ReliefWeb Tech Stack
UN humanitarian information platform for crisis response and aid worker coordination
ReliefWeb operates as OCHA's specialized digital service, aggregating reports, maps, and job listings for humanitarian workers responding to global crises. The hiring velocity is accelerating across 25 countries—concentrated in conflict and disaster zones (Lebanon, Yemen, Myanmar, Ukraine, DRC, Afghanistan)—with operations-heavy staffing (234 roles) and significant mid-level hiring. The tech stack is primarily Adobe Creative Suite + mapping tools (ArcGIS) + survey platforms (KoboToolbox, CommCare), reflecting a content-and-coordination operation rather than a technology platform.
