Is digital tech appropriate in a humanitarian response?
A mixed-media, animated video exploring the increasing use, and impact, of digital tools in humanitarian action
Client: Humanitarian Policy Group (HPG/ODI)
From using biometric scanners to distribute cash, satellite mapping to assess flood risk, and social media to communicate with people affected by crisis – digital tools and technology have become a large part of humanitarian responses. But is this always a good thing? Has it made humanitarian action more inclusive?
The Humanitarian Policy Group’s research into the digitalisation of humanitarian action sought to examine these questions, and understand how the increasing use of tech has impacted people affected by crisis. We worked closely with their team to produce a short video exploring the key questions and findings of this research.
