Data details

Name Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX)
Note The Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX) is an open platform for sharing data across crises and organisations. Launched in July 2014, the goal of HDX is to make humanitarian data easy to find and use for analysis. The growing collection of datasets has been accessed by users in over 250 countries and territories. HDX defines humanitarian data as: data about the context in which a humanitarian crisis is occurring (e.g., baseline/development data, damage assessments, geospatial data); data about the people affected by the crisis and their needs; data about the response by organisations and people seeking to help those who need assistance.
