Mobile for Development

Mobile for Development

Mobile phones have transformed lives in rich and poor countries alike. Current estimates from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) indicate that of the seven billion people on Earth, over six billion now have access to a working mobile device. Mobile technology is a promising vehicle for improving financial inclusion, education and community engagement while also enabling faster payments, data collection and health advice to assist aid work and meet development goals.

Disaster Risk & Resilience

Disaster Risk & Resilience

Asia-Pacific is the world’s most disaster affected region, accounting for 75 per cent of global human losses and 45 per cent of economic losses and damages due to disasters. This has affected local, national and global economies and prevents poverty eradication and sustainable development in the region. The AIDF summit discusses how new technologies and initiatives help build resilience to disasters and climate change in the region. The event comes at an opportune time as the global community is discussing the post-2015 framework for disaster risk reduction, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the climate change agenda.

Aid & Response Operations

Aid & Response Operations

Logistics is often the most complex element of humanitarian operations, but also the most important one, as an effectively structured and managed relief supply chain can save lives. Growing impact of natural disasters and therefore rising need for ad-hoc humanitarian aid, as well as declining budgets put NGOs and relief agencies been under increasing pressure to ensure their operations are most effective and resource efficient.
