It extends to the wider humanitarian community, government and the public. The main uses include: * Managing relief * needs - authorized users to report a aid request * Donor (aid supplier) - - commit supplies (cash, in-kind, goods, services) - dispatch (items/services), - monitor the delivery & return of supplied items and services (logistics) * Reporting * publish situational-reports and management summary reports * display of relief activities in list form, on a geographical map === Real Need for Eden === The real need for a solution was recognized during the onset of the 2017 Southwest Monsoon instigated flood and landslide events in Sri Lanka. The [https://lk.one.un.org/un-in-sri-lanka/un-resident-coordinators-office/ UN Resident Coordinators Office] (RCO) of Sri Lanka, supported by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) [http://www.unocha.org/roap Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific] (ROAP), developed a simple 3W (“Who does What Where”) template. * 3W was: * simple and intended to capture the responding agencies activities and responding locations * reflected on a map of Sri Lanka as a visual aid. * eventually adapted into a 4W (“Who does What Where, and When”) * 4W was: * an enhancement to capture other details such as donors, responsible agencies and implementing partners. * exceeding the capacity of the RCO to conduct mapping of the 4W (i.e. only the raw data was released) * reliant on the manual regular distribution of the template, followed by manual “cleaning” of the data. The HCT in the Lessons Learned Action Plan of 2017, determined that the Sahana EDEN platform should be explored as an option to improve these methods. The ShaRe Hub would be developed as an Eden template that can be deployed to server other HCT and UN RCO teams in other countries. === Value to the Humanitarian Community === 1.

The need for ShaRe, in Sri Lanka, stems from the past major flood event experiences in 2016 and 2017. Analysis of the lessons learned realized the need for a Sahana solution. The project began in January 2018 and the first instance is scheduled to finish by the second quarter of this year. The implementation is made possible through funding from the UN-RCO in Sri Lanka. == Planned Implementation == == Future Extensions == List of features which could be included, but are outside of the scope of this extension * HDX outputs of the data * Hashtagged SMS for submitting requests == Outstanding Questions == Questions about the features or design that require clarification ==== Do you need to model sectors and sub-sectors with hierarchy? ==== Eg. Child Protection, Animal Protection, Gender-based Violence Protection to all be sub-sectors of the overarching “Protection” sector? ==== How do we know whether a request is authentic? ==== * Requests generated by an organization could be considered valid because they are requesting based on some kind of a needs assessment (hopefully!) and the organization takes responsibility for accountability of the received goods based on such requests. * Requests that are made by community-level individuals, whether its a Local Government Official (e.g. Gramaseveka Niladari) or any other official or a community leader, then there would be a slight hesitantation from potential 'donors'. Not to imply that the official is lying, but it's well experienced that sometimes government officials exaggerate the post-disaster needs so that they could cover up ongoing development-related needs. For example, if the GN division A has 100 households and 50 of them need support to build toilets, and from floods only 10 toilets were damaged, there is a possibility that the official would report 60 damages so he could cover up an existing need through disaster relief. ==== Do you need to use UN-OCHA symbols? ==== http://www.unocha.org/story/ocha-launches-500-free-humanitarian-symbols * In what context and with what functions or features ? == References == * [https://www.ochaopt.org/dbs/4w United Nations 4W for Palestine] == Current Status == [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DhC10Luj1vWd-3jtmO8yCUIGnoxRRNO2OcB43p0gOrY/edit?usp=sharing Fit-gap analysis for UN RCO project] ==== Available features ==== ==== Missing features ==== 1.
