Nomatic*Aid is designed to link donors, non-governmental relief/aid agencies and fieldworkers together into a communication network. It's a socio-technical system which leverage three technology components (a website, a database of managed aid projects and a mobile computing platform in the field) with organizational structures present in aid work. The primary goal of the system is to make the use of donated money more transparent to donors by using geo-tagging technique to identify donations and an email system to feedback donors.
