Sahana Phase I deployment for Pakistan Asian Earthquake OCT-2005 Relief Response
Sahana phase I is being deployed in Pakistan togeather with the support of NADRA (National Database and Registration Authority of Pakistan and IBM Pakistan. NADRA has a comprehensive people database as they build and maintain the central system that maintains the registration of people (identity card, passport, etc) in Pakistan, however the system is not web based and under tight security controls. Thus Sahana fills the gap of making the data accessible to the other organizations involved in the relief effort such as the NGOs. Apart from that NADRA does not have the equivalent of the request management system and organization registry. Deployment is currently in progress..
