Cuts in international humanitarian funding by many of the top government donors in 2024 delivered the biggest drop ever recorded. With further reductions announced for 2025, the public funding available for humanitarian action could contract by between 34% and 45% by the end of the year compared to 2023 levels. Reforms to increase effectiveness, such as funding to local and national actors and anticipatory action, have also seen stagnation and reversal – a trend that upcoming cuts may serve to accelerate if left unchecked. Countries experiencing protracted crisis are more vulnerable than ever; humanitarian assistance has overtaken development assistance as their dominant source of external concessional support, and the average protracted crisis pays double the amount in debt payments compared to a decade ago. This leaves serious questions about how they can find sustainable pathways out of crisis. A ‘humanitarian reset' announced by the United Nations’ Emergency Relief Coordinator reflects a sector facing up to this new and unprecedented challenge." _As Alice Obrecht says 'The sector is facing real challenges, and the reasons it arrived here is to do with more than just money - this is not something that will be solved with a toolkit. The future of humanitarian action needs real vision, and real guts to see through that vision.'_ Thank you to our report authors: Mike Pearson, Fran Girling-Morris and Suzanna Nelson-Pollard and contributors Alice Obrecht, Niklas Rieger and Dan W. We are also deeply grateful for the support of the report’s funders and their sustained commitment to independent data and evidence for the humanitarian sector: Canada’s International Development – Global Affairs Canada | Affaires mondiales Canada , Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, and the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office

🤔 Are we ready to be candid about the #humanitarian future we really want? As a sector, humanitarians have always struggled with prioritisation, with limited resources compared to the severity of the need. The current humanitarian thinking appears to be lacking clarity about prioritisation: about how to address it, about what is – and isn't – being prioritised, and why. Diverse priorities – de facto and stated – are pulling in different directions. Cuts are being made at breakneck speed and pursued largely behind closed doors. It’s time for a bit of clear thinking and honest talking about prioritisation. Read our latest commentary by Alice Obrecht and Sophia Swithern: https://alnap.org/commentary-multimedia/index/our-priorities-reveal-the-humanitarian-future-we-really-want-are-we-ready-to-be-honest-about-them/ #withlearningcomeschange
