TRANSCRIPT
GAPS BETWEEN THE SUPPLY AND DEMAND OF HUMANITARIAN INFORMATION IN EMERGENCIES
In conflict and natural disaster contexts, aid actors face serious challenges in collecting data in a systematic and comprehensive way, often resulting in significant gaps in the information required for designing, planning and evaluating aid.
REACH was created to fill these gaps in order to promote evidence-based humanitarian action.
LIMITED UNDERSTANDING OF CRISIS-AFFECTED COMMUNITIES AND THEIR SETTLEMENTS
Humanitarian action is typically structured around the linear relationship between household needs and sector-specific response. Conversely, crisis affected populations have multiple needs and often turn first to community support networks in their settlement.
REACH promotes a better understanding of crisis-affected communities within their settlements.

WHY WAS REACH CREATED?
REACH WAS CREATED IN RESPONSE TO TWO CRITICAL GAPS IN THE HUMANITARIAN SYSTEM
2
OURMISSION
REACH is a joint initiative of IMPACT, its sister-organisation ACTED, and the United Nations Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT). REACH was created in 2010 to facilitate the development of information tools and products that enhance the humanitarian community’s decision-making and planning capacity.
All REACH activities are conducted in support of and within the framework of interagency coordination mechanisms.
WHAT IS REACH?
Humanitarian actors effectively
respond to the needs of crisis-affected
communities
To strengthen evidence based decision
making by humanitarian actors through
efficient data collection, management and
analysis in contexts of crisis.

REACH STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK

3
1All REACH activities are grounded in a Strategic Framework and organised around three pillars:
4
Planning in Emergencies: Access to information is critical for effective aid delivery in situations of conflict or natural disaster. REACH supports the timely and systematic provision of information to facilitate better planning and coordination among humanitarian actors.
Displacement: Characterized by fluid population movement over wide affected areas, displacement contexts pose specific challenges for humanitarian response. REACH supports humanitarian planning in camp and non-camp settings, and informs planning around return and durable solutions.
Building Community Resilience: An understanding of community dynamics enables more effective humanitarian planning and response, and facilitates the transition towards reconstruction and long term recovery. REACH supports humanitarian actors to build community resilience.

REACH combines modern information technology with tailored assessment methodologies, tools and processes, which are adapted to each emergency context and to the requirements of aid actors and coordination mechanisms.
INTER-AGENCY ASSESSMENTS
REACH conducts and facilitates field based assessments through dedicated teams of data collectors, encoders and analysers.
REMOTE SENSING
REACH uses remote-sensing and satellite imagery analysis as complementary tools for rapid primary data collection.
SECONDARY DATA REVIEWS
REACH reviews secondary data in order to inform primary data collection methodologies and context analyses.

REACH maintains a Resource Centre as a platform for publishing and sharing REACH maps, reports and tools. The Resource Centre can be accessed at www.reachresourcecentre.info
REPORTS
REACH teams analyse and disseminate information to aid actors through a range of tailor-made products such as reports, profiles, situation overviews and factsheets.
MAPS
REACH produces and disseminates static maps to display information in a user-friendly format. Where relevant, REACH sets up field-based mapping centres to facilitate access to spatial data by a wide range of actors.
WEB-MAPS & ONLINE DASHBOARDS
REACH develops interactive web-maps and online dashboards to allow aid actors to access and manipulate key information themselves. Open and transparent, the information can be used by all actors to support their programs.
