TRACKING COVID-19 FUNDING

TRACKING GLOBAL HUMANITARIAN AND DEVELOPMENT FUNDING TO MEET CRISIS NEEDS

The global impact of covid-19 has required a concerted and coordinated approach by the international community to finance the response, and the needs of low- and middle-income countries. 

During the first year of the crisis, the Centre for Disaster Protection brought together information on development and humanitarian funding for covid-19 response. The aims of this work were to:

1. Show what is working well and what is not: where there are gaps in financial flows relative to need.

2. Highlight what needs to change for the world to have an international crisis financing system that works for the poorest countries. 

This page provides information on our work tracking global multilateral aid flows. For many countries, reallocating funding from existing budget plans is an important part of how they are fund their response to covid-19. We are tracking this for selected countries through a longer-run research project.
