Abstract

Every year as the number of humanitarian crises increase, the gap between humanitarian needs and funding available to address those needs further widens. This chapter will review some of the reasons as to why humanitarian funding is in crises to further understand why innovative humanitarian financing is on the rise. The first part of the chapter will discuss some of the key challenges facing the humanitarian sector such as environmental issues, conflict, humanitarian issues and forced displacement. The second part of this chapter will discuss some of the key issues and trends in the overall humanitarian financing landscape.
