What does FTS allow you to do? Monitor funding status of any appeal: per agency, per sector/cluster, per priority, location, and project – thus highlighting funding gaps. Monitor humanitarian funding outside the appeal, identify donors and recipient organizations for activities not included in the appeal. Donor profiles – quick overviews of humanitarian funding by any given donor to a specific country or globally. Analyze funding trends – global trends by donor, sector, emergency or recipient agency.
