FTS is a centralized source of curated, continuously updated, fully downloadable data and information on humanitarian funding flows. Government donors, UN-administered funds, UN agencies, NGOs and other humanitarian actors and partners exchange data and information with FTS in order to provide:

• visibility of their financial contributions to humanitarian activities
• a timely and continuously updated picture of funding flows between donors (government and private) and operational humanitarian actors (UN agencies, the Red Cross Movement, NGOs and CSOs)
• timely monitoring of funding progress against humanitarian response plan (HRP) and appeal requirements.

FTS is managed by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
