DI - Development Initiatives

Published purpose

The project aims to provide data-driven evidence through Development Initiatives to inform decisions and better advise how resources could be allocated and used more effectively to meet the needs of those vulnerable to and affected by crises. Development Initiative’s Global Humanitarian Assistance (GHA) Programme for 2022 to 2024 seeks to analyze, promote, and improve access, availability, and use of open data on humanitarian and broader crisis response. Project activities include: (1) generating and sharing data analysis and evidence describing and explaining key trends on needs and financing in crisis contexts; (2) engaging in reforming humanitarian financing through consolidated recommendations; (3) Informing and shaping efforts to deliver coherent, coordinated and accountable programming and financing to address risk, vulnerability and crisis through data analysis; and (4) improving the understanding, access, availability, and use of open data on humanitarian needs and crisis financing through technical guidance and awareness-raising activities such as engaging in key fora.
