The UN has requested $417 million for humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan in 2015, but has received only $281 million so far (49% funded). The US is the largest donor, contributing $93 million. Pooled funds like the CERF and CHF have allocated $32.7 million. Most funding ($200.6 million) is channeled through UN agencies, with health receiving the largest share at $71.3 million. Overall humanitarian funding to Afghanistan has declined from $894 million in 2011 to $281 million so far in 2015.
According to a UN humanitarian funding analysis:
1) Donors committed $155.5 million to Nigeria in 2015, though the UN appeal was only 58% funded at $57.9 million. The 2016 appeal requests $248 million but has so far received only $0.7 million.
2) The largest donor to Nigeria's humanitarian response in 2015 was the US, contributing $71 million, followed by the EU at $24.9 million.
3) Funding has been directed mostly to the health and protection sectors, but over half of funds in 2015 had no specified sector.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reports that donors have committed $35.7 million in humanitarian assistance to Mauritania in 2015 to address acute malnutrition. The Strategic Response Plan for Mauritania requests $95 million but is currently only 34% funded. The European Union's Humanitarian Aid department has contributed the most at $13.2 million. Nutrition and food security projects in Mauritania's Hodh El Chargui region have received $1.2 million out of $16.6 million total for such projects nationwide.
Donors have committed $281.4 million in humanitarian funding to Pakistan in 2015, but no funding has yet been reported in response to the recent earthquake. The UN appealed for $433.8 million for Pakistan in 2015 but has received only $187.2 million so far. Disaster risk reduction efforts in Pakistan have increased since 2005 but still face funding constraints.
This document discusses the growth and impact of NGOs in Kenya. It notes that since 1990, over 8,500 organizations have registered as NGOs in Kenya. NGOs contribute over 80 billion Kenyan shillings annually to the economy and employ over 200,000 people. However, accurate data on NGO funding and activities is still limited due to low compliance with reporting requirements. The document examines trends in NGO funding sources, expenditures, collaborations, and training to provide insight into the scale and focus of the NGO sector in Kenya.
Akwa Ibom State Health Profile - NigeriaHFG Project
Akwa Ibom State has a population of over 5 million people from various ethnic groups including Ibibio, Annang, and Oron. The state's main occupations are farming, fishing, and public service. Key health issues include a tuberculosis prevalence of over 13,000 people and an HIV prevalence of 10.8% according to the 2017 Akwa Ibom State AIDS Indicator Survey. The USAID/HFG Project worked to mobilize domestic funding for HIV/AIDS activities in Akwa Ibom State, increasing funding from 100 million naira in 2017 to 120 million naira in 2018. Through capacity building and multi-sectoral collaboration, the project established a Domestic Resource Mobilization
Investing in key nutrition interventions between 2016-2025 could save millions of lives but requires an additional $70 billion in funding. Under a "business as usual" scenario, this leaves a $56 billion funding gap. However, with coordinated global action called "Global Solidarity", this gap could be closed through increased government spending on nutrition, fulfillment of donor commitments, and engagement of private sector partners. This scenario would achieve global nutrition targets and require annual investments to rise nearly four-fold to $13.5 billion by 2025 through contributions from all sources.

This document discusses strategies for optimizing HIV/AIDS investments and fast-tracking the global AIDS response. It emphasizes focusing investments where they will have the greatest impact, such as prioritizing the regions and populations with the highest disease burdens. Addressing costs and improving efficiencies in service delivery can help scale up treatment and prevention services. Strategic, evidence-based allocation of resources is key to making progress toward global goals like 90-90-90 targets.
The document discusses health financing in India. It provides information on what constitutes a health system and the functions of health financing mechanisms. The main sources of health financing in India are public funds (20.3% of total funds), private funds like household expenditures (72% of funds), and external support (2.3% of funds). Health expenditure in India is 4.8% of GDP, lower than many other countries. Out-of-pocket expenditures constitute a large portion of private health spending. The majority of public health funds are spent on salaries, while hospitalization and medication costs burden households.
Health financing refers to securing funds to pay for healthcare goods and services. Different countries have different health financing schemes, such as private payment, insurance, or government funding. The Philippines relies mainly on private and out-of-pocket payments, while the US and UK/Canada use private insurance/managed care and government funding respectively. Health expenditures in the Philippines have steadily increased over the past decade but remain below the WHO recommended 5% of GNP.
The document summarizes findings from 4 rounds of National Health Accounts conducted in Ethiopia between 1995-2008. Key findings include:
- Total health expenditure increased from Birr 1.4 billion (1995/96) to Birr 11.1 billion (2007/08), with per capita expenditure more than doubling from Birr 25 (1995/96) to Birr 150 (2007/08).
- In 2007/08, HIV/AIDS accounted for 20% of health spending, reproductive health 13%, child health 10%, malaria 5%, and tuberculosis 4%.
- Spending on priority areas like HIV/AIDS, reproductive health and child health all increased between rounds, however still fell short of international benchmarks.
The document provides information on country allocations from the Global Fund for 2014-2017:
- Total funding available is $16 billion, a 20% increase over previous levels, with an average of $3.9 billion per year.
- Most countries will receive more funding than previous periods, though some saw peaks in 2013. Grants will have flexible implementation periods determined through country dialogue.
- A methodology is described using disease burden, income, and other factors to determine country bands and initial allocations, which are then adjusted based on qualitative factors like performance, impact, and absorptive capacity.
This document summarizes the results of an opinion poll conducted by Ipsos in Kenya regarding awareness and support for the country's constitutional requirement that women comprise at least one-third of elected bodies. The poll was conducted from March 28 to April 7, 2015 among 1,964 Kenyan adults through in-person interviews. It finds that 39% of respondents were aware of the one-third gender rule, though awareness was higher among women and supporters of specific political parties. Among those aware, 52% thought the requirement would not be met by the August 2015 deadline but most felt the rule would improve politics and governance.

1) The document discusses a study on how foreign aid has helped the development of St. Lucia from 2003 to present. It seeks to answer questions about which countries/organizations provide aid, which sectors receive the most aid, and how aid has contributed to economic and social development.
2) Methods used in the study include interviews with government officials and documentary research of project reports and budgets. The data shows that the EU is the largest donor but estimated aid amounts are often much higher than actual receipts.
3) Charts show actual receipts are consistently lower than estimates, averaging only 22% of estimated amounts. The health and education sectors received the most foreign aid based on project funding data.
The document discusses mapping aid to Uganda's budget in real time using open data standards. It describes how aid data was previously collected from donors through surveys, which found double the amount of aid compared to what the Ugandan government knew. The data was then manually mapped to Uganda's budget categories over many months. The document advocates for using the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) open data standard to automatically map aid to recipient country budgets in real time, which would help with accountability, coordination, and planning of aid efforts. Several organizations are working on pilot projects to publish and visualize aid data in accordance with the IATI standard.
The UN's regular budget is nearly $2 billion per year, paid by member states. The entire UN system spends $15 billion annually, half from voluntary contributions. The top 10 contributing countries pay over 75% of the budget. The UN improves health worldwide through organizations like WHO and UNICEF. It also promotes education, human rights, democracy, and humanitarian aid through various programs. The UN makes the world a better place through these efforts.
Foreign aid can contribute to economic growth by increasing investment, imports of capital goods, and human capital development. However, aid can also fuel conflict by being stolen or appropriated by governments and militias to support warring factions. Pakistan is cited as an example - despite receiving over $100 billion in aid over decades, it has not experienced reduced conflict or improved development outcomes. The effectiveness of aid depends on factors like governance and policies in the receiving country.
The Health Sector Financing Reform/Health Finance and Governance Project aimed to improve health in Ethiopia by expanding access to healthcare. Over its 5-year period, the project worked with the Government of Ethiopia to implement health financing reforms. These reforms included allowing health facilities to retain and utilize the fees they collect, establishing community-based health insurance, and creating the Ethiopian Health Insurance Agency to oversee the transition to a social health insurance system. The project collaborated with multiple levels of government and other partners to support these reforms and strengthen Ethiopia's health system financing.

The document summarizes two case studies about addressing immunization financing challenges. In Uganda, legislation was passed after legislators organized exchanges and formed an immunization forum. This led to increased budgets and health worker hiring. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, monitoring budgets revealed cash hoarding. A parliamentary forum advocated for increased budgets, which rose with support from organizations. Both cases show the importance of legislation, advocacy, and oversight for sustainable immunization financing.

- In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 Sustainable Development Goals to improve prosperity and sustainability by 2030 through initiatives targeting issues like poverty, hunger, health, education, water and sanitation.
- Foreign aid involves the transfer of resources like money, food, healthcare and education from wealthier to poorer nations. Australia provides about $4 billion annually in foreign aid, with over 70% going to countries in the Asia-Pacific region focused on issues like health, education, economic development and governance.
The document summarizes immunization financing efforts in Armenia. It discusses how the government spending on immunization has increased substantially over time, rising from $2 per child in 2006 to $84 in 2014. Armenia also scores highly among peer countries in terms of government spending per child. The document outlines legislation supporting immunization and notes the country is drafting a new public health law. It also describes how a financing program has helped analyze Armenia's immunization budget flows and expenditures.
How can health accounts inform health sector investments? Lessons from countr...HFG Project
Countries must have a firm grasp on their health financing landscape in order to ensure sufficient and effective use of resources. Health Accounts—an internationally standardized methodology that allows a country to understand the source, magnitude, and flow of funds through its health sector—provide a wealth of information on past spending. When combined with macroeconomic, health utilization, and health indicator data, Health Accounts provide powerful insights for health financing policy.
USAID’s Health Finance and Governance (HFG) project supports countries to institutionalize their Health Accounts so that they are produced regularly and efficiently, and are a useful tool for policymakers. In this technical briefing webinar, held June 29, 2016, HFG experts used country examples to demonstrate how Health Accounts have been (and can be) used to inform national health financing decisions. The experts also provided perspectives on the future of Health Accounts.
Health Financing for Community Health Systems HeydtCORE Group
The document discusses financing for community health programs. It summarizes a 2015 report that found a 10:1 return on investment from funding community health workers. The report defined four pillars of the investment case for funding CHWs: achieving global health objectives; long-term economic returns; short-term cost savings; and benefits to society. Current CH funding is estimated to be $0.7 billion annually in sub-Saharan Africa, below the estimated need of $1.1 billion. The document examines financing models for CH programs in Ethiopia, Zambia, Brazil, and Bangladesh.
This document provides an overview of global and institutional funding trends. Regarding global trends, it notes that over $21 trillion has been committed to combating COVID-19. Future focus may shift to pandemic preparedness, health systems strengthening, and vaccine manufacturing. Major institutional donors like USAID, the EU, SIDA, and NORAD are focusing on issues like gender equality, climate change, health, and digital transformation in developing countries. Upcoming funding opportunities are also highlighted.
US Assistance for International Responses to Zika UWI_Markcomm
The document discusses U.S. funding to address the Zika virus internationally. It notes that as of September 2015, $2.32 billion in unobligated funds remained from previous Ebola funding allocations. In February 2016, the U.S. requested an additional $1.86 billion for the Zika response, to be allocated across agencies such as CDC, NIH, USAID, and HHS. Key issues discussed include how to reallocate leftover Ebola funds, efficiently distribute new Zika funds across countries and between bilateral and multilateral aid, and find the proper balance between preparedness, health systems strengthening and disease response, and research.
Institutional funding opportunities & strategies during Covid-19MzN International
This webinar discusses funding opportunities and strategies for non-profits during the COVID-19 pandemic. Major donors like DFID, the EU, and Germany are repurposing existing funds towards health, humanitarian aid, and economic recovery. New funding is focused on health systems, vulnerable groups, and gender equality. The World Bank and UN have increased funding and procurement. Foundations are also increasingly supporting research and response. Non-profits should focus proposals on health, vulnerable groups, and relationships with partners. Opportunities also exist through UN and USAID COVID-19 response programs.
The document discusses issues related to international aid from developed to developing countries. It outlines what developing countries want from aid, including increasing total amounts, untying aid from conditions, channeling more through multilateral agencies, making it more automatic, and giving developing countries more control over spending. The document also provides data on historical aid amounts from major donor countries and to key recipients like Iraq. It examines factors that influence how effective aid is, such as colonial relationships, allocation of funds, and disruption due to conflict.
Panel 4 Anton Kerr Aids Alliance, Financing The Ihp Intent, Commitments, Ex...ihp
The document discusses the funding needs to achieve health-related Millennium Development Goals. It estimates that $24-36 billion per year is needed to increase health spending in low-income countries to $40 per person annually. This would require a small percentage of GDP from developed countries. Lessons from AIDS funding show the importance of long-term commitments from both international donors and national governments. For health systems to be strengthened sustainably, the International Health Partnership must outline long-term foreign assistance through at least 2021 to convince countries to invest in expanding health workforces. Sustainable health financing will require commitments from donors and governments to meet funding targets and accept international responsibility for ensuring health resources.
The document is a staff report from the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations regarding its review of U.S. State Department grants to OneVoice. The report finds that OneVoice Israel fully complied with the terms of the grants, but that the State Department failed to adequately guard against the risk of OneVoice using grant funds and resources for political purposes after the grant period ended. Specifically, the report concludes that within days of the grant ending, OneVoice deployed infrastructure and resources built with grant money to support the anti-Netanyahu political group V15, though no direct political spending was found during the grant period. The State Department is criticized for not placing limitations on post-grant use of resources despite OneVoice's history of political
Ethiopia Health Sector Financing Reform/HFG: End-of-Project ReportHFG Project
The HSFR/HFG project worked with the Government of Ethiopia from 2013-2018 to improve Ethiopia's health care financing system and expand access to health services. Key achievements included increasing the proportion of health facilities managing funds and services through boards representing communities, expanding revenue retention at health centers and hospitals, and piloting community-based health insurance. The project aimed to increase utilization of primary health services, enroll more people in insurance, and reduce out-of-pocket costs through technical support across Ethiopia's decentralized health system. Challenges remained in expanding reforms and improving health indicators, but the project strengthened sustainability by building local capacity and engaging stakeholders.
This document provides an overview of the Office of Financial Resources' (OFR) activities and contributions to the Ebola response efforts in fiscal year 2015. It details how OFR staff processed over 800 emergency requests, obligated over $428 million in Ebola-related grants, and deployed over 50 staff domestically and internationally to help manage financial resources and support for the Ebola response. Key accomplishments included quickly purchasing personal protective equipment, issuing supplemental funding opportunities, and establishing financial tracking systems in West Africa.
Universal coverage of essential health services in sub Saharan Africa: projec...HFG Project
The first decade of the new millennium brought high-level advocacy to mobilize more funding for health coupled with unprecedented economic growth in some African countries. Given the region’s healthy economic outlook, will countries have adequate domestic resources for basic health services by 2020? USAID’s Health Finance and Governance project looked into sub-Saharan Africa’s health financing outlook by projecting domestic health spending per capita to 2020 and comparing it to an internationally-accepted target ($60 per capita) for universal coverage of a package of essential health services. The analysis modeled two assumptions: 1) domestic health spending continuing to increase in line with current economic growth and 2) countries moving aggressively towards fulfilling their Abuja commitment (15% of the government expenditure). Under the economic growth assumption alone, the projections indicate that a little over half of the countries will be spending over USD 60 per capita by 2020. In this presentation, Dr. Carlos Avila discussed the results of the analysis and reaffirmed the need for complementary actions to improve equity and efficiency in addition to resource mobilization.

1. CRISIS BRIEFING: 12 OCTOBER 2015
Humanitarian funding analysis: Afghanistan, Kunduz
1. Key points
According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA)’s Financial
Tracking Service (FTS), donors have committed/contributed US$281 million of
humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan so far in 2015.
The UN-coordinated emergency response plan for Afghanistan requests US$417 million
from donors. According to the FTS, the appeal is currently 49% funded. A further US$78
million has been contributed outside of the appeal to Afghanistan.
The United States (US) is the largest donor in 2015, having contributed US$93 million so
far, more than 33% of total funding to date.
So far in 2015, Afghanistan has been allocated US$7.9 million by the Central Emergency
Response Fund (CERF), making it the 18thlargest recipient this year.
In 2015 so far, US$24.7 million has been allocated from the Common Humanitarian Fund
in Afghanistan.
2. Recent humanitarian funding to Afghanistan
Donors have committed/contributed US$281 million of humanitarian assistance to
Afghanistan so far in 2015.
The US is the largest donor in 2015, having contributed US$93 million so far, followed by the
European Commission with US$30.9 million and Japan with US$28.8 million. Combined, these
three donors have contributed more half of all humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan (54%).
According to analysis of FTS project descriptions, an estimated US$17.1 million has been
reported as contributions in response to internal displacement so far in 2015, though the
actual figure is likely to be higher. Similarly, approximately US$6 million has been marked in
2015 as specifically targeting the affected regions of Badakstan, Balkh, Kabul, Kunduz and
Takhar – though more funding that is not reported as region-specific may also be directed to
these areas.

5. Pooled funding as part of the response
Pooled funding mechanisms have been deployed to address unforeseen or under-funded
needs. Afghanistan has been a frequent recipient of funds from the UN’s Central Emergency
Response Fund (CERF). OCHA Afghanistan established a country-based pooled fund in 2009
with the creation of a small emergency response fund (ERF). The ERF was superseded by a full
common humanitarian fund (CHF) in 2014.
i. Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF)
So far in 2015, Afghanistan has been allocated US$7.9 million by the CERF, making it the 18th
largest recipient so far this year. All of the allocations in 2015 for Afghanistan have been made
through the underfunded emergency window. The most recent allocation was a US$4 million
grant (50% of all CERF funding to Afghanistan this year) to the World Food Programme for food
assistance – approved on 30 September and disbursed on 7 October.

ii. Common Humanitarian Fund (CHF)
In 2015 so far, US$24.7 million has been allocated from the CHF in Afghanistan. The largest
contributions to the Afghanistan CHF in 2015 have come from the UK (US$9.3 million), Sweden
(US$9 million) and Australia (US$6.1 million).

Note: Data on Afghanistan's CERF, Emergency Response Fund and CHF is taken from UN OCHA's FTS and therefore
reflects actual disbursements from pooled funds rather than allocations by the CERF to Afghanistan or by the
Afghanistan CHF. The Emergency Response Fund (ERF) was superseded by a full common humanitarian fund (CHF) in
2014.
iii. Multi-donor trust funds
Donors have used multi-donor trust funds extensively in Afghanistan to fund development
objectives. These include:ii
1. The Afghan Reconstruction Trust Fund (ARTF): In 2014, contributions amounted to
US$865.3 million.
2. The Law and Order Trust Fund for Afghanistan (LOTFA): In 2014, donors contributed
US$580.1 million.
