This initiative aims to build a diverse multi-stakeholder online community where humanitarian needs can be posted in real time by national governments, international agencies, local communities, NGOs and other relevant stakeholders. Small and medium-sized enterprise can provide support in services or goods when and where it is most needed, or offer this assistance to other organisations in need, with a view to building resilience in these communities to enable them to prepare for and better respond during crises.
