ensures more responsive, predictable and strategic humanitarian financing through its leadership of the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) and Country-Based Pooled Funds (CBPFs) for the humanitarian system. OCHA helps drive humanitarian action by encouraging new, more effective funding and financing mechanisms that respond to and reflect the changing nature of humanitarian crises.
