**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 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 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.

IMPACT has been present in Colombia since 2019, with a focus on multisectoral, cash, and migration monitoring assessments. After 5+ years in the country, IMPACT is looking for a Country Representative to lead on the consolidation of its programmatic and operational presence in Colombia.
