| As we enter 2024, the humanitarian system is once again facing a situation where the scope of needs will likely surpass the available funding to respond. In this context where humanitarian financing struggles to fully meet both persistent and emerging needs, it is more important than ever to ensure that a
robust, comparable and people-centred evidence base is informing a fair and impartial prioritisation of humanitarian assistance at both country and global levels. In this newsletter edition, we delve into the role of the 2023 REACH facilitated-Multi-Sector Needs Assessments (MSNAs) in reaching this goal.
| | In 2023, REACH conducted MSNAs in 18 countries, interviewing over 167,000 households worldwide. This comprehensive data captures the views and preferences from hundreds of thousands of affected individuals and plays a pivotal role in global and national humanitarian planning processes such as the Joint Intersectoral Analytical Framework (JIAF), Humanitarian Needs Overviews (HNOs) and Humanitarian Response Plans (HRP).

| Launching the 2023 interactive MSNA storymap This year, to support the release of 2023 MSNA findings, we introduced
the MSNA storymap—an interactive platform designed to offer you an accessible and centralised means of exploring key findings across all countries where MSNAs were rolled-out. As the 18 countries release their bulletins, it will be regularly updated, providing real-time access to finalised and published bulletins by country teams.
| | | Looking ahead to 2024 As we step into the new year, REACH maintains its commitment to supporting annual humanitarian response planning by providing decision-makers with a reliable evidence base on the needs, vulnerabilities, and preferences of crisis-affected people. In 2024, we will continue to conduct MSNAs in relevant crisis contexts, providing reliable, comprehensive, and independent data to inform strong responses
