Sahana workshop in Göteborg
I have attended the Sahana workshop in Göteborg (Sweden) last Sunday, where we discussed about the deployment of Sahana for the management of recurrent flood disasters in Mozambique.
This deployment is part of the IRMA project (Integrated Risk Management for Africa), which is a European research project funded by the European Commission.

The Sahana team will support building up a local Sahana cluster in Mozambique mainly by sharing knowledge with local developers, in terms of providing developer trainings and participating in an on-site Sahana workshop later this year. Starting within this project, we hope to build sustaining capacity and an active community for Sahana in Africa.
