In every humanitarian crisis, decisions are only as effective as the information behind them. Yet across emergencies worldwide, humanitarian actors continue to face persistent barriers in accessing, producing, sharing, and using the data they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Humanitarian Information Landscape Assessment (HILA) \u2014 was designed to address that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Co-led by iMMAP<\/a>, CartONG, the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT<\/a>), and Kobo<\/a>, and endorsed and supported by ICVA<\/a>, InterAction<\/a>, Sphere<\/a> and H2H Network<\/a>, HILA is a global, standardized initiative to measure the health of humanitarian information ecosystems and identify the systemic barriers that prevent evidence-based decision-making on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n HILA assesses five critical dimensions of humanitarian information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00b7 Availability \u2014 Is the right information being produced?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00b7 Accessibility \u2014 Can actors find and access it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00b7 Quality \u2014 Is it reliable and fit for purposes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00b7 Use \u2014 Is it informing decisions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00b7 Awareness \u2014 Do actors know what exists?<\/p>\n\n\n\n On 15 July 2026, we launch the first global HILA survey \u2014 a short online survey (under 20 minutes) designed for humanitarian practitioners in crisis settings: cluster IMOs, analysts, sector coordinators, program managers, data producers and users across all organization types, including decision makers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The survey will be available in English, Spanish, French and Arabic. Responses feed a live public dashboard on https:\/\/hila-survey.org\/, launching 15 September 2026<\/strong> \u2014 disaggregated by country, sector, role, and organization type, and updated in real time as data comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The survey runs every six months, making HILA a sustained global monitoring system \u2014 not a one-time snapshot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As humanitarian needs grow and resources tighten, understanding where information systems work \u2014 and where they fail \u2014 has never been more critical. HILA will give humanitarian leaders, donors, and operational partners a shared, comparable evidence base to guide investment, coordination, and response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take part. Share widely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We invite all humanitarian practitioners to participate and to help us reach colleagues across clusters, IMWGs, and coordination networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udc49HILA survey<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n For questions or partnership inquiries, contact: a_laulhere-vigneau@cartong.org<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A global survey to map the gaps in humanitarian information ecosystems.
