The Pan-Africa Humanitarian Information Network (PAHIN) was
established in Nairobi in June 2006, as a major outcome of the
global Humanitarian Information Management Network. PAHIN is a forum
for promoting humanitarian information management best practices, as
well as a platform to support advocacy for more resources, capacity
development in Africa. A wide continental partnership is needed to
address fundamentals information requirements for an effective
humanitarian action in Africa. PAHIN is opened to the African
humanitarian community. The South African Humanitarian Information
Management Network (SAHIMS) has agreed to host PAHIN on its website
and provide initial secretariat support to the network. During the
first quarter 2007, SAHIMS will deploy a web base set of tools to
allow the African humanitarian information community to gather and exchange.
