This document reflects recommendations made by IASC Results Group 5 on Humanitarian Financing (co-chaired by OCHA and ICVA), with inputs from the IASC Emergency Directors Group (EDG), for collective messages to donors on how they can better support the pandemic response and ongoing humanitarian operations, especially in terms of flexible funding. These key messages reflect IASC commitments and are aligned with Grand Bargain principles aimed at putting assistance into the hands of people in need and to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of humanitarian action.
The IASC Humanitarian Financing Task Team has completed half of the activities on the 2014-2015 work plan and progress of the remaining activities is on track. The main outputs of the Task Team are available here:- "Future Humanitarian Financing: Looking Beyond the Crisis"- "NGO Challenges in Accessing Country-Based Pooled Funds: Summary of Findings"
