We work to provide access to reliable, transparent and understandable information so that we can all work to ensure better outcomes for people affected by humanitarian crises. Global Humanitarian Assistance is a Development Initiatives programme, funded by the governments of Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom Clarity Counts MAPPING FINANCIAL FLOWS We work in detail to highlight relationships between and within financial flows, mapping out who spends what, and where, enabling donors, NGOs, governments and local communities to better respond to people in humanitarian need. PROVIDING ACCESS TO NO-SPIN DATA & INFO We provide no-spin analysis on financial flows, emphasising simplicity and clarity at all times, and work hard to make this complex world accessible. We help researchers, students and journalists to use and apply raw data, contributing to evidence-based policy making. ENCOURAGING DEBATE We build a broad network for transparency in humanitarian aid flows. We work hard to agree numbers and definitions so we can discuss the issues – not argue about the figures themselves. PROVIDING PERSPECTIVE BEYOND CRISIS Our work on humanitarian assistance is in the wider context of a global commitment to poverty reduction and interconnects with global, regional and national concerns such as climate change, financial crises, conflict and chronic poverty.
