Conversations on forced displacement in many cases still centre on the climate versus conflict dichotomy, but multiple factors often combine as triggers, requiring a more analytical approach to financing forced displacement response.

Examining how Brazil finances its response to Venezuelan displacement offers critical insights into the effectiveness of these mechanisms. It also raises important questions about migration, aid and human rights protection policies.

The humanitarian sector is facing an unprecedented funding gap, and organisations are making hard choices in prioritising which populations to reach. This article outlines four principles for effective humanitarian boundary-setting.

Evidence from Colombia shows that results-based financing is an underused tool for forced displacement response; it can be used to overcome challenges around policy implementation and maximise programme impact and cost efficiency.

International sanctions placed on a conflict-affected State limit the ability of aid agencies to support civilians. In Syria, sanctions have had a profound impact on funding for humanitarian aid for forcibly displaced people.

UN refugee agencies depend heavily on the funding of just a few Western States. While reforming the funding system may help to fulfil the agencies’ mandate and maintain autonomy, preserving their legitimacy is crucial.
