Global Humanitarian Overview 2019
13 December 2018We are witnessing extremely high levels of humanitarian need even as global wealth is higher than ever before. This year’s Global Humanitarian Overview (GHO) therefore provides, for the first time, an analysis not just of how many people need humanitarian assistance, but a clearer understanding of why.
The humanitarian response plans outlined in this year’s GHO are the result of in-depth, country-by-country analysis of the most comprehensive data available. Funding requirements are projected to be comparable to last year. While some crises have escalated, this year we also have better prioritization of the most vulnerable and severely affected people, and a stronger coordination with development partners to ensure a focused humanitarian response.
Despite the challenges, the humanitarian system is more effective and impactful than it has ever been. We are better at identifying different groups’ specific needs in crises and quicker to respond when disasters strike. Response plans are more inclusive, comprehensive, innovative and prioritized. We have a better picture of needs and vulnerabilities. And we have dedicated networks in more than 20 countries to protect people from sexual exploitation and abuse. All of these factors allow us to design effective responses that save lives and protect livelihoods.
