21. ICT4Peace advisory to UN
• Pre-planned information-sharing policies robust enough to
handle severe crises in a timely manner. This includes policies
to leverage crisis-related information generated from
outside the UN system and the development of robust data
models and data dictionaries that can be shared on demand.
• An emphasis on standards-based information capture and
exchange
• Harmonisation of significant variance in agency approaches to
and capacities of information management during crises,
including human resource management and data-sharing
policies.
