We are pleased to announce that iMMAP has signed a Memorandum of Intent with the ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance on disaster management (AHA Centre) — formalizing our commitment to strengthening humanitarian information management across the ASEAN region.
The AHA Centre facilitates cooperation and coordination among ASEAN Member States and international organizations in disaster management and emergency response. This partnership combines the AHA Centre's regional reach with iMMAP's technical expertise in information management, geospatial analysis, and surge capacity.
What this partnership covers:
Emergency Response and Surge Capacity - Rapid and flexible surge support for information management and analysis, delivered both remotely and in-field, to strengthen response operations when crises hit.
Geospatial and Information Management Capacity - Development and enhancement of systems, access to relevant platforms, and structured technical training to build lasting capacity within the region.
Disaster Risk Management - Integrated analysis, mapping, and operational information products to support preparedness, response, and recovery decision-making.
This partnership is a key element of iMMAP's strategic focus on disaster risk management and anticipatory action in the Asia-Pacific and reflects our commitment to working with regional institutions to build more resilient humanitarian systems.
We look forward to this collaboration and to the impact it will generate for communities across the ASEAN region.
The Asia-Pacific region faces some of the world's most frequent and complex natural disasters. This partnership with the AHA Centre is a significant step in ensuring that ASEAN Member States have access to the right data, at the right time, to protect the lives and livelihoods of millions of people. We are proud to bring iMMAP's expertise in information management and geospatial analysis to one of the most important regional humanitarian architectures in the world."
