CO Relief Coordination Centre launches an updated version of the SSA Dashboard!
The SSA Dashboard (Sustainable Settlement Assessment Tool) is a platform that collects data on issues and needs at the community settlement level. Open information and systematic analysis help attract resources for implementing projects aimed at the recovery and development of village, settlement, and city councils.
The unique questionnaire consists of eight sections: a general description of the settlement, demographic and security indicators, logistics, urban and social infrastructure, recovery, and civil protection. Data verification is carried out through communication and collaboration with local authorities and territorial community administrations.
SSA is a user-friendly analytical tool that enables:
-quick processing of large volumes of data;
-identification of critical issues;
-informed decision-making for development.
Using the SSA Dashboard significantly accelerates the process of recovery and development in communities.


Access to the dashboard is available after registering on the website
