DARA has announced the Humanitarian Response Index 2010. The Index provides an overview of the humanitarian performance of donor countries, analysing 23 OECD-DAC donors against five pillars of performance – Responding to needs, supporting local capacity, working with humanitarian partners, promoting standards and enhancing implementation, and promoting learning and accountability.

Overall, Australia was rated 13th in this year’s Index, and is considered an average donor in most areas of assessment.
