POLICY PAPERS
How Do Humanitarian Donors Make Decisions, and What Is the Scope for Change?
Rose Worden
and
Patrick Saez
October 28, 2021
In this policy paper we review donor responses to a survey and interviews to probe the effects of the broader political and economic context in which donors operate, and identify internal constraints on humanitarian funding, planning, and making allocative decisions. We identify and highlight percei...
POLICY PAPERS
Effective Humanitarian Governance
Patrick Saez et al.
October 21, 2021

Blog Post
Who Represents Whom? A Conversation on Decolonizing Humanitarian Governance
Patrick Saez et al.
July 26, 2021
The Black Lives Matter movement, #AidToo, and the failure to support locally-led responses during COVID-19 have spotlighted power imbalances in the humanitarian sector. Whether between large NGOs and local organizations, or crisis-affected populations, there are limited ways for people to participat...
CGD NOTES

Charles Kenny
and
George Yang
July 07, 2021

POLICY PAPERS
Financing the Humanitarian Public Good: Towards a More Effective Humanitarian Financing Model
Patrick Saez et al.
July 07, 2021
