Jenny Casswell Tuesday 20 July, 2021 Blog | blog | Global | Mobile for Humanitarian Innovation | Refugees and forced migrants I was delighted to take part in the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) DigitHarium series last month. DigitHarium is a global forum to discuss and debate digital transformation within the humanitarian sector, with a focus on humanitarian protection, policy, ethics and action. Every month, the DigitHarium discusses a new theme, examining the implications for humanitarian action and exploring solutions. These discussions occur through monthly Digital Dilemmas dialogues and debates, as well as regular blog articles and podcasts offering a range of perspectives. The fifth month of this series focused on the theme of “Connectivity as Aid” and in the dialogue session ICRC’s President Peter Maurer stated that “powerful demand for digital transformation is coming from – first and foremost – affected populations.” This reinforces the fact that connectivity is not a nice to have, but increasingly a basic need and a human right.
