There are ~135 outputs and and ~490 projects to be added to UN INFO which will be split evenly among the volunteers. For the outputs, the volunteers will need to add the name of the output, choose from a drop-down list the respective outcome it falls under, and choose from a drop-down list the response plan it falls under. For the projects, the volunteers will need to link each project to the respective output & add the following: name of the project, geographical focus, timeline, UN agency/ies, implementing partners, contributing partners, response plan, & funding info(TBC).
