Analyst (multiple roles, Yemen, regional)

ACAPS Purpose

ACAPS is dedicated to improving analysis of humanitarian needs in complex emergencies and crises. We are independent of specific operational and sectoral agendas or interests, and therefore guarantee objective and evidence-based analysis. Our team supports the humanitarian community by providing up-to-date information on key crises around the globe. By bringing together different sources of secondary (and where appropriate primary) data and using robust methodologies, we move beyond descriptive analysis to explanatory and interpretive analysis: in other words, we enable data to tell us: so what? This enables crisis responders to better understand and thereby better address the needs of the affected population, and at the same time strengthening the assessment ecosystem.

We have a dedicated team of analysts, supported by technical experts in secondary data analysis, needs assessment, scenario building, risk, and analysis capacity building ready to provide:

• Thematic analysis to build a better understanding of context and needs;
• Forward-looking analysis, including scenario building;
• Local analytical capacity building through technical support and training;
• Support to local actors with data management and analysis.
