Humanitarian funding received
Main donors in the last 5 years
| Donor | USD | % |
|---|---|---|
| Qatar Fund for Development | $1.6M | 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”.
