24 May 2023

It accompanies the publication of the ACAPS Information Landscape Dataset and gives guidance on the analysis of the information landscape (or ‘information ecosystem’) in humanitarian settings, the events and trends that affect the lives of people in crisis, and the humanitarian organisations operating at global and subnational levels. [...] Organisations can adapt the information indicator analysis to the subnational level to contribute to country-level analyses and products and inform humanitarian organisations’ analysis and decision-making around access constraints, community needs, and factors relevant to community engagement and accountability. [...] In the context of information events in humanitarian crises, the most relevant form of censorship and self-censorship for monitoring and analysis is that which results from the actions of entities with malicious intentions.

[...] Each line in the dataset includes information exclusively relevant to one event indicator.  The collected data goes through a review process to check the completeness, validity, and reliability of the information included as follows: Step 1: the data collectors regularly gather data to feed the information event indicators dataset.
