BACKGROUND ON IMPACT AND REACH

IMPACT Initiatives is a humanitarian NGO based in Geneva, Switzerland. The organisation manages several initiatives, including the REACH Initiative, AGORA, and PANDA. 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 organisations have a strong complementarity relationship formalised in a global partnership, enabling IMPACT to benefit from ACTED’s operational support in its fields of intervention.

REACH was born in 2010 as a joint initiative of two International NGOs (IMPACT 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) needs and situation assessments facilitated by REACH teams; (b) situation analysis using satellite imagery; (c) provision of related database and (web)-mapping facilities and expertise.

COUNTRY PROFILE

IMPACT has been active in Ukraine since 2015, working primarily in government controlled and non-government controlled areas of Donetsk and Luhansk. Following the full-scale invasion in February 2022, IMPACT significantly scaled-up its activities, operating across the whole country to support evidence-based planning and prioritisation. IMPACT Ukraine’s research portfolios are structured across four strategic objectives:

1. Providing timely and relevant data and analysis to inform decision-making in response to new and evolving information needs.

2. Ensuring systematic and independent tracking of humanitarian needs and vulnerabilities to inform effective prioritization, accountability to affected populations, and coordination.

3. Making information and analysis available to support sustainable and community-focused planning, policy, and programming in response to longer-term challenges associated with the conflict.

4. Strengthening the capacity of civil society and authorities to use data to collaborate and respond sustainably to current and future needs.

IMPACT provides operational data and analysis to support the delivery of life-saving humanitarian aid in areas close to the frontline and informs countrywide humanitarian prioritisation. In addition, we work closely with partners and coordinating bodies to support stabilisation, early recovery, and community-planning initiatives that offer longer-term solutions to mitigate the effects of the war on individuals and communities.
