What is the Humanitarian Profile-COD?
The Humanitarian Profile Common Operational Dataset (COD-HP) is a dataset that seeks to account for, on an ongoing basis, the number of people having humanitarian needs arising from a given emergency. In other words, it is the “caseload figures”, or a count of the number of affected people in an emergency.

the COD-HP important?
- It provides information that facilitates humanitarian planning and needs assessment
- It forms the basis and reference point of any relief operation aiming to deliver aid according to the population’s needs

- It can help humanitarian actors, local and national authorities have the same view of the people affected in a crisis
- It is required throughout the HPC and is used in many OCHA products
When is the COD-HP developed and how does it evolve over the course of response?
The Humanitarian Profile COD is unique among the common operational datasets because of the dynamic nature of its data and the way its composition may vary according to the operational context and priorities of a particular group.
