About this book

Over 350 million people are affected each year by disaster and conflict. The international community is often unable to respond effectively to these crises. This report provides an independent examination of donor performance with the aim of improving the effectiveness of aid, and promoting greater accountability of donors.

Reviews

'The HRI is an enormously innovative tool for preparing for a world of greater humanitarian shock and urgent need. We need to put humanitarian response on a greatly scaled-up basis. The HRI will bring us much closer to this goal. The well-being and even survival of millions are at stake.' - Jeffrey D. Sachs, Director of The Earth Institute, Columbia University
