Humanitarian needs arise from both sudden and slow-onset shocks. Currently, 40% of people requiring humanitarian assistance face intersecting risks of high-intensity conflict, socioeconomic fragility, and severe climate crisis vulnerability. With the rise of protracted crises, climate change, and increasing displaced populations, traditional funding mechanisms are struggling to keep pace with escalating humanitarian demands.
In this strained financing context, the role of humanitarian innovative finance (HIF) has become increasingly important. However, the mobilisation of private finance at scale faces several challenges, including risk factors, a lack of bankable project pipelines, limited information on investment opportunities, insufficient skills and understanding of innovative finance, and regulatory issues.
This side event will bring together experts to provide insights into blended finance, their opportunities and challenges, and their role in the broader humanitarian financing landscape. By bridging finance and fieldwork, we aim to foster dialogue and collaboration, leading to practical solutions for the growing scale, duration, and impact of humanitarian crises, ensuring that aid reaches those in need more efficiently and effectively.
The side event is hosted by Humanitarian Finance Forum, a global network that connects humanitarian with resources to access funding through capital markets.
