**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 with headquarters based in Paris and presence in thirty countries. The two organizations have a strong complementarity formalized in a global partnership, which allows IMPACT to benefit from Acted’s operational support in its fields of intervention.

Ongoing clashes continue to trigger displacement with more than 3.3 million people reportedly internally displaced.

The IMPACT team has been supporting the humanitarian response in Myanmar since 2022 through the implementation of various assessments, including annual Multi-Sector Needs Assessments (MSNAs), Humanitarian Situation Monitoring, Joint Market Monitoring Initiative, and other assessments in support of humanitarian agencies.
