About ACAPS

ACAPS believes that evidence must be at the heart of humanitarian action and together with our partners we turn data into decisions that truly matter.  We cut through the noise and make sense out of chaos. We analyse complex data and provide clear insights so that decision-makers can take the best possible course of action.

We do this by:

• Providing independent analysis that helps humanitarians make informed choices.
• Deploying experts to support assessments and analysis in crisis.
• Driving innovation to collect better, faster, and more reliable data.

Due to an increased awareness of ACAPS value add to the humanitarian sector, ACAPS now operates analysis hubs covering Afghanistan, Yemen, Colombia, Ethiopia, and Ukraine. This is in addition to multiple global teams providing analysis spanning over 150 countries and 100 active crises worldwide. ACAPS donor portfolio is also expanding, with current active funding from key institutional donors such as FCDO, SDC, GFFO, GAC, SDC, NMFA and others.

We are looking for builders, problem-solvers, and innovators, people who thrive on challenges, love creating structures out of complexity, and are excited to be part of something new and impactful!
