The Centre for Humanitarian Data has developed a Guidance Note on Data Impact Assessments to support humanitarians in conducting assessments for their data management activities. The note includes guidance on how to decide whether to do an assessment, as well as several examples of data impact assessment tools. The Centre developed this note in collaboration with the International Committee of the Red Cross, Privacy International and UN Global Pulse.

The Centre for Humanitarian Data and the collaborators on this guidance note recommend that organisations focus on the following areas:

  1. Design standard data impact assessment tools
  2. Develop the capacity to conduct assessments
  3. Share data impact assessment outcomes
