Colombia Analysis Hub

In 2021, ACAPS joined the Mecanismo Intersectorial de Respuesta en Emergencias (MIRE โ€“ Intersector Emergency Response Mechanism), composed of NRC, AAH, ApS, and MdM and funded by ECHO. The ACAPS Analysis Hub provided analysis on the armed conflict in Colombia and its humanitarian impact and an evidence base for humanitarian decision-making, enabling a more effective and more efficient humanitarian response. The analysis produced by ACAPS furthermore helped to provide visibility to the humanitarian impact of the conflict.

The analysis produced by ACAPS includes analysis of humanitarian needs and trends, thematic analysis, and forward-looking analysis, including risk analysis. ACAPS furthermore provides technical support and methodological advice to the consortium partners.ย 

The project ended in March 2023. Following this first experience, ACAPS established a new consortium with IMMAP and REACH, focused on information management and analysis and led by IMMAP: the EVIDEM consortium (Evidence-based Decision-making). Through this new collaboration, ACAPS willย provide independent analysis and technical support to contribute to a strengthened humanitarian response, creating a robust evidence base for strategic, program and operational decision making. ACAPS analysis products are multi-sectorial in scope, and integrate descriptive, contextual, in-depth anticipatory analysis, using human-centered approach to understand how diverse population groups in complex environments are affected by multiple risks, including a gender and protection approach.ย The association of those 3 partners will allow better coherence and efficiency in delivering information management and analysis products to the wider humanitarian sector in Colombia, including continued support to the MIRE mechanism, and will support better decision making.ย
