Payments to the organisation reported by the aid agencies of 17 countries (USAID, FCDO, BMZ, Sida and others) in their own IATI data, converted to euros at the year's average rate. They include funds passed on to local partners. Not all donors name the recipient of their payments, so figures may be incomplete; EU funds are in their own section.
Humanitarian funding received
Main donors in the last 5 years
| Donor | USD | % |
|---|---|---|
| Sheikh Abdullah Al-Nouri Charity Society | $609,744 | 100% |
Humanitarian funds (paid or committed) recorded by OCHA in the Financial Tracking Service, by year, with the donor that provided them: governments, UN agencies, pooled funds, foundations and other NGOs. They cover humanitarian aid only, not all of the organisation's work, and depend on what donors and organisations report to OCHA.
Spending on declared projects (IATI)
Only the projects the organisation publishes on IATI: usually a fraction of its total spending (median 14% in our checks).
Data to be checked. Some figures on this page show inconsistencies, almost always due to filing or transcription errors in the source:
- The founding year given by some sources is inconsistent with the official registration: we show “active since at least”.
