Completed in May 2021, the project's first phase was funded primarily by the Philippine Government with additional financial support from USAID and WFP. In line with DICT's mandate to assist in information dissemination through ICT to reduce the impact of disaster-related shocks, this unique partnership has drawn on the expertise of WFP's global Emergency Telecommunications team. The GECS-MOVE project is integral to WFP's work in the Philippines, and its commitment to enhance national and local government's capabilities to reduce vulnerabilities and shocks by 2020 - a core objective in WFP's Country Strategic Plan (2018-2023).
