Description

This article looks at some of the constraints facing humanitarian data and information exchange in the Horn of Africa, and reviews possible solutions. It suggests that, at national and regional levels, there is a need to build up the voluntary but formal institutional arrangements for information exchange. Technical services or ‘warehouses’ should store, compile and disseminate data, while providing basic technical support to humanitarian partners.
