This site hosts information related to the HumanitaRian-useR-group. This group is open to Humanitarian Information Management officers from any organisation. The initial group was created in November 2018 after a workshop in Amman funded by UNHCR.

The idea is to:

  • Share and disseminate some interesting approaches.

  • Link up colleagues for potential code peer review

  • Organise regular webinars using different format: panel discussion, one long in-depth talk, a couple of shorter talks or open-mic “quickfire” talks…

Why R statistical language?

R has many advantages

  • It is the Analysis lingua franca

  • It facilitates Reproducible analysis: from data cleaning to final reporting

Why this group?
