In crisis response, who is included in data shapes who is visible in decision-making. Too often, the needs of marginalized communities remain overlooked due to data gaps➡️ Inclusive data must be at the core of humanitarian needs assessments.
Our Action Plan www.impact-initiatives.org/stories/comm...

In early 2025, we conducted data collection to map the movement intentions of over 30,000 IDPs in last-resort sites across NES. ⬇️ & 📊https://dashboards.impact-initiatives.org/syr/movement_intentions/
