The Challenge

The Emergency Telecommunications Cluster (ETC) provides common information and communications technology (ICT) services to the humanitarian community in emergency operations. ETC projects and services are contingent upon effective assessments carried out to determine needs in operational areas. While the ETC has an Excel-based assessment tool, this has not been fully utilized and optimized. Currently the majority of ETC assessments carried out are often rapid, adhoc ‘look-see’ and end without reports that can be shared with the humanitarian community.

Proposed Solution

There is need for a solution to address the challenges outlined above. This requires an adaptive mobile data collection application that should be designed and developed to enable initial, rapid and in-depth ETC assessments by participating organisations.
