In line with the Treaty, the Humanitarian Aid Regulation and the Consensus, the Commission,
through DG ECHO, is committed to delivering aid to populations affected by natural or man-made disasters solely on the basis of need.
Besides country evaluations by ECHO fields experts and desks and a dedicated food insecurity needs assessment, a global evaluation
is carried out centrally, which compares countries, in order to identify the priority areas for DG-ECHO interventions.
This global evaluation has two dimensions: the Global Vulnerability and Crisis Assessment (GVCA) and the forgotten crisis assessment (FCA).
Both the GVCA and the FCA are invaluable tools in determining impartially and independently where the Commission's aid
is most likely to be necessary. They also facilitate ensuring parity and consistency in the allocation of resources
across continents and countries. The methodology and results for these assessments are explained
here.
