**BACKGROUND ON IMPACT AND REACH**:
REACH was born in 2010 as a joint initiative of two International NGOs (IMPACT Initiatives and ACTED) and the United Nations 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. REACH facilitates information management for aid actors through three complementary services: (a) need and situation monitoring assessments facilitated by REACH teams; (b) situation analysis using satellite imagery; (c) provision of related database and (web)-mapping facilities and expertise.
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, and GIS. IMPACT was launched at the initiative of ACTED, an international NGO whose headquarter is based in Paris and is present in more than thirty countries. The two organizations have a strong complementarity formalized in a global partnership, enabling IMPACT to benefit from ACTED’s operational support on its fields of intervention.

Following the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine on February 24th, 2022, military hostilities have caused widespread damage to infrastructure and houses, hundreds of civilian deaths, disrupted markets and essential services, and precipitated massive displacement within Ukraine and into neighbouring countries.

The Humanitarian Needs Monitoring Unit (HNMU) gathers information on the severity and type of humanitarian needs experienced across Ukraine. The unit currently houses REACH’s nationwide Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA), Humanitarian Situation Monitoring (HSM) initiative, and Joint Market Monitoring Initiative (JMMI), as well as an initiative to provide dedicated operationally-focused analysis for two large donor-funded consortiums. Collectively, these research cycles aim to identify and monitor the evolving needs for households and communities across the country to support senior-level strategic decision making, programmatic planning, and advocacy efforts. The unit is currently comprised of 15 HR-contracted staff.
