The humanitarian sector is grappling with a significant funding gap, with 67% of humanitarian needs - approximately $41 billion – left unfunded in 2023. Additionally, 88% of all humanitarian funding comes from just 10 government donors, underscoring the unsustainability of current funding frameworks. Given that 80% of humanitarian needs are recurrent and protracted, there is an opportunity to shift some funding burdens to public-private investments. This session will delve into the potential of blended finance to draw in private capital and how it offers a pathway to align public and private interests in areas where it can deliver sustainable and durable solutions through a longer-term investment.
