DASHBOARD
Aim
Aim
This dashboard visualises data on key variables to highlight vulnerabilities to the US foreign assistance funding freeze or cuts. This data includes crises severity scores (based on INFORM Severity Index), number of active humanitarian risks by country, financial data, and information on humanitarian needs.
Methodology
Methodology
The dashboard compiles publicly available data on humanitarian crises severity, humanitarian needs, funding requirements, and humanitarian aid contributions reported to OCHA’s Financial Tracking System (FTS). Information on priority needs per country is based on ACAPS’ Global Analysis Team assessment, drawing from the regular monitoring and analysis of over 140 crises worldwide.
Scope
Scope
The dashboard includes data on all countries with active humanitarian crises listed on the INFORM Severity Index. Financial data presented in the dashboard is for humanitarian aid contributions that cover 2023, 2024, and 2025. This does not include development funding or other US foreign funding assistance. Financial data for 2025 is not complete, as the dashboard was published in March 2025 at the beginning of the financial year.
US executive orders and stop-work directives on humanitarian aid have created global uncertainty, with huge impacts on those in need. Constant shifts, misinformation, and unclear policies make it difficult to grasp both the current situation and future consequences. Now more than ever, clear analysis is essential to understanding this crisis.
