IMPACT Initiatives is a leading Geneva-based think-and-do tank which aims to improve the impact of humanitarian, stabilisation and development action through data, partnerships and capacity building programmes. The work of IMPACT is implemented by its three initiatives: REACH, AGORA and PANDA.
REACH, a joint initiative of IMPACT, ACTED and UNOSAT, provides data and analysis on contexts of crisis in order to inform humanitarian action. Within AGORA, IMPACT partners with ACTED to support the stabilisation of crisis-affected areas by promoting synergies between international aid and local response actors. Through PANDA, IMPACT supports aid actors to improve the effectiveness of their programmes through monitoring, evaluation and capacity building activities.
IMPACT teams are present in over 25 countries across the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America. The teams work in contexts ranging from conflict to disasters and in areas seeing the effects of displacement and migration.
