. Summary The Global Humanitarian Assistance Report 2026 shows an unprecedented contraction in humanitarian funding, resulting in millions of people in crisis without assistance and backsliding on promised reforms. International humanitarian funding has contracted by almost a third since 2023, with
Key takeaway Against this backdrop, humanitarian actors are still waiting for reforms promised 10 years ago under the Grand Bargain.
Why this matters
The contraction in humanitarian funding has significant implications for Christian charities and faith-based organizations that rely on international assistance to support their disaster relief efforts. The substantial decrease in funding from major donors like the United States and Germany may force these organizations to reevaluate their priorities and allocate limited resources more strategically. The increased contributions from Gulf donors, while welcome, may also introduce new complexities in terms of coordination and alignment of interests. As humanitarian actors call for reforms to the existing system, Christian charities and faith-based organizations must navigate this shifting landscape to ensure they can continue to provide critical support to those in need. The backsliding on promised reforms under the Grand Bargain is particularly concerning, as it may exacerbate the existing funding gaps and hinder the ability of these organizations to respond effectively to disasters and crises.
