1H: Shelter cluster Information Management Frameworks and Tools

A strategic approach to information management should be taken, through identifying methods to improve support to core coordination functions. In the early stages of the crisis and in forming the Shelter Cluster Strategy, an information management system should be established. Documents in this section focus on establishing tools and systems through adapting existing global templates as necessary. An activity reporting tool should also be established to facilitate coordination.
