ACAPS

ACAPS is dedicated to improving the analysis of humanitarian needs in complex emergencies. We provide independent, evidence-based insights to support better decision-making for humanitarian responders. Our CrisisInSight team plays a key role in helping the global humanitarian community stay informed about crises around the world. By collecting and analysing both quantitative and qualitative data, the team produces high-quality assessments and reports that aid effective response.

The INFORM Severity Index (SI) is a critical tool used by ACAPS to monitor and analyse the severity of humanitarian crises globally. The index provides evidence-based insights by evaluating the intensity of a crisis across multiple dimensions, including humanitarian needs and vulnerabilities. It helps decision-makers prioritize response efforts and allocate resources more efficiently by offering a clear, data-driven picture of crisis severity.

The Senior Analyst will play a central role in overseeing the production and continuous improvement of the INFORM Severity Index, ensuring that it meets the evolving needs of the humanitarian community.

Purpose of the position

The Senior Analyst will serve as the Product Manager for the INFORM Severity Index (SI), overseeing the end-to-end process of data collection, analysis, and quality assurance. This includes coordinating the work between analysts, Data Collectors, and Data Reviewers to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the analysis produced. The Senior Analyst will also be responsible for the final approval of responses to users’ questions regarding the INFORM SI.

In this role, the Senior Analyst will supervise the work of ACAPS Information Analysts and data content reviewer dedicated to the INFORM SI and ensure the timely and efficient production of analysis. The Senior Analyst will work closely with other analysts, Data Analysts, Data Scientists, and quality control teams to guarantee the quality and reliability of the outputs.

As ACAPS continues to evolve its work around the INFORM Severity Index and adjusts its systems, procedures, and structures for more effective and efficient data and analysis delivery, this role will also evolve to meet the changing needs of the organization and the product.
