GHO 2025

Global Humanitarian Overview 2025

The GHO 2025 presents an analysis of global crises and needs and the humanitarian plans to address them. In 2025, humanitarian partners are appealing for over US$47 billion to assist nearly 190 million people facing life-threatening and urgent needs across 72 countries. The report looks at response trends to strengthen, such as localization, cash, accountability and the changes needed to deliver aid effectively: security and funding. The GHO presents a collective picture of humanitarians' achievements and, conversely, what happens when humanitarians are unable to deliver aid.

GHO 2025

Foreword by the Emergency Relief Coordinator

"This Global Humanitarian Overview for 2025 ... must jolt us into seeking a reset of the world's relationship with those in direst need; to raise all the funds needed for our frontline appeals; to find new allies, partnerships, and ways of working; to surge work to put the voices and agency of those we serve at the heart of the effort; and to be ruthless in finding efficiency and innovation."

GHO 2025

Humanitarians’ response: an urgent appeal for access and funding

In 2025, the UN and partner organizations are appealing for over $47 billion to assist nearly 190 million people across 72 countries. The GHO reflects intensive work by humanitarian partners to prioritize assistance and protection for the people and places who need it most. Two key changes are required for humanitarians to effectively deliver in 2025—access and safety for civilians and the aid workers who serve them, and a fully funded GHO.
