IMPACT ASSESSMENT OFFICER – THIRD PARTY MONITORING - JORDAN
BACKGROUND ON IMPACT AND REACH
REACH was born
in 2010 as a joint initiative of two International NGOs (IMPACT
Initiatives and ACTED) and the United Nations Operational Satellite
Applications Programme (UNOSAT). REACH’s purpose is
to promote and facilitate the development of information products that
enhance the humanitarian community’s decision making and planning
capacity for emergency, reconstruction and development contexts. REACH
facilitates information management for aid actors through three
complementary services: (a) need and situation assessments facilitated
by REACH teams; (b) situation analysis using satellite imagery; (c)
provision of related database and (web)-mapping facilities and
expertise.
IMPACT
Initiatives is a humanitarian NGO, based in Geneva, Switzerland. The
organisation manages several initiatives, including the REACH
Initiative. The IMPACT team comprises specialists in data collection,
management and analysis and GIS. IMPACT was launched at the initiative
of ACTED, an international NGO whose headquarter is based in Paris and
is present in thirty countries. The two organizations have a strong
complementarity formalized in a global partnership, enabling IMPACT to
benefit from ACTED’s operational support on its fields of intervention.

camps. Since then, REACH has been closely involved in providing
assessment, research and information management support to UN agencies,
donors and Jordanian municipalities on the front-lines of the refugee
crisis. Our projects have supported local government and international
donors in improving responsiveness to public needs, delivering more
effective services and interventions, and understanding the complex
effects of the crisis on social cohesion and perceptions of local
governments. As well as providing assessments to partners in both camp
