- Aid
- USD 3,168.9m official aid, all sectors, 2024 (+196% since 2019, current USD) E28. Main donors, 2024: IMF Concessional Trust Funds 41%, World Bank (IDA) 31%, United States 7%. Donors whose total aid (all recipients) fell more than 10%, 2024→2025 (provisional): United States −56%, Germany −16%, Japan −11% E57.
- Need
- 1.6 million in Phase 3+ in Oct–Dec 2025, Cadre Harmonisé E44.
Newest figure: Oct–Dec 2025 (Cadre Harmonisé) · Oldest: 2024 (OECD CRS) · Older than the source usually is: acute food insecurity (Oct–Dec 2025).

- Dots: natural-hazard alerts (GDACS), one per flood, storm, wildfire or earthquake; colour is the need for international help from that event alone, not the overall crisis
- Green87this event alone: international assistance unlikely to be needed; local impact can still be significant
- Orange0this event alone: international assistance may be needed

Dots: 87 GDACS alert records plotted in this frame (tap or hover for details); a geographic subset of the evidence card, not an exhaustive disaster count.

How exposed the money is
Computed by the app from the evidence cards it links to, with fixed rules, so two briefs on the same scope say the same thing.
Donor concentration and cuts E57
Computed by the app: OECD CRS gross disbursements in this scope, 2024 (card E28), all official donors USD 3,168.9m; donors' total net ODA from OECD DAC1 (card E37).
donor's total aid fell more than 10% in the latest provisional year
- 41% Largest donor's share
- 79% Three largest donors' share
- 10% Share from donors whose total aid fell more than 10% (2024→2025) (USD 323.7 m)
- 4% Rough estimate for 2025, not a forecast: less in this scope if those cuts fell evenly (USD 133.6 m)
Exposed: a donor whose total aid fell more than 10% in the OECD's provisional latest year. Rough estimate method: each donor's 2024 aid in this scope, reduced by the same percentage as its total aid fell from 2024 to 2025 in the OECD's provisional figures, summed over donors that fell more than 10%; donors that did not cut count as unchanged. It assumes each donor cut this country as much as its overall aid; in practice donors protect some countries and cut others harder. The OECD's country figures for 2025 will replace it, usually about a year after the year ends. Only the donors listed on the OECD card are assessed; multilateral donors are not in the OECD's donor totals.

OECD Climate-related development finance, recipient perspective, 2022–2024: commitments in current USD millions; retrieved 2026-10-13. Commitments, not disbursements. Bilateral activities count at full value when climate is a principal or significant objective (OECD Rio markers), so the totals are an upper bound; multilateral development banks report only each project's climate component. The 'principal objective or climate component only' row is the stricter measure. Adaptation and mitigation overlap where an activity targets both, so they do not add up to the total. Ghana: USD 1,068.6m in 2022 → USD 507.3m in 2024 (-53%); peak USD 1,068.6m in 2022.

Computed by the app: OECD CRS gross disbursements in this scope, 2024 (card E28), all official donors USD 3,168.9m; donors' total net ODA from OECD DAC1 (card E37). Exposed: a donor whose total aid fell more than 10% in the OECD's provisional latest year. Rough estimate method: each donor's 2024 aid in this scope, reduced by the same percentage as its total aid fell from 2024 to 2025 in the OECD's provisional figures, summed over donors that fell more than 10%; donors that did not cut count as unchanged. It assumes each donor cut this country as much as its overall aid; in practice donors protect some countries and cut others harder. The OECD's country figures for 2025 will replace it, usually about a year after the year ends. Only the donors listed on the OECD card are assessed; multilateral donors are not in the OECD's donor totals.

Crisis risk: INFORM Risk Index Mid 2026 · INFORM Risk Index (EU Joint Research Centre)
About this source: An index from the European Commission's Joint Research Centre and partners that rates how likely a humanitarian crisis or disaster is to overwhelm a country's capacity to cope. Humanitarian donors and agencies use it to compare countries; it measures structural risk, not current needs.

INFORM Risk Index Mid 2026, EU Joint Research Centre with IASC partners; retrieved 2026-11-08. Scores 0-10, higher means a higher risk that a humanitarian crisis overwhelms national capacity. Ghana: the highest of the three dimensions is Hazard & exposure (6.2); read the score through that dimension. Ghana: INFORM Risk 4.3 in 2022 → 5.1 in Mid 2026 (Medium → High); the method changed slightly between editions, so read this as direction, not a precise trend.

CHIRPS satellite rainfall estimates with station data, averaged per region by WFP, via the HDX Humanitarian API; rolling periods ending 20 Oct 2026; retrieved 2026-11-08. Percentages compare with the 1989-2018 average for the same period. Recent periods use preliminary estimates that are replaced by final data about a month later. 'Dry period' marks regions whose average for the period is under 30 mm, where a percentage says little. Rainfall is one input to harvests and water supply, not a drought declaration. Driest regions first. Region names are matched to WFP's region codes from OCHA's common operational boundaries (current and earlier editions), checked against the size of each region in WFP's data; 4 regions without a confirmed name are shown by code only.
