Whose priorities count? A make or break moment for global solidarity in crises.

In 2025, we spoke with more than 14,000 people experiencing crisis across 12 countries as sweeping aid cuts stretched humanitarian response to breaking point and global governance hit a point of rupture.

We look at how aid cuts are affecting people, how aligned humanitarian prioritisation is with communities' own priorities and how a shrinking formal aid sector is affecting the broader aid ecosystem.

We envision support systems for people in crisis that fully recognise their agency, and are responsive to their views, preferences, and needs.
