#HumanitarianData
📉 Humanitarian data is under threat.
📊 Years of progress in building an independent, diverse, and adaptive data ecosystem risk being lost due to funding cuts.
We must not let the system go dark. Now more than ever, we must #KeepTheLightsOn

Cash assistance💸as Humanitarian Aid flexible, preferred but not always enough
👉 Let’s not just ask what works, let’s ask what works best, for whom & for how long.

💡 Inclusive sampling is a cornerstone of ethical, effective humanitarian response.
@impact-initiatives.bsky.social 's full brief tell us to rethink the “head of household” default.

Are we really hearing from everyone in humanitarian research?
🧭 More inclusivity starts with better sampling.
🧩 Who we ask shapes what we know—and who gets helped.
To put it simply, better sampling = better data = better outcomes.

💡 In a time of shrinking humanitarian funding, studies like this are not a luxury—they are a necessity. They ensure that our responses are evidence-based and child-centered.

🚨 Over 7.8M have fled #Venezuela - 1 in 3 are #children. In #Colombia, youth shared what they need most:
1️⃣ Stronger family & community ties
2️⃣ Access to safe, quality education
3️⃣ Safer public spaces
4️⃣ Multisectoral support
Their voices must guide our response.

"We are talking about a population being starved, forcibly displaced, and bombed, all at once – and being told that they may have to line up for food in fenced-off zones run by private military contractors." Read this oped from Oxfam's Bushra Khalidi: ⬇️
According to this brief from @impact-initiatives.bsky.social
Consequences of plummeting 🌍 funding are :
🌾 Major cuts to food assistance.
🦣 Reduced staffing and capacity across all sectors.
🩼 New arrivals, persons with disabilities, children at risk, and individuals with mental health issues.
#Uganda, the largest refugee-hosting country in Africa, is home to 1.8 million refugees. Despite a progressive open-door policy, the response has been consistently underfunded, now worsened by global funding cuts.

After 2️⃣ years of war in #Sudan, the situation has escalated into one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises 🌍
⌛ It's time for the international community to step up. Ignoring Sudan's crisis is a moral failure and a strategic blunder.

For a people-centered, accountable, and evidence-driven humanitarian response, @impact-initiatives.bsky.social signed the Inclusive Data Charter and commits to enhance data disaggregation, expand participatory approaches, broaden data sources, uphold accountability, & build technical capacities.
We may never know the true impact of the US foreign aid cuts, since losing the funding also means losing the ability to measure. Some colleagues and I wrote about the threat to humanitarian data. @newhumanitarian.bsky.social
🚶➡️After 13 years of conflict, the evolving political landscape in Northeast #Syria offers new opportunities for IDPs to return 🏠 but raises ⁉️ about conditions awaiting them. Up to 40,000 IDPs may return to their areas of origin within a year.

Saddened to learn nine aid workers were killed in an RSF attack on Zamzam Camp. Relief International lost doctors and drivers—some of the last providing care.
Health workers must never be targets.

Très chouette citation ce matin sur @rezo.net
💡A nuanced, data-driven strategy is essential to effectively address the diverse vulnerabilities across #Lebanon as aid remains insufficient and inconsistent for populations faced with limited access to essential services, healthcare sector devastation, food insecurity & economic fallout
🚨 In #SouthSudan airstrikes & clashes displaced 1000s into makeshift camps, where disease and hunger are rampant. Humanitarian efforts face stockouts, broken supply lines & access restrictions. @impact-initiatives.bsky.social's recent assessment reveals a worsening crisis

#Gaza: Amid the ongoing Israeli aid blockade & bombardment, over 2.1 million people are being trapped, bombed & starved again.
In a statement, #UnitedNations humanitarian leaders said, “we are witnessing acts of war in Gaza that show an utter disregard for human life.”
