# PROBLEM & SOLUTION (CHEN)

## Problem Statement
Talofa Lava and welcome to Project Toloa; Project Toloa hopes to solve a problem statement currently faced by PIANGO, a regional organization maintaining a network of NGOs from around the Pacific Region.

 Part of their work includes Coordinating and ensuring the participation of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) on important topics of discussions. However, There is a clear lack of tools  to properly track and collate information from CSOs across the region.   

## Solution (Inspiration behind name Toloa)
THIS IS WHERE PROJECT TOLOA COMES IN…

Our solution is a fully optimized and scalable web application called TOLOA. 

The name TOLOA, as we have chosen for our solution, comes from the native Samoan bird Toloa. The Toloa bird is known for its harmonious cry which it uses to communicate. This is synonymous with our vision for Toloa, a tool to be used by PIANGO to communicate and network with its regional partners. 


## Features of Toloa
Toloa will provide PIANGO with a way to track and monitor TOPICS 
as well as any discussions and contributions - which can be in the form of text, comments, file or attachments - 

There will also be a fully functional analytics feature to provide valuable insights and metrics to help with decision making.
