It is critical these decisions are grounded in an informed and impartial understanding of needs and context, ensuring that the humanitarian narrative is driven by evidence rather than political agendas.\n\nAs specialised H2H organisations committed to providing independent data and analysis, we welcome the increased focus on these issues, particularly within OCHA’s review of its IM and analysis functions. This is an important opportunity to strengthen the sector, and we encourage OCHA to recognise and enhance the role of technical partners in fostering collaboration, partnership, and joint ownership.\n\nWe believe OCHA has a crucial role in leading an invigorated strategy for data, IM, assessments, and analysis within the sector, and present the following recommendations to support this:&#8221;},{&#8220;component&#8221;:&#8221;hc_space&#8221;,&#8221;id&#8221;:&#8221;xNTLx&#8221;,&#8221;css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_styles&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;size&#8221;:&#8221;m&#8221;,&#8221;height&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;},{&#8220;component&#8221;:&#8221;hc_wp_editor&#8221;,&#8221;id&#8221;:&#8221;kV0cD&#8221;,&#8221;css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_styles&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;editor_content&#8221;:&#8221;<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #bd2428;\">1. Enhanced Leadership and Coordination</span></strong></span>\n\nThe lack of standardised guidance challenges the consistency and credibility of humanitarian responses, with decisions in different contexts informed by data and analysis that is inconsistent in its extent and quality. Though progress has been made in ethical and technical standards, OCHA should promote the collective development of clear, actionable standards that ensure data reliability, transparency and comparability across different operational contexts, while safeguarding the integrity of data and ensuring contextual relevance through community and local engagement, allowing diverse actors to contribute without compromising on technical rigour.\n\n<strong><span style=\"color: #183761;\">Recommendations:</span></strong>\n\n<strong><span style=\"color: #183761;\">2.1 Consistent data supporting diverse analysis: </span></strong>We stress the need for a clear and consistent vision and call for more streamlined coordination that maximises impact while minimising bureaucratic overload. OCHA should clearly designate focal points for IM, data, assessments, and analysis services, while reviewing their internal roles and responsibilities, reducing complexity for partners.\n\n<strong><span style=\"color: #183761;\">1.2 Enhance coordination architecture: </span></strong>Clarify and strengthen the role of existing coordination fora like the IM Working Group and Assessment and Analysis Working Group, based on field success stories. Make these mechanisms outcome-focused, with clear mandates, Terms of Reference and integrated NGO co-leadership.\n\n<strong><span style=\"color: #183761;\">1.3 Increased partner engagement: </span></strong>As needs grow and funding decreases, the expanding ecosystem of local and global technical partners and data providers requires proactive engagement with diverse actors. OCHA should collaborate openly and consistently with stakeholders to enhance coordination at the country, regional, and global levels.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #bd2428;\">2. Establish Clear Standards and Guidelines</span></strong></span>\n\nOCHA’s role in coordinating humanitarian data, assessments, analysis, and IM is vital, and it should prioritise outcome-oriented approaches that complement existing efforts and minimise inefficiencies. While successes such as the growth of the Centre for Humanitarian Data (CHD) should be built on, the complexity of overlapping initiatives and platforms creates inefficiencies, redundancy, and unhealthy competition.\n\n<strong><span style=\"color: #183761;\">Recommendations:</span></strong>\n\n<strong><span style=\"color: #183761;\">2.1 Consistent data supporting diverse analysis: </span></strong>Promote the collective development and use of standardised data methodologies across country operations to ensure consistent and reliable information on crisis-affected people’s needs, priorities and capacities. While quantitative data remains essential, it is important to complement this with qualitative research methods that are informed by the experiences and voices of affected populations.\n\n<strong><span style=\"color: #183761;\">2.2 Protect data credibility: </span></strong>Put in place the necessary incentives, structures, and protections to safeguard data and analysis services from political interference and other threats, either at response or global level. OCHA must recognise that influencing and politicising data and information is a reality of today’s conflicts.\n\n<strong><span style=\"color: #183761;\">2.3 Close gaps in skills and capacities: </span></strong>OCHA should advocate for funding and support for the development of capacities at the operational level, addressing the data skills gap. OCHA is well placed to support analysis guidelines and training materials for humanitarians with different technical levels, prioritising support for local actors.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #bd2428;\">3. Enhance Data Platforms and Integration</span></strong></span>\n\nThe fragmented nature of the current humanitarian data landscape severely impacts accessibility, interoperability and efficiency. We now have an important ecosystem of humanitarian actors producing data and analytical tools and OCHA has a critical role to play in supporting this by consolidating and sharing available data in humanitarian settings, creating centralised, integrated platforms that serve as a comprehensive resource for all humanitarians.\n\n<strong><span style=\"color: #183761;\">Recommendations:</span></strong>\n\n<strong><span style=\"color: #183761;\">3.1 Centralised platform: </span></strong>Develop a user-friendly, accessible platform integrating existing tools and solutions, facilitating seamless data access, sharing, and reporting; and provide clear visibility to existing tools and data by different actors. The development of the Humanitarian-API (HAPI) by the CHD is promising but should be expanded to other providers.\n\n<strong><span style=\"color: #183761;\">3.2 Granular and disaggregated data: </span></strong>Ensure the availability of detailed, disaggregated data, including gender, age, and disability information. The humanitarian sector has struggled to achieve the basics and OCHA’s leadership is required to effect positive change.\n\n<strong><span style=\"color: #183761;\">3.3 Collaborative engagement with governments: </span></strong>OCHA should use its mandate to strengthen collaboration with national governments to secure access to official datasets, such as national censuses, integrate these into humanitarian planning, and provide support to foster alignment of the humanitarian data system to those of state authorities.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #bd2428;\">4. Advancing Analytical Capabilities</span></strong></span>\n\nTo effectively respond to evolving crises, particularly those driven by climate change, the humanitarian sector must adopt advanced analytical tools and methodologies. OCHA must ensure that data is safeguarded against politicisation, especially in conflict settings, while analysis should remain open to diverse interpretations that account for uncertainties. Too much focus on consensus risks marginalising important viewpoints, particularly in highly complex or ambiguous crises.\n\n<strong><span style=\"color: #183761;\">Recommendations:</span></strong>\n\n<strong><span style=\"color: #183761;\">4.1 Streamlined analytical tools: </span></strong>Consolidate and simplify existing analytical tools and frameworks, reducing redundancy and making it easier for humanitarian actors to access and utilise the tools they need. Favor as much as possible low-tech, open source and interoperable tools to improve accessibility by local actors.\n\n<strong><span style=\"color: #183761;\">4.2 Climate data integration: </span></strong>Prioritise the incorporation of climate data into humanitarian analysis, enabling more anticipatory and effective responses to climate-related emergencies.\n\n<strong><span style=\"color: #183761;\">4.3 Ethical AI and crowdsourcing: </span></strong>OCHA should leverage its convening power to facilitate dialogue on the ethical use of AI and crowdsourcing, ensuring new technologies enhance efforts without compromising ethical standards or humanitarian principles, mitigating against the risk of misinformation, data breaches, and bias.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #bd2428;\">Conclusion</span></strong></span>\n\nBy acting on these recommendations, OCHA can significantly enhance the coordination, credibility, and impact of humanitarian data and analysis efforts. We call for coordination that supports and provides space for independent actors and the data they provide. For shared success, it&#8217;s vital that the organisations involved are adequately resourced and we encourage OCHA and other stakeholders to continue supporting partnerships that enable all actors, especially local and technical partners, to contribute effectively.\n\nAs members of the H2H Network, we are ready to collaborate with OCHA in shaping a more unified and effective humanitarian response. We are committed to bringing our capacities and experience in supporting the development of solutions to the issues outlined, at country and global level.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #183761;\">SIGNATORIES:</span></strong></span>\n\nBram Frouws – Director, Mixed Migration Centre\nChristina Wille – Director, Insecurity Insight\nChristophe Bois – Executive Director, 3iSolution\nColin Rogers – CEO, MapAction\nDaniel Power – Managing Director, Flowminder\nFabrizio Scrollini &#8211; Acting Co-Executive Director, Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team\nKarin Maasel – CEO, Data Friendly Space\nKim Scriven – Executive Director, H2H Network\nLars Peter Nissen – Director, ACAPS\nLuca Pupulin – CEO, IMPACT Initiatives\nMeg Sattler – CEO, Ground Truth Solutions\nPauline Michavila – Co-executive Director, CartONG\nWilliam Barron – CEO, iMMAP Inc.&#8221;},{&#8220;component&#8221;:&#8221;hc_space&#8221;,&#8221;id&#8221;:&#8221;LV4Ha&#8221;,&#8221;css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_styles&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;size&#8221;:&#8221;m&#8221;,&#8221;height&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;},{&#8220;component&#8221;:&#8221;hc_button&#8221;,&#8221;id&#8221;:&#8221;5ZtkF&#8221;,&#8221;css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_styles&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;icon&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;style&#8221;:&#8221;circle&#8221;,&#8221;size&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;position&#8221;:&#8221;left&#8221;,&#8221;animation&#8221;:false,&#8221;text&#8221;:&#8221;Download the Statement Here&#8221;,&#8221;link_type&#8221;:&#8221;classic&#8221;,&#8221;lightbox_animation&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;caption&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;inner_caption&#8221;:false,&#8221;new_window&#8221;:false,&#8221;link&#8221;:&#8221;https://immap.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Joint_Statement_on_Humanitarian_Data_and_IM_1909___Final.pdf&#8221;,&#8221;link_content&#8221;:[],&#8221;lightbox_size&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;scrollbox&#8221;:false},{&#8220;component&#8221;:&#8221;hc_space&#8221;,&#8221;id&#8221;:&#8221;q716M&#8221;,&#8221;css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_styles&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;size&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;height&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;}]}],&#8221;section_settings&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;},&#8221;column_5jJVR&#8221;:{&#8220;id&#8221;:&#8221;column_5jJVR&#8221;,&#8221;main_content&#8221;:{&#8220;component&#8221;:&#8221;hc_space&#8221;,&#8221;id&#8221;:&#8221;xNTLx&#8221;,&#8221;css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_styles&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;size&#8221;:&#8221;m&#8221;,&#8221;height&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;}},&#8221;scripts&#8221;:{&#8220;toolstip&#8221;:&#8221;bootstrap/js/bootstrap.popover.min.js&#8221;},&#8221;css&#8221;:{},&#8221;css_page&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;template_setting&#8221;:{&#8220;settings&#8221;:{&#8220;id&#8221;:&#8221;settings&#8221;}},&#8221;template_setting_top&#8221;:{},&#8221;page_setting&#8221;:{&#8220;settings&#8221;:[&#8220;lock-mode-on&#8221;]},&#8221;post_type_setting&#8221;:{&#8220;settings&#8221;:{&#8220;image&#8221;:&#8221;https://immap.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/JOINT-STATMENT-FINAL.jpg|683|1024|100036423&#8243;,&#8221;excerpt&#8221;:&#8221;As specialised H2H organisations committed to providing independent data and analysis, we welcome the increased focus on these issues, particularly within OCHA’s review of its IM and analysis functions.&#8221;,&#8221;extra_1&#8243;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;extra_2&#8243;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;icon&#8221;:{&#8220;icon&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;icon_style&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;icon_image&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;}}}}</p><p>The post <a href="https://immap.org/news/joint-statement-on-humanitarian-data-information-management-and-analysis/">Joint Statement on Humanitarian Data, Information Management, and Analysis</a> first appeared on <a href="https://immap.org">iMMAP Inc.</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

And humanitarian Cash-Based Assistance (CBA) is seen as an innovative and cost-effective approach to address humanitarian needs, boost local economies, create jobs, and equip communities to cope.\n\nHowever, for CBA to be truly efficient, it needs to be designed with appropriate context knowledge of Afghanistan, a clear understanding of community preferences, household needs, market conditions, and suitable cash delivery mechanisms. To understand community perceptions of cash programs and inform future interventions, we collaborated with the Afghanistan Cash and Voucher Working Group (CVWG) and used remote data collection via the Premise platform. We focused on regions like Herat, Balkh, Nangarhar, Kunar, and Kabul, also taking winterization needs into account.&#8221;},{&#8220;component&#8221;:&#8221;hc_video&#8221;,&#8221;id&#8221;:&#8221;dfHDv&#8221;,&#8221;css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_styles&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;link&#8221;:&#8221;https://immap.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/AFG-ARTICLE-GRAPH-FINAL.mp4&#8243;,&#8221;width&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;height&#8221;:&#8221;500&#8243;,&#8221;autoplay&#8221;:true,&#8221;loop&#8221;:true,&#8221;controls&#8221;:true,&#8221;muted&#8221;:false},{&#8220;component&#8221;:&#8221;hc_wp_editor&#8221;,&#8221;id&#8221;:&#8221;kpO7U&#8221;,&#8221;css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_styles&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;editor_content&#8221;:&#8221;<strong><span style=\"color: #bd2428;\">Key Findings:</span></strong>\n</p>

About <strong><span style=\"color: #bd2428;\">half of the respondents</span></strong> highlighted two major obstacles: the lack of timely data and insufficiently detailed information. For national and local organizations, limited analysis capabilities and a shortage of proper analytical tools pose substantial barriers. The reliability and availability of data also raises concerns. A troubling <strong><span style=\"color: #bd2428;\">30%</span></strong> of respondents questioned the reliability of available data, while 33% reported facing situations where necessary data was simply nonexistent. These findings point to critical gaps in the data ecosystem, emphasizing the urgent need for enhanced practices and resources across all stages of the data lifecycle.\n\nChallenges extend to<strong><span style=\"color: #bd2428;\"> monitoring and evaluation (M&E)</span></strong> processes as well. Limited access to reliable data hinders effective accountability efforts across the sector. However, the nature of these challenges varies by organization type. National and local groups primarily struggle with insufficient capacity and training in M&E methodologies. International organizations, on the other hand, face difficulties in engaging effectively with diverse stakeholders, including local communities and authorities. This gap in experiences suggests that increased collaboration and knowledge sharing among partners could yield significant benefits. Interestingly, <strong><span style=\"color: #bd2428;\">risk management</span></strong> emerged as a top choice for future M&E training topics, reflecting the complex and volatile nature of the operating environment in Afghanistan.\n\nDespite these challenges, the survey reveals a strong desire for improvement. An overwhelming <strong><span style=\"color: #bd2428;\">96%</span></strong> of respondents expressed interest in enhancing their data literacy skills, even though most rated their current abilities as good. While data collection methods are familiar to many, there&#8217;s keen interest in developing stronger data analysis techniques. Improving data quality and validation competencies also emerged as priority areas, aligning with the organizational gaps identified earlier.

I&#8217;m immensely grateful for iMMAP Inc.&#8217;s unwavering support, which equipped me to navigate complex challenges across 16 Middle Eastern countries during my tenure at UNICEF.\&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;style&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;author&#8221;:&#8221;Tareq Abu Khadijeh, Information Management Officer, UNICEF Middle East Regional Office &#8220;}]},{&#8220;component&#8221;:&#8221;hc_space&#8221;,&#8221;id&#8221;:&#8221;tNSYd&#8221;,&#8221;css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_styles&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;size&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;height&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;},{&#8220;component&#8221;:&#8221;hc_wp_editor&#8221;,&#8221;id&#8221;:&#8221;ToboX&#8221;,&#8221;css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;boxed-inverse &#8220;,&#8221;custom_css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_styles&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;editor_content&#8221;:&#8221;<span data-contrast=\"none\">As our project supporting the humanitarian response Syria wrapped up in November 2023, iMMAP Inc. has set a benchmark in supporting the Syria Cluster through empowering local talents in Information Management, which lead iMMAP Inc. marking a durable impact in the region.</span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:225,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">&nbsp;</span>&#8220;},{&#8220;component&#8221;:&#8221;hc_space&#8221;,&#8221;id&#8221;:&#8221;4sf6A&#8221;,&#8221;css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_styles&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;size&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;height&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;},{&#8220;component&#8221;:&#8221;hc_space&#8221;,&#8221;id&#8221;:&#8221;WBA48&#8243;,&#8221;css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_styles&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;size&#8221;:&#8221;m&#8221;,&#8221;height&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;},{&#8220;component&#8221;:&#8221;hc_subtitle&#8221;,&#8221;id&#8221;:&#8221;3nzoK&#8221;,&#8221;css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_styles&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;title&#8221;:&#8221;Read our latest news from the Jordan-Syria office&#8221;,&#8221;subtitle&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;icon&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;style&#8221;:&#8221;base&#8221;,&#8221;alignment&#8221;:&#8221;text-left&#8221;,&#8221;scroll_top&#8221;:true},{&#8220;component&#8221;:&#8221;hc_space&#8221;,&#8221;id&#8221;:&#8221;opQZg&#8221;,&#8221;css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_styles&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;size&#8221;:&#8221;m&#8221;,&#8221;height&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;},{&#8220;component&#8221;:&#8221;hc_column&#8221;,&#8221;id&#8221;:&#8221;column_nnKuS&#8221;,&#8221;column_width&#8221;:&#8221;col-md-4&#8243;,&#8221;animation&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;animation_time&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;timeline_animation&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;timeline_delay&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;timeline_order&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_styles&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;main_content&#8221;:[{&#8220;component&#8221;:&#8221;hc_content_box&#8221;,&#8221;id&#8221;:&#8221;PlCyy&#8221;,&#8221;css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_styles&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;image&#8221;:&#8221;https://immap.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/pexels-ahmed-akacha-15804044-Rescue-effort-in-Idlib-syria-Free-to-use-1024&#215;683.jpg|1707|2560|100033613&#8243;,&#8221;title&#8221;:&#8221;
