Humanitarian Overview: An analysis of key crises into 2018

With the Humanitarian Overview we aim to provide analysis in order to better understand future developments. ACAPS has identified 17 major humanitarian crises, reaching 18 countries, where we see acute challenges for the humanitarian community. We focus on countries where the crisis trend indicates a deterioration in 2018 and a corresponding increase in need. We have also included countries where the crisis is not predicted to worsen, but is likely to remain severe: Ethiopia, Iraq, Nigeria, Palestine, Sudan, and Syria.

The report aims to offer an independent perspective to help inform and support humanitarian decision-makers and field workers. Our evidence-based approach combines quantitative and qualitative analysis, which allows a deeper understanding of the context.
