Funding constraints are affecting humanitarian efforts, particularly for older people and those with disabilities. Humanitarian actors are having to make difficult decisions about how to allocate limited resources. Specialised programmes for vulnerable groups are often the first to be reduced or deemed non-essential, despite their critical role in saving lives.

The situation is outlined in a recent analytical note, which looks at the impact of funding constraints on organisations of persons with disabilities and older people's associations. Further details are available from the source, including information on the specific context and rationale behind the funding pressures. The analytical note focuses on the situation in Ukraine and Ethiopia, highlighting the challenges faced by humanitarian actors in these countries.
