Organisational Context

ACAPS is an independent humanitarian analysis organisation that supports evidence-based decision-making in crises. Working with a wide range of partners, ACAPS transforms complex data into clear, actionable insights that help humanitarian actors prioritise needs, allocate resources, and design effective responses.

As the organisation enters a new chapter of institutional growth, it is actively seeking experienced professionals who are motivated to help build systems, contribute to innovation, and strengthen analytical capacity across humanitarian and climate-related domains.
