Mission
We aspire to increase the efficiency and sustainability of aid projects by making it easy for the diverse actors in the development community to connect, collaborate, and share information.
Problem
The impact of development aid falls far short of its potential. Inefficient practices are systemic due to a disconnect between development organizations, obstacles to sustained learning, limited insight into localized needs, and a failure to promote capacity building amongst local stakeholders.
A Unique Solution
CollaborAid will be a social networking website with innovative mapping, survey, and virtual conferencing components. Our three core objectives are to:
- Encourage knowledge sharing and collaboration within the aid community
- Incorporate local stakeholders into the development discourse
- Concentrate on opportunities and information at the community level
Incentives
The CollaborAid Community is designed with the needs of all of our future users in mind. We have collected feedback from staff members and administrators from organizations of all sizes, as well as from local stakeholders. The website's functionality takes into account the concerns of each group and offers valuable services that will benefit all users.
