IMPACT conducts humanitarian assessments and monitoring and evaluation activities, produces information management solutions and facilitates organisational capacity building programmes that support aid stakeholders to plan and respond to crises.
IMPACT’s work is conducted through its three initiatives and implemented by a dedicated team of over 82 international experts in 37 countries.
IMPACT supports humanitarian planning, programming and implementation through field-based assessment and research projects. IMPACT, for example, facilitates multi-sector and sectors specific assessments which map the needs, dynamics and socio-economic relationships of communities affected by crisis.
IMPACT provides information solutions in order to facilitate decision-making by aid actors. These products include maps, reports and factsheets that consolidate data from our assessments. Additionally, IMPACT creates data storage and management solutions, such as portals, databases and interactive maps.
IMPACT monitors and evaluates humanitarian and development interventions in order to support aid actors in assessing the efficiency and efficacy of their programmes. IMPACT’s expertise includes independent third-party monitoring, impact evaluations and sector-response monitoring.
IMPACT builds the capacity of local and international actors by facilitating the development of a better understanding of crisis dynamics and by building the resilience of aid actors for future crisis and shocks. IMPACT also facilitates peer-to-peer support between institutional actors.
Understanding settlements, ensuring an evidence-based response, promoting innovation and working through partnerships constitute the four core components of IMPACT’s approach.
IMPACT supports the understanding of settlements through the lens of community dynamics, governance structures and socio-economic relationships. We believe that a nuanced understanding of the context is key in implementing a targeted response.
IMPACT promotes a collaborative approach between and among aid actors, local to national governance stakeholders, the private sector and affected communities in order to improve the inclusiveness, effectiveness and quality of aid delivery.
IMPACT provides independent information and analysis on humanitarian needs, trends and response, enabling evidence based decision-making for planning, monitoring and evaluation purposes.
IMPACT promotes and facilitates the use of technology and innovation for efficient and accurate data collection and analysis as well as mapping and information management activities.
