About us
ACAPS works towards remaining free from the bias or vested interests of any specific enterprise, sector, or region. We are not affiliated with the UN or any other organisation or agenda. NO OPERATIONAL BIAS, WE MAINTAIN EDITORIAL CONTROL At the core of the humanitarian endeavour lies the conviction that all people affected by disaster or conflict have the right to receive protection and assistance and live with dignity. This belief springs from the principle of humanity – the idea that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. Humanitarian action is also informed by the principle of impartiality, meaning that response must be equitable to those in need. WE INFORM CRISIS RESPONDERS We aim towards reshaping the humanitarian narrative by providing timely and independent needs analysis, data, training, and methodological tools while advocating a more evidence-based response to crises.

As at 19 April, #floods had evacuated or displaced over 118,000 people, almost 44,000 of whom were children, and inundated around 6,000 homes. The situation could still worsen with a second wave of flooding expected to occur in some regions. The #flooding that started on 27 March 2024 is the result of rapid snow melting and river flooding.

New analysis | #Colombia is one of the countries with the most alarming rates of children’s human rights violations, including child recruitment and use. We have identified that the lack of economic opportunities, state presence and infrastructure, as well as high levels of poverty, are the most significant factors increasing a child’s vulnerability to recruitment and use by non-state armed groups and organised crime groups.
