Sources and method
- Funding: OCHA Financial Tracking Service (CC BY-IGO), in US dollars, funded and committed, excluding mere pledges. The source relies on what donors and organisations report: the data change even years later, and the current year is partial.
- Requirements and coverage: requirements are those of the UN response plans and appeals for the country alone, in their latest version; coverage is the funded portion. If a plan is reduced for lack of funds, coverage can rise without any additional money arriving. A drop in requirements does not mean that needs have decreased.
- Country total: also includes funds outside the plan, for example the bilateral aid of some governments.
- Recipients and donors: we count only flows attributed in full to that country and that year, that is, those OCHA adds into the total; flows spread across several countries or years are left out. The recipient is whoever receives the first payment: funds from UN agencies and pooled funds often reach NGOs in a second step, which is not visible here. The NGO share is therefore higher than shown. When flows without a single recipient exceed 5% of a year's total, we flag this below the table.
- Names: we report the names used by OCHA and link them to the profile or family where the match is certain. "Confidential" entries are organisations that OCHA does not name. We combine the various offices of the US government into a single row.
- What we do not say: these data show how much money is recorded and where it goes, not how well it was spent nor who is right in a conflict. The context at the top of the page is limited to what the cited sources say.
