Working with civil society organizations to harness powerful information and data – the world

Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) provide much of the world’s humanitarian aid, build resilience against disasters and advocate for many of the world’s poorest people. Enabling them to benefit from information technology and data, in line with other parts of the humanitarian sector, should be a priority.

MapAction works with several networks of civil society organizations, to explore how we can share our knowledge of humanitarian mapping and information management. We had a session at Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Week (HNPW) that was aimed at sharing our range of experiences, highlighting learning and challenges and seeing more CSOs being supported in this way.

The session included speakers as follows: – Alan Mills – MapAction (chair), Takeshi Komeno – Asian Disaster Reduction and Response Network (ADRRN), Mayforth Luneta – Center for Disaster Preparedness (CDP) and ADRRN, Gemma Davis – MapAction, Elise Belcher – Network Global Civil Society Organizations for Disaster Reduction (GNDR), Primož Kovačič – Spatial Collective, Surya Shrestra – National Society for Earthquake Technology, Nepal (NSET) – ADRRN and GNDR).

The session aimed to highlight the huge amount of information management carried out by the civil society sector. It was also a space to identify the barriers that prevent CSOs from collecting, using and sharing data, not only within CSO networks but between them and with governments, regional agencies, and international humanitarian systems. We wanted to share our experiences working with civil society organizations and use this platform to advocate for more support for these valuable organizations.

It also looked at how the humanitarian sector can better support CSOs and accelerate their adoption of new technologies for information management, mapping, data science, etc., as we all struggle with a wide range of anticipation, programming, monitoring and evaluation challenges.

In addition to looking at bottlenecks, the session looked at some challenges, such as: how to access quality information; Avoid misuse; allow easy and effective exchange of information; And how can organizations be able to do all this given the already imposed funding and capacity constraints.
