A platform designed by us and for us

Our services are restricted for the operational humanitarian community only, including local and international NGOs, the Red Cross, certain UN agencies and our humanitarian donors.

 

If you are part of this community, then please contact us below to start your registration. Our services will always be 100% free of charge, and local NGOs are especially encouraged to apply.

 

Unfortunately, we do not provide support to other types of organisations, or to individuals, but we invite you to explore the data and analysis on this site.
