From the Education Sector perspective, what iMMAP is doing with the deployment of IMOs in different sectors, is the heart of Coordination function. The Sector was able to get verified and confirmed data from the field because of the IMO’s support who did his best to understand the approach in Education in Emergency and went on to develop adaptive tools.

The Rollout of ReportHub in the WASH Sector has improved the systematic and timely collection, analysis, and sharing of WASH response monitoring information. We then took it further with the development and implementation of the python-based Automated Monthly Reports (AMR 1.0), which extracts data from the ReportHub database and automates data analytics and choropleth mapping in as little as 3 seconds.

With the support from USAID OFDA, iMMAP Nigeria will continue supporting all humanitarian sectors operating in the northeast through information management and coordination services, in order to provide the actors involved with a more accurate picture of the situation on the ground that will facilitate a more cost-effective humanitarian response.
