Tonga: IFRC Humanitarian Emergency Appeals and Funding Data

This dataset tracks humanitarian funding appeals and Disaster Response Emergency Fund (DREF) allocations for Tonga, managed by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). It provides records of financial requests for both large-scale complex disasters and smaller-scale emergency responses within the country. The data is maintained by the IFRC secretariat and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing historical funding trends for disasters in Tonga using appeal dates and financial amounts
• Evaluating the ratio of DREF allocations versus large-scale Emergency Appeals for the region
• Mapping humanitarian response intensity over time based on the frequency of IFRC appeals

Strengths

• Official data sourced directly from the IFRC secretariat
• Covers both large-scale Emergency Appeals and smaller DREF operations
• Openly licensed under CC-BY-IGO for intergovernmental use

Limitations

• Specific column names and schema are not defined in the source metadata
