Facilitating standardisation and the development of crisis management tools

To improve the capacity of the international community in practice, the project facilitates the development of ICT solutions for international actors engaged in conflict areas. The project supports concrete ICT tools and concepts, which will:

• Facilitate coordination of activities and information flow both within and between organisations in the same area
• Enhance the safety of the mission personnel by creating better situation awareness
• Improve interoperability in the field
• Enhance the development of institutional memory of the mission by ensuring the accumulation of expertise despite rapid turnover of personnel
• Promote cost-effectiveness with a more coordinated use and sharing of resources

One of the key issues in the development process is standardisation. Although crisis management organisations already have a number of commercially available systems in their use, most of them are not interoperable with each other.
