Projects and Funding Officer for HQ based in Geneva

IMPACT Initiatives is a humanitarian NGO, based in Geneva, Switzerland. The organization manages several initiatives, including the REACH Initiative, the PANDA Initiative, and the AGORA Initiative, aimed at enhancing humanitarian decision making and planning capacity.

The IMPACT team comprises specialists in data collection, management, analysis, and GIS. IMPACT was launched at the initiative of Acted, and the two organizations have a strong complementarity formalized in a global partnership.

In 2023, the Department for Projects and Institutional Partnerships (PIPD) developed a strategy to align departmental priorities with IMPACT’s global roadmap. The objective is to identify and sustain effective fundraising, proposal, and project management processes embraced by all teams.
