It also examines the complex challenges and risks these technologies present in humanitarian settings\, from adequate data\, data protection and privacy to digital inequality\, sustainable investments and conflicts of interest in public-private-partnerships. \n\n\n\nThe report identifies several enablers and guardrails\, including local front-line leadership and equitable access to technology; bottom-up approaches that put people at the centre; a digitally literate cadre of humanitarians and adequate\, representative data; ambitious and sustainable coalitions across sectors; governance that keeps pace with technology; and investments that mirror ambition. \n\n\n\nDuring this event\, co-hosted by the Kingdom of the Netherlands and OCHA\, speakers will discuss the promises and pitfalls of new technologies\, and how to realize the ‘digital promise’ for the humanitarian sector. \n\n\n\nFeatured speakers include:\n\n\n\nMark Lowcock\, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator\, United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsBirgitta Tazelaar\, Deputy Director-General for International Cooperation\, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of the NetherlandsMaria Francesca Spatolisano\, Assistant Secretary-General for Policy Coordination and Inter-Agency Affairs and Officer in Charge of the Office of the Secretary-General’s Envoy on TechnologyJohn Frank\, Vice President for UN Affairs\, MicrosoftCindy Issac\, Deputy Head of Office\, Somalia\, United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER URL:https://www.humanityhub.net/calendar/from-digital-promise-to-frontline-practice-new-and-emerging-technologies-in-humanitarian-action/ LOCATION:The Hague Humanity Hub\, Fluwelen Burgwal 58\, The Hague\, Netherlands ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.humanityhub.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/from-digital-promise-ocha.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
