Description
The need for humanitarian assistance is on the rise. A recent report from the UN OCHA estimates that 235 million people worldwide currently require assistance and protection. New partnership models and innovative tools and approaches are crucial to address this growing humanitarian challenge. As a result, mobile technology is now critical to the success of disaster response efforts and the delivery of humanitarian aid. Policymakers and regulators need to better understand how they can support these efforts through effective policies. This two days course looks at the role of policymakers and mobile operators in disaster response management and the effect they can have on the acceleration of aid delivery during and after a humanitarian crisis.
