Episode 1

The aid sector infoxication issue

Aid sector information sharing requirements:- internal information- information with donors- information for coordination- information with the sector in general…- information with the « beneficiaries »!

Infoxication leads to:- less time spend actually on the projects- lack of clear information organization implies poor sharing of lessons learnt- lesser quality

What could be done?

Episode 2

The NGO adoption issue

August 2008

A group of NGOs gathers itselfto solve their internal infoxication issue

- NGOs are main bridge between international humanitarian system and the beneficiaries- lack of time and infoxication leads to reluctance to adopt additional tools- high turn-over rate leads to difficulty on adoption- lack of funds to be spend out of operational projects

What could be done?
