Global Humanitarian Overview 2021, March Update
Format
The Global Humanitarian Overview (GHO) for 2021 was launched on 1 December 2020 to help 160 million of the 235 million most vulnerable people who face hunger, conflict, displacement, the impacts of climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic in 56 countries. As of 31 March, adjusted requirements were $36.0 billion to assist 159 million of the 237 million people in need in 56 countries
Some adjustments to requirements and to the numbers of people in need and to receive assistance have been made since the GHO launch. This month, requirements increased by $226 million, mainly due to increases in Ethiopia (estimated) and South Sudan. The number of people in need of assistance and the number of people targeted increased by 2.4 million and 2.2 million, respectively, this month, mainly because of increases in Cameroon,
