Humanitarian Data and Trends 2012

World Humanitarian Data and Trends presents global and country-level data and trend analysis relevant to humanitarian assistance. Its purpose is to bring this information together in one place and present it in an accessible way. It is intended to establish a common baseline of humanitarian data that can be built on in future years and allow for comparisons across time. This data can be used to help support humanitarian policy decisions and provide country-level context that can support operational decision-making.

The information presented covers three main areas: 1) humanitarian needs in 2011; 2) humanitarian response in 2011; 3) humanitarian trends. It is intended to provide as comprehensive a picture as possible of global humanitarian needs and response and to highlight major, indicative trends in the nature of humanitarian crises, their drivers and the actors that participate in crisis prevention, response and recovery.
