WFP

Location:

Cambodia

Summary

InSTEDD iLab SEA supported WFP Cambodia in customizing our open source platform “Resource Map” and “Verboice” to facilitate the creation of integrated real-time information systems within NCDM and MoEYS.

The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) in Cambodia has leveraged the latest technologies to develop new approaches to information management and to the functioning of WFP’s programmes.

Platforms for Real-Time Information Systems (PRISM) is a project that aims to integrate these approaches and technologies into government information systems, with the goal being to transform routine government information and reporting streams into real-time, actionable platforms for decision-making.

The core objective of PRISM is to integrate government information flows and display this information in real-time in an interactive, user-friendly geographic platform (linked across ministries), informing development activities and emergency response decisions as well as facilitating implementation of social protection programmes.

Within the PRISM project, WFP is currently working with the Primary Education Department (PED) of the Ministry of Education Youth and Sports (MoEYS) and the National Emergency Control Centre (NECC) of National Centre for Disaster Management (NCDM).

Announcement

InSTEDD would like to express our sincere appreciation to all of our partners for the years of exceptional collaboration with the InSTEDD iLab Southeast Asia and for your contribution to its success in providing important solutions for social good.

Our original vision when we established the iLabSEA was that it would ultimately become a separate entity, locally owned and operated, in a model that provides social benefit and fits within the local economy. After 13 years of service to our local community, we are thrilled to announce that InSTEDD has closed our iLabSEA and the team from the LabSEA has now established an independent social enterprise organization, Kawsang.

We are confident that Kawsang will continue to provide the excellent service that has become their leadership team’s standard.

We are excited to have you join us in celebrating the success of realizing our vision for the iLabSEA and we very much appreciate your participation in this success and continued collaboration with Kawsang.
