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 in its fields of intervention.



As part of its steady growth and in line with its organisational priorities, IMPACT has made the decision to implement a digital transition, in line with its global partner ACTED and taking into account the operational partnership in our countries of intervention. This entails a) proposing, designing, implementing, and mainstreaming use of modern software and cloud platforms to enable and improve communication, collaboration and information sharing, and empowering IMPACT staff to perform their duties effectively b) supporting other functions (mostly IT, logistics and procurement) with clear guidance and technical backstopping c) training IMPACT staff in use of the implemented solutions, and advocate for improvements of internal processes leveraging those solutions. All activities are to be implemented in compliance with IMPACT’s CoC and guiding policies, and more specifically imperatives related to data protection, data storage and data sharing, also in close alignment/cooperation with ACTED HQ IT teams to ensure developments are compatible, yet potentially owned by IMPACT (as a medium term strategy to ensure gradually independent processes).
