Help ensure the Ecuador is "donation ready" for the next disaster!
WHY: SmartResponse.org makes sure donations reach those most in need the next time disaster strikes Ecuador. DAP (an independent watchdog of disaster relief and humanitarian aid) is recruiting a volunteer team to help us identify, engage, and collect data from local [nonprofits/civil society organizations] in the Ecuador to ensure donations reach the most deserving organizations after the next disaster.
Ecuador Outreach Volunteers are asked to assist with the following:
Data Collection / Engaging Organizations:
Identify local ONGs/CSOs/NGOs involved in disaster relief & human services.
Facilitate outreach/support efforts with the identified ONGs, CSOs, and NGOs
Time Commitment: 4-8 hours per week

Disaster Accountability Project saves lives and reduces suffering by maximizing the effectiveness, efficiency, and equity of disaster preparedness, response, relief, and recovery through oversight, transparency, advocacy, and public education.
DAP is the leading nonprofit organization that provides long-term independent oversight of disaster management systems.
DAP engages a dedicated community to advance policy research and advocacy, promote transparency, and encourage the public to participate in oversight, community-based organizing, and discussions about disaster preparedness and relief.
Dedicated citizen oversight is necessary to ensure resources dedicated to preparedness, relief, and recovery are effectively utilized, communities are sufficiently engaged and more resilient, and best practices and lessons learned are implemented so mistakes are not repeated.
Prior to the creation of the Disaster Accountability Project (DAP), there was no dedicated, independent oversight of the agencies and organizations responsible for these critical life-saving responsibilities.
This is a Virtual Opportunity with no fixed address.
