Country Coordinator for Nigeria at IMPACT Initiatives

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:

  • Need and situation assessments facilitated by REACH teams
  • Situation analysis using satellite imagery
  • 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 headquartered in Paris and present in thirty countries.
