The European Union is one of the world’s leading humanitarian aid donors.
Over the period 2017-2022, the European Commission’s Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations department (DG ECHO) provided funding to 183 humanitarian partners to implement projects in 108 countries, for a total amount of almost €12 billion.
DG ECHO has played a critical role in advocating for the respect of International humanitarian law (IHL) and humanitarian principles, while also adopting new policies, partnerships and practices to better support an enabling environment for the delivery of principled humanitarian aid.
The Public Consultation on the European Commission’s “Have Your Say” website seeks to support the ongoing Comprehensive Evaluation of the EU’s humanitarian aid (2017-2022).
The evaluation examines how well the European Commission has exercised its role as a donor and the results achieved in different crisis contexts during the period of the evaluation.
The Public Consultation is open until 30 April 2024.
Stakeholders and citizens wishing to share their views on the EU’s humanitarian aid during the evaluation period are invited to take part.
