This dataset tracks humanitarian funding for Madagascar through the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) as of March 2026. It documents financial allocations from the Disaster Response Emergency Fund (DREF) and larger Emergency Appeals for complex disasters. The data is provided in CSV format by the IFRC secretariat to support local action and recovery.
