The State of the Humanitarian System (SOHS) 2018

Refugees in Greek beach

The humanitarian system has been facing substantial challenges in the past decade. Demand for aid has long outpaced resources available, yet humanitarian work continues to expand beyond emergencies to longer, more complex crises. Is the humanitarian system fit for purpose? How is the humanitarian system performing?

The State of the Humanitarian System (SOHS) is an independent study that compiles the latest statistics on the size, shape and scope of the humanitarian system and assesses overall performance and progress. Published every three years, it provides a unique sector-level mapping and assessment of international humanitarian assistance. 

Following from a successful pilot in 2010, the SOHS study has been repeated in 2012, 2015 and 2018.
