Sudan Analysis Hub

ACAPS is establishing a new Analysis Hub covering the humanitarian situation in Sudan.

Under the supervision of a Team Leader, the Hub will be constituted of one Senior Analyst, three Information Analysts, one Data Analyst and one Data Collector. The team will be based in Nairobi and Amman.
