Humanity Centered Data

Making humanitarian data accessible for all

What is Humanity Centered Data?

Humanity Centered Data is a free, open-source humanitarian intelligence platform that tracks No current figure forcibly displaced people across 11 crisis regions. We aggregate data from UNHCR, OCHA, IOM, ACLED, and other verified UN sources to make displacement data accessible for researchers, journalists, humanitarian workers, and the public.

Our humanity-centered approach puts human dignity, ethics, and impact at the core of data practices. We believe humanitarian data should be free, accessible, and actionable to help displaced populations.
