Quarterly Performance Report April-June 2014 for Grant # AID-OFDA-G-10-00127

The project's overall goal is to provide a common operating picture concerning humanitarian coordination and security. The project objectives are to improve the safety and security of humanitarian field operators, enhance and integrate current databases of humanitarian projects and activities, provide a Common Operating Picture of humanitarian data and baseline indicators of the humanitarian situation, identify hazardous areas and populations-at-risk, and improve currently available datasets. iMMAP has maintained its OASIS system in Afghanistan since 2009, with 79 organizations installed and 167 installations, and approximately 149 trained users. During the reporting period, iMMAP provided 5 new packages and trainings to 2 organizations, including organizations working on Afghanistan issues remotely from outside Afghanistan. Other UN Agencies, NGOs, and Cluster lead organizations are using OASIS to bring together agency-specific programmatic information with the common operating picture delivered through OASIS. Examples from this reporting period include the increased use of OASIS for Mine Action coordination with new installations and trainings for UNMACA. New or updated datasets that were developed and provided to clients via maps and OASIS exclusively during this reporting period include livelihood flood mapping, flood risk mapping, security incidents summary, local (civilian) population targeted in security incidents, rapid assessment reporting, natural disaster IDPs mapping, common operating picture for DRR, selected provincial disaster and assessment mapping using satellite imagery, CoAR school mapping, Save the Children school mapping, and provincial security incident maps. The following new maps were produced and/or published in the reporting period: Afghanistan: Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development - Social Protection Directorate - Disaster Assessment March to April 2014, Afghanistan: Salam Watandar Agriculture Radio Program: Telephone Requests, Afghanistan: IOM Humanitarian Assistance Program (HAP) Stock update at 27 February 2014, Afghanistan: Maydan Wardak Province - Observed security incidents 2007-2013 for all the monitored categories, Afghanistan: Kabul Province - Observed security incidents 2007-2013 for all the monitored categories, Afghanistan: Khost Province - Observed security incidents 2007-2013 for all the monitored categories, Afghanistan: Laghman Province - Observed security incidents 2007-2013 for all the monitored categories, and Afghanistan: Paktya Province - Observed security incidents 2007-2013 for all the monitored categories. iMMAP has continued to provide timely and critical information products to a variety of humanitarian actors to improve the humanitarian community's overall situational knowledge, response, planning, decision making, and coordination. Key information products developed and disseminated by iMMAP have been used by humanitarian decision makers in the field, at regional, national, headquarters, and donor capitals. In particular, iMMAP information products continued to provide key guidance in the development of flood contingency plans and other programs for Disaster Risk Reduction and Response. The project has made significant progress in identifying populations at risk to various disasters, and this report will demonstrate progress in those areas. The project has also provided information management support to the Cluster groups directly involved in relief operations and the inter-cluster coordination mechanism. The following coordination bodies have benefited from iMMAP support during Q2: Food Security and Agriculture Cluster (FSAC), Protection Cluster, and Education Sector. iMMAP has continued to produce regular flood risk maps at the request of the FSAC Early Warning Group, and completed the USDA/UCDavis/Salam Watandar eAfghanistan telephone assistance map. iMMAP has also continued to provide technical support to UNHCR for their Population Movement Tracking database and assistance for the World Bank/MoE DT3 project, including over 4500 schools mapped and planning ToT/Participatory mapping exercise.
