INTRODUCTION

ACAPS’ Humanitarian Access Overview provides a snapshot of the most challenging contexts for humanitarian access globally.

ACAPS analysts considered nine variables to rank and compare humanitarian access levels against worldwide. Data was gathered per specific crisis at the national, subnational, and regional levels. Information was then aggregated at the country level, and a country score was provided as an indication of the humanitarian access situation.

The December 2022 analysis found that, between July and the end of October 2022, crisis-affected populations in more than 80 countries were not receiving the humanitarian assistance they needed because of access constraints.

Gambia, Papua New Guinea, and Sri Lanka have entered the ranking since the last Humanitarian Access Overview from July 2022.

This report includes scoreboards for all the countries assessed (see page 10). We provided analytical narratives only for countries that scored between 3–5 (i.e. having high, very high, or extreme constraints).
