Humanitarian Renewal.

The humanitarian system is in its deepest crisis in decades. The UN's 2025 appeal raised about USD 12 billion, the lowest level of funding in ten years. For 2026 it is seeking USD 23 billion to save 87 million lives, out of roughly 250 million people in urgent need. The cuts are forcing questions that go beyond money: what humanitarian action is for, who leads it, how it is financed and what institutions it needs.

The vehicle. Humanitarian Renewal is a partnership between GCI and ODI Global. Together we will coordinate political outreach, facilitate dialogue among participating governments, and build analysis with the Humanitarian Policy Group.

Built around governments. Like our established platforms, it starts with a coalition of governments, including countries directly managing humanitarian crises, working alongside local and national civil society. Their priorities will shape the agenda across four questions: the future purpose of humanitarian action; new forms of leadership and solidarity; sources of financing; and institutional architecture.

Phasing. First, seeding a government coalition (October 2026 – March 2027). Then, with demonstrated government demand and a consortium of partners in place, a multi-year programme (2027–29).
