NetHope Values – Guiding Principles
• Technology (ICT) Matters– NGO Effectiveness depends on technology and
capacity building
• Benefiting all benefits one– Benefiting one also Benefits All
• Learn through collaboration– Learn by doing
• Build for the Field– IT solutions are deployed solutions
• Bias for action– The need for speed, especially for emergencies

What are the key questions?
1. What is fundamental in disaster relief?2. What is fundamental in long-term
development?3. Is technology a benefit to communities in
crisis?4. For SCM, do we bet on on-line or off-line
applications?5. Can SCM be a competitive advantage for
nonprofits?6. What is commodity and what is value-added
for a non-profit?

Stages of a Disaster
Stage 1: Within hours of disaster striking– First relief workers arrive on the ground. – Survey and assess damage, transmit pictures,
security information, relief material and personnel requirements to Head Offices.
– Agencies decide how deeply involved they will be with relief efforts.
– Example: CRS in sectarian fighting in eastern Congo – This is the Highly Individual, Highly Mobile ICT
stage

Stages of a Disaster (cont.)
Stage 2: Within two weeks of disaster striking– Teams begin to arrive on the scene as risk of disease
and malnutrition escalates.– Requirements are continuous monitoring of disaster,
assessment of victim needs, management of relief material deployment between and across aid agencies, personnel security, application and reporting of donated funds, uploading of case studies, pictures and relief reports.
– Example: Relief International in Bam, Iran earthquake – Small Group, Highly Mobile/Temporary ICT stage

An NGO Supply Chain

Country – Sub-Office
• For development, procurement is competitive; for emergency response, procurement is pre-determined
• Beneficiary tracking is key in the NGO supply chain; commercial SCM applications lack this
Procure

Stages of a Disaster (cont.)
• Stage 3 – From one-six months following a disaster striking to multi-year.– Agencies provide resources for building
reconstruction, counseling, family reunification, food distribution, water purification, etc.
– Agencies become part of the community over a long period of time.
– Example: Actionaid in tsunami relief in southern India – Large Group - Permanent ICT stage

A vision of creating new conversations
• Imagine…– Children presenting projects they are doing in a new
education program in Latin America being watched by supporters and benefactors real-time on the web.
– Field offices among a group of NGO’s in Afghanistan and Pakistan collaborating on a new proposal for a new relief program via a video conference
• These are the new conversations of the virtual village

On Leaders and Followers
• First-movers – the pioneers, trail-blazers, fast & agile leaders; but with higher costs and higher risks—requires serious focus
• Second-movers – the fast followers; capitalize on the mistakes/learning of pioneers; follow the successes, but need to overcome the leaders
• Frugal-movers – the pragmatic followers; more cautiously follows industry leaders, picking what works well, waiting for lower costs of entry; may constantly be in catch-up mode
• Late-movers – the laggards, miss most opportunities, resist change; sometimes luck-out
23
Phases of response – Tsunami Relief
• Phase one: 3-4 weeks – Period of rapid deployment of relief workers and aid – Highly mobile, highly individual
• Phase two: 5 month period – Working from base of operations and regional base
camps – Still highly mobile, working in groups
• Phase three: 4-5 years– established field office based operations. – More stationary, working in groups

Intense Situation: Needs
• First: food, water, shelter
• Next: telecommunications (Voice / Data)
26
Food for thought…
• 90% of what we do is in the field, yet the Field Worker has a tenth of HQ technology. Why?
• The law of proximity: whoever is closer wins the attention
Without portfolio management, IT cannot serve the field to the level that is needed

“The new philanthropy is all about leveraging financial resources by investing in the entrepreneurial agents of change—those that have figured out how to scale their impact exponentially. It’s the end of charity as we know it.”
It’s all about Scale

Compelling Hypotheses
There are four hypotheses driving the NetHope Experiment:
1. It is less expensive to share a network than it is do it separately
2. A shared network is less costly, more robust, with greater reach than current solutions
3. Corporate sponsors will support a project that benefits many NGO’s rather than one NGO
4. Compelling applications will drive the network benefit
