Provision of information management support and information system enhancement for UNMAS Iraq
The Objective of this project was to fully operationalize the UNMAS SMART (System for Mine Action Reporting and Tracking), maintain its components and further develop the system. SMART was designed to implement the integrated and harmonized information management approach of UNMAS Global IM Solution (IMS). In addition, through advanced data processing, GIS mapping, and statistical analysis, we developed digital tools that improved hazard identification, operational planning, and risk mitigation in areas liberated from ISIL. Our work facilitated informed decision-making for humanitarian actors, ensuring safer and more effective explosive hazard management across Iraq.
Information Management Resource Center (IMRC) for Syria
3iS supported the Syria crisis response by establishing the Information Management Resource Center (IMRC) in partnership with OCHA and with funding from the Swiss Development and Cooperation. Through IM capacity building, change management, and information management support tailored to the needs we have supported local and international NGOs and the cluster mechanism, by enhancing their data management, coordination, and decision-making. The IMRC developed also internship programs which have been particularly successful , not just providing to the response additional qualified and trained human resources in information management but also creating employment opportunities for new graduates.
Improving local coordination and capacities for a more efficient data collection and data analysis with the objective to inform key stakeholders in Venezuela
3iS supported civil society organizations in Venezuela by strengthening their disaster preparedness and information management capacities. This project funded by the DG-ECHO and in partnership with Oxfam and HumVenezuela enhanced Venezuelan CSOs' ability to respond, monitor, and advocate within the humanitarian system. Through the deployment of innovative approaches, such as the Anticipa Chatbot, we have been able to train CSOs in disaster preparedness and management. Our efforts contributed to better data collection, informed decision-making, and greater community engagement in the response to this crisis.
Information and analysis support to the humanitarian response in Burkina Faso
3iS supported the humanitarian response in Burkina Faso by establishing an Information and Analysis Unit to improve data collection, analysis, and visualization for crisis responders. In collaboration with OCHA and the H2H Network, we enhanced coordination, developed data-sharing platforms, and provided technical support to humanitarian clusters. We have also delivered tailored capacity building to international and national actors including clusters, INGOs and local NGOs as well as the local authorities. Our efforts strengthened decision-making processes, ensuring more effective assistance for displaced populations affected by the escalating crisis.
System development support for the Kuwait Environment Public Authority (KEPA)
3iS led the development of an interactive web dashboard for the Kuwait Environment Public Authority (KEPA) in collaboration and with funding from UNEP. This tool visualizes the Kuweit State of Environment Report, providing decision-makers with real-time data to identify environmental trends, support disaster preparedness, and enhance sustainability efforts. 3iS has developed this interactive system and has trained KEPA for an autonomous management of the platform. By improving data accessibility the project strengthens environmental monitoring and informed policymaking in Kuwait.
Information management services to humanitarian and development organizations in Malawi
In Malawi, 3iS worked with the UN Resident Coordinator’s Office and WFP to enhance information management for disaster response and development planning. The project, funded by USAID and WFP, has seen 3is leading on mapping data ecosystems, organizing a Data Summit, and providing technical training, with the objective to strengthened the capacity of government agencies and humanitarian actors in data management in disaster response. Our efforts improved data collection, analysis, and visualization, ensuring better coordination and informed decision-making in emergency preparedness and response.
Strengthening Humanitarian Information Management in Malawi for Enhanced Response (SHIMMER)
Through the SHIMMER project, funded by Flanders and WFP, 3iS enhanced Malawi’s disaster response by improving information management coordination and capacity. Working with key stakeholders like the UN-Resident Coordinator Office, the Department of Disaster Management Authority, and WFP, we streamlined IM tools, facilitated data-driven decision-making, and developed critical reports and dashboards, including the National Disaster Recovery Framework. We have also conducted capacity building for DoDMA at district level, enhancing their capacities in information management at time of disaster. Our efforts ensured better preparedness, response planning, and long-term resilience for disaster-affected communities.
Rapid Response Mechanism in Nigeria - information management support
In Nigeria, 3iS strengthened the Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) led by UNICFE by closing critical information management gaps in emergency response efforts. We developed a Geospatial Mapping system, improving spatial decision-making and intervention tracking for UNICEF and the other RRM partners in Nigeria. Additionally, we provided IM support, assessments, and training to RRM partners, enhancing their ability to respond effectively to humanitarian crises in the region.
Evidence for humanitarian action - EVIACT Consortium: improved access to coordination of assessments, analysis, and information management services and related capacity-building for humanitarian actors in crisis-affected areas of Ethiopia
3iS leads the EVIACT (Evidence for Humanitarian Action) Consortium in Ethiopia which has the objective of enhancing coordination, data analysis, and capacity-building for humanitarian actors in crisis-affected areas. In partnership with IMPACT Initiatives and ACAPS, we provide information management support, develop digital platforms for data sharing, provide independent analysis support assessments and deliver training to strengthen decision-making. Our work improves the humanitarian response efficiency by transforming data into actionable insights across key sectors and in support of international and national stakeholders active in the response.
Information workflows change management to the Iraqi Red Crescent Society
To support the efficiency and enhancement of the Iraqi Red Crescent Society's (IRCS) information management workflows, 3iS developed a digital data management system, replacing paper-based reporting with a centralized online platform. This system enhanced data accessibility, security, and visualization, improving decision-making. Alongside capacity-building programs and technical support, 3iS also assisted IRCS in disaster risk reduction and COVID-19 response through interactive dashboards, strengthening their ability to track, analyze, and respond effectively to humanitarian needs.
