Assistance Summary Window

The assistance to both individuals and communities may be recorded with this in version 6.0 new object. Assistance is the action that is done for assisting victims. Monitoring of assistance projects may be done with the existing Task module.

Assistance is closely linked to the cause of why assistance is needed and what assistance is needed. The assistance that is given to victims is of different types:
