Abstract

The Humanitarian Response Index is based, in part, on a survey of implementing agencies working in eight humanitarian crises across the globe. The Survey collected over 1,000 responses assessing OECD DAC donor performance in these countries in relation to the Good Humanitarian Donorship (GHD) Principles. The eight crises represent a variety of disasters and complex emergencies resulting from natural hazards and violence and conflict, in different phases of the humanitarian response, and with contrasting levels of funding. The following reports, based on field missions conducted by DARA teams in 2007, review the key features and debates surrounding the causes and nature of the crises, the international donor response, and the implementation of humanitarian action on the ground. They therefore illustrate the complexity of humanitarian operations and the challenges faced in putting the GHD Principles into practice.
