Global Humanitarian Assistance report 2014

This report uses the latest data to present the most comprehensive assessment of the international financing at work in humanitarian situations. Chapter 6 captures the proportion of humanitarian assistance spent on disaster prevention and preparedness, observing a slight shift from post-disaster reconstruction to pre-disaster programming in the aftermath of the 2010 mega-disasters.

The overall report answers questions about the way that the world finances response to crisis and vulnerability: how much humanitarian assistance is there? Is it enough? Who provides it? Where does it go? How does it get there? It also highlights other resources that are important to people in crises, such as domestic government spending, remittances, foreign direct investment, official development assistance, and risk and climate financing.
