2013 UNICEF humanitarian aid appeal: Where will the money go?

The price tag: $1.4 billion. That’s just an initial requirement. As the U.N. agency — whose budget relies entirely on voluntary donations — notes in its appeal issued Jan. 25, the amount is expected to be adjusted, either upward or downward, “as new events occur, additional assessments are carried out and needs are met.” That happened in 2012. Originally, UNICEF sought $1.28 billion and later revised the appeal to $1.46 billion. International Development Research Network.

Blog/ Posted on December 3rd, 2011 In contrast to the rather mild weather that characterized the first two days of the Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness (HLF4), the final day was met with a cold, rainy morning – gloomy to be sure, pathetic fallacy maybe.

After all, the final day held the promise of a new Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation and participants descended on Bexco – the HLF4 venue – eager to see how the final act would play out in Busan. And how did it all end? Was HLF4 a comedy? Results for Development Institute. Ideas for development blog. Development Initiatives - Engage. Empower. Eliminate Poverty. Chris Blattman. DFID Bloggers.

Open The Echo Chamber

We should be asking if our interventions have impact, and identifying interventions that are effective means of addressing particular development challenges. Of course, this is a bit like arguing for clean air and clean water. Seriously, who’s going to argue for dirtier water or air. Who really argues for ineffective aid and development spending? Nobody. More often than not, discussions of accountability and impact serve only to inflate narrow differences in approach, emphasis, or opinion into full on “good guys”/ “bad guys” arguments, where the “bad guys” are somehow against evaluation, hostile to the effective use of aid dollars, and indeed actively out to hurt the global poor. When we start from this as a foundation, the accountability discussion is narrowed to a rather tepid debate about the application of the right tools to select the right programs.
