Organization
iMMAP is an international nongovernmental organisation that provides information management services to humanitarian and development organizations. Through information management, we help our partners target assistance to the world’s most vulnerable populations. Our core philosophy is that better data leads to better decisions and that better decisions lead to better outcomes. iMMAP’s critical support to information value chains helps to solve operational and strategic challenges of our partners in both emergency and development contexts by enabling evidence-based decision-making for better outcomes.
Background
The GBVIMS is a multi-faceted initiative that enables humanitarian actors responding to incidents of GBV to effectively and safely collect, store, analyse and share data reported by GBV survivors. It supports harmonization of data collection by GBV service providers in humanitarian settings. It enables the safe and ethical sharing of reported GBV incident data. The United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA) is the sub-sector lead agency for GBV and is responsible for the in-country coordination of the GBVIMS. Its implementation effectively took off with monthly reporting of data from Data Gathering Organizations (DGOs) in April 2016 and rolled out in May 2015. As the scope of GBVIMS expands, so do the information management needs for effective coordination. As such, the National IMO will support the scale up on the GBVIMS across the emergency states and specific LGAs and ensure long term sustainability of the GBVIMS.
