Beneficiaries and Disiribution DB description

The humanitarian aid distribution database aims to efficiently manage and track the delivery of aid to beneficiaries in need. The database includes the following tables:

• Beneficiaries table: This table contains information about the households and individuals who are eligible to receive aid. It includes fields such as name, age, gender, household size, income level, and specific needs (e.g., medical conditions, disabilities). Each beneficiary is assigned a unique identifier to track their aid history.
• Distribution events table: This table records information about the distribution events, including the date, location, type of aid distributed, and the number of beneficiaries who received aid. Each distribution event is linked to one or more beneficiaries in the beneficiaries table.
• Address tables: This table contains hierarchical information about the location of beneficiaries and distribution events. It includes the following levels: oblasts (regions), districts, communities, and settlements. Each level is linked to the level above it, with the oblast being the top level. This allows aid providers to quickly identify the locations of beneficiaries and distribution events.
• Questions and answers tables: This table contains information about the questions asked and answers provided during the aid distribution process. It includes fields such as the question text, the answer given, and the date and time of the interaction. This table can be used to identify areas where beneficiaries may need additional support or to track trends in the types of questions asked.

Overall, this database structure allows aid providers to efficiently manage the distribution of aid to beneficiaries in need, track aid delivery history, and identify areas where additional support may be needed.

Expected relationships between the tables in the humanitarian aid distribution database:

• The Beneficiaries table has a one-to-many relationship with the Distribution Events table, as one beneficiary can receive aid multiple times, and each distribution event is linked to one or more beneficiaries.
• The Address tables have a hierarchical one-to-many relationship with each other. Each oblast can contain multiple districts, each district can contain multiple communities, and each community can contain multiple settlements.
• The Beneficiaries table has a many-to-one relationship with the Address tables, as each beneficiary is associated with one community, which is associated with one district, which is associated with one oblast.
• The Distribution Events table has a many-to-one relationship with the Address tables, as each distribution event is associated with one community, which is associated with one district, which is associated with one oblast.
• The Distribution Events table has a many-to-many relationship with the Beneficiaries table, as each distribution event can include aid distribution to multiple beneficiaries, and each beneficiary can receive aid from multiple distribution events.
• The Questions and Answers table has a one-to-many relationship with the Beneficiaries table and the Distribution Events table, as each question and answer pair is associated with one beneficiary or one distribution event.
