ICT4Peace advisory to UN

• Pre-planned information-sharing policies robust enough to handle severe crises in a timely manner. This includes policies to leverage crisis-related information generated from outside the UN system and the development of robust data models and data dictionaries that can be shared on demand.

• An emphasis on standards-based information capture and exchange

• Harmonisation of significant variance in agency approaches to and capacities of information management during crises, including human resource management and data-sharing policies.
