Organisation Profile:
CartONG
Having provided mapping services within UNHCR, the founders of CartONG formed a separate NGO, which informs decision making in humanitarian operations using maps.
It does all the work from collecting the points to make the maps, collecting geographic data, inputting it, making the maps and presenting the information to the decision maker. In all things it seeks to support the cluster initiative and works closely with OCHA to avoid duplication of effort, and to make the maps widely applicable and available.
The organisation also promotes the benefits of mapping in such operations, and provides training, and develops guidelines in support of the whole sector.
