Transparency & Accountability

I learned more about what washappening in Haiti in ten minutes

of perusing the site than in the

past ten months.-Business owner

The map shows the scope of each agency's humanitarian work

on the ground, which makes it a valuable tool for transparency

and accountability.-Oxfam America

The depth of information being displayed will set the bar high

for other organizationsto supply similar information.-Anonymous feedback from the site


7/13

Partnerships & Coordination

It is a great tool to understand what

the donor landscape is and where

international NGOs are concentrating

their efforts. It allows us to better

understand where there are overlapsand who the organizations should be

coordinating their work with.-Feedback from website

It will be a good tool for us in the field to know who else is

involved in communities around Haiti. Good job and I hope

this kind of design is done in other areas of the world.-Church World Service

Partnerships & Coordination

As we seek to work in partnership

with other NGOs, we would refer to

the site to understand which NGOs

work in each specific geographical

area and their areas of expertise. As

an agency that has had a long-termpresence in Haiti, were often asked

to refer other organizations

operating in Haiti. This tool allows us

to respond to such requests as it

provides so much relevant

informationall in one place. In this

regard, it offers one-stop shopping.-Save the Children

Improved Decision Making

Haiti Aid Map is the first tool we

reference when planning an

assessment or when seeking to

identify potential partners. It

gives us a quick overview of who

the major players in a geographicarea and a snapshot of what they

are implementing - and helps us

to identify underserved

geographic gaps and potential

partners with similar

approaches.-Mercy Corps
