The IDPs Tracker platform was created in the spirit of transparency and accountability to show specific inputs and activities on several humanitarian indicators with their impact. The platform allows for the public to easily find humanitarian data as related to the crisis torn North East Nigeria and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) for actionable decisions and Sustainable Development.
It enables the public to easily find, monitor and measure humanitarian input of known key players. It poses a great opportunity for individuals and groups who want to use or share data, conduct research, create visualizations or understand the gaps in humanitarian efforts, evaluate impact of intervention, and make informed decisions that will bring further development and positive change.
IDPsTracker curates data and information that already exists. Although a work in progress, the next phase for the platform is to have more analytical functionalities and open content that would allow the public innovate, build web and mobile applications, design data visualizations, and a lot more.
We enjoin international and local humanitarian organizations and NGOs active in North East Nigeria to share data with us for publishing on this repository.
