The aim of this report is to provide a reference tool for policymakers and practitioners, both Grand Bargain signatories and non-signatories, with examples of the way funding is and could be provided to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of programming. It is not intended as an exhaustive survey of quality funding practices but as an indicative summary of approaches to quality funding that can be added to.
This catalogue on quality funding practices was first published in July 2020. It presented a range of funding mechanisms identified by donors and recipients as providing ‘quality funding’ for humanitarian response. This updated version continues to fill the original evidence gap, and includes progress made on new initiatives and actions, such as locally- and NGO-led initiatives. The focus on humanitarian funding mechanisms remains, though individual examples might support a broader crisis response across the humanitarian and development nexus.
