Description
BACKGROUND ON IMPACT AND REACH
IMPACT Initiatives is a humanitarian NGO, based in Geneva, Switzerland. The organisation manages several
initiatives, including the REACH Initiative. The IMPACT team comprises specialists in data collection,
management and analysis, GIS and remote-sensing. IMPACT was launched at the initiative of ACTED, an
international NGO whose headquarter is based in Paris and is present in thirty countries. The two
organizations have a strong complementarity formalized in a global partnership, which allows particularly
IMPACT to benefit from ACTED’s operational support on its fields of intervention.
REACH was born in 2010 as a joint initiative of the two International NGOs (IMPACT Initiatives and ACTED)
and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) Operational Satellite Applications
Programme (UNOSAT). REACH’s purpose is to promote and facilitate the development of information
products that enhance the humanitarian community’s decision making and planning capacity for emergency,
reconstruction and development contexts, supporting and working within the framework of the humanitarian
reform process. REACH facilitates information management for aid actors through three complementary
services: (a) need and situation assessments facilitated by REACH teams; (b) situation analysis using satellite
imagery; (c) provision of related database and (web)-mapping facilities and expertise.
We are currently looking for a REACH Data Officer to support our team in Sudan.
