Iraq Humanitarian Funding: Requirements and Flows from OCHA FTS

OCHA's Financial Tracking Service (FTS) provides humanitarian funding and requirement data for Iraq, tracking flows from donors to recipient organizations. The dataset includes financial records mapped against humanitarian response plans, updated as recently as March 2026. It covers both general humanitarian aid and specific COVID-19 related funding.

Use Cases

• Comparing 'funding requirements' against actual 'funding flows' to identify resource gaps
• Identifying the most active 'donors' contributing to the Iraq humanitarian response
• Categorizing aid distribution by 'recipient organizations' to map the humanitarian landscape

Strengths

• Official OCHA FTS data source
• Includes COVID-19 specific funding tags
• Maps actual funding against stated humanitarian requirements

Limitations

• Self-reported data from donors and recipients may lead to reporting lags
• Unknown row count and column structure in current metadata
