Every year, millions of people are affected by conflict and natural disasters. Growing public awareness of these crises and their severity and tragic consequences has resulted in an increase in the available funding over the past decades and demonstrated the need to reform the international humanitarian system. It is now more important than ever to have the kind of information and practical tools that allow humanitarian action to be assessed, so that it can be improved. The HRI addresses one of the main links of the humanitarian response system, donor countries, whose policies critically influence the rest of the chain. Donors can apply pressure to make humanitarian action more effective, relevant, and coherent. The HRI provides an annual, detailed analysis of the evolution of humanitarian action, donor commitments, and outstanding challenges. Its aim is to raise the awareness – among donors, humanitarian actors, and society as a whole – about the importance of humanitarian action and the principles of Good Humanitarian Donorship. The information in the HRI focuses on the promotion of active policy dialogue in the search for coherent answers to an increasingly complex reality.

Over 350 million people are affected each year by disaster and conflict. The international community is often unable to respond effectively to these crises. This report provides an independent examination of donor performance with the aim of improving the effectiveness of aid, and promoting greater accountability of donors.

The purpose of this annual report is to develop an index of good humanitarian donorship that will measure donors' effectiveness against their commitment to the Principles and Good Practise of Humanitarian Donorship. The index is intended to help the international donor community to better understand its strengths and weaknesses in order to improve the efficiency and quality of its donor activities and initiatives. The index is also expected to raise awareness about the increasingly important role of humanitarian action and associated good practices beyond its current core constituencies. We believe that this report offers significant potential to improve the quality of humanitarian aid, benefiting those most affected by both man-made and natural disasters.

Humanitarian logistics encapsulates all supply chain efforts in response to a disaster or emergency. Despite the increased focus on humanitarian supply chains, there is not a general method for measuring the supply chain response capacity. We propose a model for humanitarian response capacity based on the stock levels and supplier capacity of an organization. We evaluate the model using inventory stock level data from the United Nations Humanitarian Response Depots (UN HRD) and a combination of inventory stock level and supplier contracted replenishment time data from the New York City Office of Emergency Management (NYC OEM). Model results in response to four simulated disaster events graphically show the approximate number of people that can be served as well as the oscillations in capacity during the response and replenishment phases. Given the span from global (UN HRD) to municipal (NYC OEM) contexts, this response capacity model provides a framework for developing a more general index that can aid organizations in making important investment decisions in order to save lives with more efficient disaster response.
