Underfunded Crisis Index: 2024 Update1 min read

Humanitarian Funding Forecast is updating its Underfunded Crisis Index.

The Underfunded Crisis Index is a way to measure and compare the underfunding of humanitarian crises. It can help us to understand which crises are underfunded compared to how much funding they require to meet needs, and therefore help to advocate for more funding to the often neglected crises.

Based on this story from 2021, the index aims to measure which recurring humanitarian crises are consistently underfunded.

The index will not tell you about funding today, or even in the last year or two. It will look at contexts over the past five years, giving us a perspective on contexts that have been consistently underfunded over time.
