In 2023, funding for humanitarian assistance and protection declined by 20 percent, despite new major crises and the continuation of long-standing conflicts. And there are expectations that cuts will only continue into 2025. Many in the humanitarian sector are referring to this as a catastrophic ‘financial cliff’ that will have major implications for agencies and the communities that they serve.
In this podcast episode, we delve into this ‘financial cliff’, asking experts how we measure and understand resource gaps in the humanitarian sector. We also ask whether this really is an unprecedented moment, looking into the data.
