Global Pulse and ICT4Peace have established a partnership to exchange views on new developments of mutual interest in particular on ICT tools for early warning to protecting the poor, including organisational and policy issues.

In addition, Robert Kirkpatrick, Director of UN Global Pulse, committed to support the implementation of UN Crisis Information Management Strategy (CiMS) as part of CiM Advisory Group (CiMAG).

Noting the significant overlap and shared goals between the CiM process and Global Pulse, Kirkpatrick noted that what is built as part of the Global Pulse could, and should, serve as a starting point for common architectural requirements.
