ACAPS
ACAPS is dedicated to improving the analysis of humanitarian needs in complex emergencies. We provide independent, evidence-based insights to support better decision-making for humanitarian responders. Our CrisisInSight team plays a key role in helping the global humanitarian community stay informed about crises around the world. By collecting and analysing both quantitative and qualitative data, the team produces high-quality assessments and reports that aid effective response.
The INFORM Severity Index (SI) is a critical tool used by ACAPS to monitor and analyse the severity of humanitarian crises globally. The index provides evidence-based insights by evaluating the intensity of a crisis across multiple dimensions, including humanitarian needs and vulnerabilities. It helps decision-makers prioritize response efforts and allocate resources more efficiently by offering a clear, data-driven picture of crisis severity.
The Data Content Reviewer will ensure that the data collected for the INFORM SI adheres to ACAPS’ quality standards and donor requirements.
Purpose of the position
The Data Content Reviewer will be responsible for ensuring the accuracy, clarity, and consistency of data collected for the INFORM Severity Index (SI). This includes reviewing and editing justifications for data inclusion, verifying adherence to ACAPS’ justification templates, and performing fact-checks on sources to maintain data integrity. The Data Content Reviewer will ensure that all data meets both ACAPS’ internal quality standards, and the specific requirements set by donors, supporting the reliability and credibility of the INFORM SI.
As ACAPS continues to evolve its work around the INFORM Severity Index and adjusts its systems, procedures, and structures for more effective and efficient data and analysis delivery, this role will also evolve to meet the changing needs of the organization and the product.
