**BACKGROUND ON IMPACT AND REACH**

IMPACT Initiatives is a Geneva-based humanitarian NGO, aimed to improve the impact of humanitarian, stabilization, and development action through data, partnerships and capacity building programmes. With over 400 staff members, including assessment, data analysis, GIS experts, and field professionals, IMPACT teams are present in over 20 countries across the Middle East Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. IMPACT is a sister organization of ACTED, an NGO with headquarters in Paris. 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.

The work of IMPACT is done through collaborative initiatives, to ensure research and analysis is actionable and context relevant. The main initiative of IMPACT is the REACH Initiative.

REACH was founded in 2010 as a joint initiative of IMPACT and ACTED, in partnership with the United Nations Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT). REACH's purpose is to develop and promote information that enhances 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; (bl situation analysis using satellite imagery; (c) provision of related database and (web)-mapping facilities and expertise.
