Humanitarian Response Index 2010


As promised in this post, here is the link to the just released Humanitarian Response Index 2010: The Problems of Politicisation. The report includes a foreword by the High Commissioner for Refugees. Here's part of the blurb:
The Humanitarian Response Index 2010 provides an objective overview of donor performance, which can assist governments in ensuring their humanitarian funding has the greatest possible impact for people in need.
This year’s report reveals the increasing politicization and militarization of humanitarian aid which compromises effective assistance to vulnerable populations and endangers humanitarian workers. The Humanitarian Response Index 2010 urges a principled approach by donor governments since respect of Good Humanitarian Donorship principles is essential to make humanitarian aid more effective.
The HRI site offers a variety of other resources such as key findings, donor assessment, crisis reports, info. on their methodology, and multimedia.
