In the Flash Appeal for the Nepal Earthquake, 78 organizations have requested $422 million to lead the disaster response. Only 0.8% of funds are directed to organizations based in Nepal.
What is the Flash Appeal? The Flash Appeal is a joint funding process for the humanitarian community. Organizations submit project proposals and funds are divided between different areas of need.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and humanitarian shelter officials claim that 762,000 people have been reached with either a tent or a tarp in Nepal. Meanwhile, the aid community claims to have reached 3 million. What can explain this discrepancy?
