Data 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

ACAPS is looking for Data Analysts to fill multiple country-specific and regional roles. Analysts will be responsible for designing surveys, analysing results, producing high quality analysis tables, charts and dashboards and supporting engagement with network members, other ACAPS analysts and consultants to make the best possible use of incoming data.
