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\u2019s operational support on its fields of intervention.\r\n\r\nREACH 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\u2019s purpose is to promote and facilitate the development of information products that enhance the humanitarian community\u2019s 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.\r\n\r\n<strong>We are currently looking for a Research Manager to lead the AAP portfolio in HQ.<\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Title<\/strong>: Research Manager \u2013 Accountability &amp; Inclusion<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Location:<\/strong>\u00a0Geneva with travel (up to 25% field deployment)<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Contract duration:<\/strong>\u00a0Open-ended<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Start date:<\/strong>\u00a010\/06\/2024<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h4><strong>POSITION PROFILE<\/strong><\/h4>\r\nUnder the direct supervision of the Global Director for REACH, The\u00a0<strong>Accountability &amp; Inclusion Research Manager<\/strong>\u00a0is primarily tasked with overseeing the operational and thematic coherence of the respective activities of unit members and fostering collaboration and complementarities between the work of the Accountability &amp; Inclusion Unit with that of other units within Global REACH.
