Refugee resettlement in America has hit an all-time low. The IRC's exclusive report uncovers how and why it must change.

This document discusses the methodological decisions which arise when conducting cost-efficiency analysis, and suggests a standard approach for dealing with these issues in the context of humanitarian basic needs programs.

Until recently, humanitarian organizations have not routinely used cost data to compare the efficiency or effectiveness of different interventions and program delivery models. As a result, policy makers and practitioners have had little data to inform decisions on the allocation of financial resources for humanitarian response. With better information about the cost-efficiency and cost-effectiveness of our interventions, the IRC is able to understand how and why costs vary across contexts, enabling more informed decision making to maximize the impact of each dollar spent to improve our clients’ lives.
