A lot of data producers are motivated by the value that their data can have for humanitarian decision-making. However, in evolving humanitarian contexts, the precision and granularity of data can change, making it challenging to align the right data, at the right time, for a decision.

This session will feature panellists from organisations working on the production and collation of data from multiple sources and pose the question: how can the uncertainty of data, especially when it is new or evolving quickly, be better communicated to end-users, so that they can take strong data-informed decisions?

Every day, humanitarians make life-saving decisions in complex and fast-changing contexts. But navigating these situations requires more than just intuition—it demands clear, actionable insights grounded in evidence. Gathering the right data, interpreting it effectively, and providing solid analysis are essential for ensuring aid reaches those who need it most.

Currently, no formal training for humanitarian analysts exists. Many learn on the job by trial and error. To give humanitarians a leg up in becoming analysts, ACAPS developed the Humanitarian Analysis Bootcamp (HAB)—an interactive online course designed to equip humanitarians with the knowledge, skills, and mindset required to produce high-quality analysis at scale. At this year’s HNPW, we’re offering an exclusive preview of what the HAB has to offer.

Access has long been a focal point of scrutiny in the humanitarian sector, as it lies at the core of effective humanitarian response—regardless of the channel through which it is achieved. Despite numerous campaigns, statements, and evaluations, the conclusions remain the same: there are more obstacles than drivers for access, both from the perspective of humanitarian actors and crisis-affected populations.

How can analysis, data collection, and interpretation shift this dynamic? Can they become the game-changers that drive practical solutions and inform critical decisions, ultimately transforming how access is achieved and sustained?

The 90-day freeze of US funded foreign aid has sent shock waves through the humanitarian sector. This session will discuss how humanitarian outcomes, operational capacities, and the information landscape have been impacted by this abrupt change in the US policy.

To explore this critical issue, we bring together expert voices from several organisations working on analysis of humanitarian space to explore how different actors are navigating financial uncertainty. Panelists will share insights on the real-time impact of aid disruptions on humanitarian response and the affected communities.
