High-Level Panel on Humanitarian Financing - TORs (12 Mar 2015)

The UN Secretary-General has decided to convene a High-Level Panel that will explore ways to address the gap between growing humanitarian needs and the resources available to meet those needs. This is an issue which requires a global and collective response from the international community. The Panel is expected to produce recommendations based around 3 questions:

 1)      How can more be raised from traditional donors and through innovative funding mechanisms to address the growing gap?

2)      How can we increase the predictability of funding, e.g. through insurance and better planning?

3)      How can the humanitarian system make the best use of the resources available?
