A 2018 study on the Economics of Early Response to drought crises, funded by USAID, found that greater investment in earlier response and longer-term resilience building measures would yield benefits of US$2.8 for every US$1 spent, saving billions of dollars for international humanitarian assistance budgets, as well as mitigating income and asset losses for those most affected. The analysis presented here considers the economics of alternative responses to refugee crises.
