Zimbabwe IFRC Humanitarian Appeals and Disaster Response Funding

Zimbabwe humanitarian funding data from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) tracks Emergency Appeals and Disaster Response Emergency Fund (DREF) allocations. The dataset provides official records of financial support for disasters in the country as of March 2026. It is maintained by the IFRC secretariat to support local Red Cross and Red Crescent action.

Use Cases

• Analyzing historical funding trends for Zimbabwe disasters using appeal types
• Comparing financial requirements between Emergency Appeals and DREF allocations
• Tracking the frequency of humanitarian interventions over time

Strengths

• Official data sourced directly from the IFRC secretariat
• Distinguishes between long-term recovery appeals and immediate DREF funding
• Released under a CC-BY-IGO license for humanitarian use

Limitations

• Geographic scope is limited strictly to Zimbabwe
• Lack of column-level documentation in the source metadata
