Abstract

As the humanitarian funding gap widens, more humanitarian organizations are using innovative financing mechanisms to expand their funding sources and tap new pools of funding. Although it is argued that the mobilization of innovative humanitarian financing tools can help close the funding gap and provide much-needed financing for humanitarian crises, there is limited research and understanding of how these funding tools work, the opportunities they offer, their challenges in addition to how they fit into the wider humanitarian funding landscape. This chapter introduces the book’s overall purpose, arguments, research design and contemporary relevance. The main aim of this chapter will be to give a brief background on the emergent field of innovative humanitarian financing.
