The UN WFP Food Request Portal based on Sahana goes live

The UN World Food Program Food Request Portal based on the new SahanaPy framework went live last week and I hope it will serve to bring efficiencies to food distribution between WFP and their Implementation Partners in Haiti. This was however yet another instance where we had to rapidly change Sahana and build a totally new module for a live requirement and it certainly was not easy given the availability of most of our people is part-time. As part of this deployment hover we have learned a lot of new best practices that we should apply in the future.
