We enable crisis responders to address the world's disasters IN SHORT ACAPS is an independent information provider that is free from the bias or vested interests of any specific enterprise, sector, or region. As independent specialists in humanitarian needs analysis and assessment, we are not affiliated with the UN or any other organisation. This helps guarantee that our analysis is objective and evidence-based. WHAT WE DO We provide high-quality, independent, and multisectoral analysis to enable crisis responders to better understand and subsequently address the needs of the affected populations while strengthening the assessment ecosystem. ACAPS can produce tailored analytical products, scenario-building workshops, and field assessments upon request. These services can complement your own work in a collaborative learning environment, as well as support your decision-making mechanisms. Interested in customised support?
