Machine Learning Approaches to Targeting Emergency Humanitarian Aid


Sponsored by: Computer Science Department
Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories: Lectures & Seminars
Abstract: As Covid-19 spreads in low and middle-income countries, economic disruptions have left hundreds of millions without work or income, precipitating the first rise in global extreme poverty in over 20 years. To offset the pandemic’s most devastating effects, national policymakers and humanitarian organizations are scrambling to provide emergency humanitarian aid to those who need it most. But determining “those who need it most” is difficult in many poor and conflict-affected countries, where official government registries are often incomplete and out of date.
This talk describes ongoing work that leverages recent advances in machine learning, applied to rich data from satellites and mobile phone networks, to target and deliver emergency social assistance. The algorithms we have developed now form the basis for Covid-19 response programs in Togo and N ....

Adding to an already overwhelming global poverty crisis, the pandemic increased the need for humanitarian aid distribution. In December, the UN appealed for $35 billion to be allotted to the 160 million in need around the world. With limited resources, and some countries cutting assistance, it’s important that the very poorest receive funds first. But need is incredibly hard to assess and usually relies on a combination of survey data that’s only sporadically collected, along with a rather limited well of geospatial data. The targeting that results is often indefinite and overly broad. ....
