Bolivia: IFRC Emergency Appeals and Disaster Response Funding

This dataset tracks humanitarian funding requests and disaster response operations in Bolivia managed by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). It documents Emergency Appeals for complex disasters and Disaster Response Emergency Fund (DREF) allocations for smaller crises, with records updated through March 2026. The data is provided by the IFRC secretariat to support local Red Cross and Red Crescent actions.

Use Cases

• Mapping the frequency of IFRC-supported disaster responses over time
• Correlating funding amounts with specific disaster events mentioned in appeal descriptions

Strengths

• Official data from the world's largest humanitarian network
• Includes both large-scale Emergency Appeals and medium-sized DREF responses
• Released under a CC-BY-IGO license for intergovernmental use

Limitations

• Unknown record count and specific column headers in the provided metadata
• Limited to IFRC-specific operations rather than a total national disaster response overview
