WE Respond Dashboard provides a comprehensive overview of Women and Girl-Focused Organizations (WGFOs) across the Asia-Pacific region. It includes information on their presence, activities, and capacity in gender-focused humanitarian efforts. The dashboard helps in identifying service gaps, monitoring the distribution of WGFOs, and understanding their contributions at various levels, from local to regional. It is a tool for enhancing coordination, identifying needs, and promoting the participation of WGFOs in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery processes.
