One in every 23 people now needs humanitarian assistance. In 2023, a record 339 million people will need humanitarian assistance and protection – a significant increase from 274 million people at the beginning of 2022. The UN and partner organizations aim to assist 230 million people most in need across 69 countries, which will require $51.5 billion.
OCHA held a special briefing on the 2023 Global Humanitarian Overview (GHO) for private sector partners last week.
As highlighted by the speakers and participants, the private sector has a key role to play in responding to today's growing challenges, and making humanitarian response more efficient, faster and accountable.
A recording of OCHA's private sector briefing can be found below.
