Krogerus in collaboration with Crisis Management Initiative (CMI) in Governance out of a Box project
Krogerus participates in Crisis Management Initiative's Governance out of a Box (GooB) project. The project is part of CMI's Crisis Management Programme and it is created to help governments recover from a catastrophic crisis. It will offer tools for implementing the priority processes and function of civil administration during the post-conflict reconstruction phase. GooB offers a system to more effectively link local needs with internationally recognized governance tools.
Crisis Management Initiative (CMI) is an independent, non-profit organisation that innovatively promotes and works for sustainable security. CMI works to strengthen the capacity of the international community in comprehensive crisis management and conflict resolution. CMI was founded in 2000 by its Chairman President Martti Ahtisaari. The headquarters of the organisation are in Helsinki, Finland.
The first field test of GooB will be executed in Liberia. The purpose of the test is to build a birth and death register and maintenance processes for Liberia's public administration. In addition, system architecture and procurement models will be created with the purpose of supporting Liberia, and other countries recovering from a conflict, to implement a comprehensive population management system in reconstruction phase. The field tests will be executed by a consortium. Krogerus' expertise is used by Pro Bono basis in parts where legal know-how is needed.
