ACAPS is an independent analytical voice helping humanitarian workers, influencers, fundraisers, and donors make better informed decisions and respond more effectively to disasters.
At the core of the humanitarian endeavor 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.
ACAPS works towards remaining free from the bias or vested interests of any specific enterprise, sector, or region and is not affiliated with the UN or any other organisation or agenda.
