Twine project Gnucoop

In the last eight months, Gnucoop has been working for UNHCR to improve and re-design the Twine platform. Twine is a web application used by UNHCR staff and its partners to collect data, analyse and generate reports at different levels: from refugee camps worldwide to country offices up to regional and HQ level. The type of information concerns healthcare, water and sanitation, nutrition, and food security sectors. Data collection is done using several tools, from paper form to digital forms and mobile apps. The platform is available at the following link: http://twine.unhcr.org/app/.

UNHCR - Jordan - Service Advisor

Find services availble to refugees in Jordan. This tool allow humanitarian partners to identify services avaialble for refugees and to access the information about the referral system in place. In areas inundated with refugees—like Jordan has become since the civil war in neighbouring Syria displaced millions of people—both humanitarian workers and people in need depend on aid services. Knowing where to access aid, what types of services are available, and when the organizations offering assistance are able to provide it—in real-time, with a map, and accessible on mobile phones—could make a huge difference in the lives of refugees and the capacity of humanitarian aid organizations. Gnucoop, with Affinity Bridge and PeaceGeeks, built a map called Services Advisor for the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) that give refugees and aid workers a way to find available resources from wherever they are, using their smartphone. Services Advisor visually displays data from UNHCR's ActivityInfo system which provides information on sources of aid, locations and capacity of organizations offering assistance to refugees, and the kinds of resources available to those in need. http://bit.ly/1VJuNPQ

Cumo

Gnucoop has developed an ODK mobile-web application to monitor micro-credits activities for CUMO, a Malawian NGO specialized in microfinance. ODK forms allow CUMO field staff to collect and send information directly from their smartphones while conducting field activities. The forms record information about groups applying for loans and data is sent to a customized web application where information is gathered, visualized and linked to the existing local database.
