New module to follow offers of assistance

PAHO/WHO signed a technical cooperation agreement with the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Response Agency (CDERA) to prepare a module for monitoring donor pledges. This module will allow information on supplies to be exchanged before their arrival in the affected country. It will also help in compiling and consolidating requests for international assistance. Although the module is independent from the SUMA package, it is 100% compatible and will be distributed with the software before the end of 1998.
