CHAtroom#27: Contested Aid with Goda Milašiūtė

As a result of drastic cuts to humanitarian action worldwide and
the ‘Humanitarian Reset’ – the latest United Nations’ reform agenda
– so-called ‘pooled funds’ are playing an increasingly important
role. As part of the CHA Work Plan 2025–2027, CHA research fellow
Goda Milašiūtė is exploring the potential of various intermediary
financing mechanisms to enable and anchor local leadership roles.
In this episode of CHAtroom, communications lead Anne Tritschler
asks her: What different financing mechanisms are there in
humanitarian action? Why is such a high priority given to
Country-Based Pooled Funds as part of the ‘Reset’? What is meant by
‘quality funding’?
