Africa Operations Map
Mapping humanitarian, development and operational activity across Africa. Explore where organisations and programmes operate alongside the security, humanitarian and access environments surrounding those activities.

Whole-dataset figures
Every figure below is recalculated from the stored dataset, follows the country filter, and refreshes on its own while the page is open, so the totals change as new source records are stored. Humanitarian presence and needs figures come from UN OCHA HDX (HAPI); development activity comes from organisations publishing to the IATI Registry. These are counts of stored records, not continuous monitoring.
Needs figures stay on the individual record with the area and reference period the publisher stated. They are not added together, because source rows count people by cohort and would double count.
Countries by activity records
Stored activity records per country. Record counts reflect publisher reporting, not the size of an operation.
Sectors by activity records
Sector labels are taken from the publisher's own classification.
Dataset composition
How the stored dataset splits between humanitarian presence, development activity and reported context records.
- Humanitarian presence (OCHA HDX)1,053

- Context records634
Organisations by activity records
Organisations with the most stored records. Reporting frequency differs between publishers.

Operational activity and reported context
Counts show records in the current filtered view. Co-location is an observation, not proof of causation or an assessment that a project is unsafe.

Provenance & data architecture
Source → ingestion → normalisation → geographic mapping → analysis
Public operations data
Activity, organisation and needs records are drawn from UN OCHA HDX (HAPI) operational presence and Humanitarian Needs Overview data and from the IATI Registry. Publisher, dataset reference and reference period stay attached to every record.
Security intelligence
Security and political markers come from published INGO ADVISORY intelligence records. They are source-reported or analyst-reviewed records, not a claim of continuous real-time monitoring.
Geographic precision
Country, region and corridor records remain at their supplied precision. Exact coordinates are never inferred when a source provides only administrative geography.
