  9. Beneficiary communication (BC) The development and implementation of processes that allow us to engage more effectively with the individuals and communities we work with. Beneficiary Communication uses both traditional and high tech methods to open up channels of communication In Asia Pacific 5 NSs are implementing Beneficiary Communication (Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Myanmar, Bangladesh) and 4 National Societies are preparing proposal to work on beneficiary Communication. Partnership support from Asia Pacific in implementation of BenCom in Africa: • Support from regional post for East Africa and Indian Ocean Islands: • Rwanda – monthly radio shows in 5 districts on health issues and disease prevention • Burundi – mobile cinema in 4 districts to tackle cholera • Kenya – TERA SMS system to provide early warnings and other community-based messages • South Sudan – BC inputs into emergency appeal West Africa: support for Ebola response operations in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria • Sensitization and awareness-raising to address stigma and encourage prevention/protection • Activities include radio, SMS and face-to-face visits

  10. SURGE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEMPhilippines Typhoon Haiyan Response The Surge Information Management System (SIMS), a support service to the global surge tools, seeks to define, coordinate and advocate for improvements to IFRC disaster information management, proactively setting the groundwork for effective systems to collect, organize, and convey important information during emergency response The Typhoon Haiyan response was the largest deployment of Red Cross Information Management specialists ever. SIMS directly supported the response on the ground through: • Deployment of 6 dedicated Information Managers, who tracked, aggregated and reported on response data. • Deployment of 8 members of the SIMS working group filling roles including IT/Telcoms, Health, Beneficiary Communications and Shelter Cluster mapping. Building a Better Response Moving forward, SIMS will evaluate impacts and lessons learned from the Typhoon Haiyan response and use these lessons to shape the development of Red Cross information management moving forward.

  11. "What is MEGA V“ and ODKImproving Beneficiary registration • MEGA V is a relief distribution software developed in the Americas Zone originally for Haiti earthquake relief operation. It was designed to be used by volunteers to carry out distributions in the field in the simplest way possible. • MEGA V now has more than 3 years of field-testing and evolution. The success of the tool has been the simplicity of the configuration and ease of use, as it is friendly enough to be used by someone without technical skills or database management background. • MEGA V has been developed to support imported data from smartphones using the ODK platform. Volunteers receives a quick induction in registration of beneficiaries using the smartphones provided. Once data is uploaded to ODK database, the data is used to provide a dataset for MEGA V distributions. • ODK/MEGA V was tested in Haiyan Operation in Philippines, IFRC and Philippines RC are looking for the adaptation of the system in Asia Pacific.

  12. Resource Management System (RMS) RMS is an integrated and web-based system which manages staff, volunteers, membership, ware-housing and assets with geographical mapping (GIS), project tracking and vulnerability tracking features for national society and secretariat staff. • 14 National Societies are implementing RMS in Asia Pacific and 5 more are in the process to adapt the system. • Asia Pacific is sharing its experience in implementation of RMS in Africa as follow: -IFRC Africa Zone currently using RMS for RDRT management and alerts. -MalagascarRed Cross Society is interested to implement RMS.
