3. Surveys : 

 1. Geo Tagging: possibility to add the geographical dimension to Article, Groups, Users, Peer Support questions, Vacancies, site-wide surveys. Geographical pages were created (8 Regions: S-S. Africa, Latin America and Caribbean, EU Neighbourhood and Russia, Asia, Gulf region and Pacific, EU Candidate and Potential Candidate Countries, OCTs, EU MS, Rest of the World. The Geo pages follow the same concept as the Topic Pages: they provide a single entry point pooling together all contents from the platform tagged as relevant to a Region (or country of a region).

2. Peer Support: It is a tool through which colleagues can ask other colleagues for help on specific issues they might be facing. Using this functionality they can ask a question and tag the question as relevant to one or more topics and regions. In turn these questions will be posted in the relevant region / topic pages and an email will be dispatched to all capacity4dev.eu members that have declared being specialists on the said topic (and have accepted to receive questions).

3. Surveys: A survey module that can be used both within groups and site-wide. It enables users to quickly set-up a survey that will help them collect results in an user-friendly way and offering possibilities to visualise results but also export them (excel and other formats) to facilitate processing.
