  • The Value of Information and Communication Technologies in Humanitarian Relief Efforts
    Mark Summer The Value of Information and Communication Technologies in Humanitarian Relief Efforts Innovations Case Narrative: Inveneo I was in a meeting on January 12, 2010, when I heard about the earthquake in Haiti. The moment is still vivid in my mind because we had been working for months with our partner, the EKTA Foundation, on a plan to make information and communication technologies (ICTs) accessible and sustainable in rural areas of Haiti. I had planned to fly to Port-au-Prince with another Inveneo cofounder on January 15, where we were to stay at the now-collapsed Hotel Montana to research opportunities and connect with the local tech community. Then the earthquake struck. It wasn’t until hours later, after trying to reach our Haitian contacts, that we realized the extent of the devastation. Our connections with Haitian colleagues made our commitment immediate and more personal. Later that day, we met with our partner NetHope1, a collaboration of 31 of the world’s leading international humanitarian organizations that share technology best practices. Our conversation immediately turned to the tragedy in Haiti. We had been working with NetHope on a large-scale ICT project for relief camps across the world, but as they counted the number of their member organizations directly affected by the earthquake (20), our conversation shifted to ways we could address their urgent needs. For many disaster response veterans, the Haiti earthquake represents a turning point in our collective thinking about the value of ICTs in humanitarian relief efforts. A range of ICT-focused initiatives have demonstrated that technology— from accessing detailed maps of the affected area, to turning simple SMS messages into life-saving systems, to establishing broadband Internet connectivity to humanitarian organizations—improves both the speed and substance of relief efforts.

No part of this publication may be reproducted or transmitted in any form or by any means, incl uding photocopying and recording, or by any information storage and retrieval system. Foreword The unparalleled disaster in Haiti required an unprecedented response. In the following report we present examples of corporate global citizenship in Haiti following the tragic earthquake of 12 January 2010. The purpose of doing so is to highlight the increasing role of the private sector in contributing to innovations in humanitarian assistance through tri-sector partnerships. We also identify remaining gaps and hope that this report, through raising awareness of these gaps, will help to eliminate them as responses to future disasters. In addition, we would like to stress the importance of continued private sector engagement in Haiti as the nation begins the challenging process of establishing long-term and sustainable economic development. In the January 2008 issue of Foreign Affairs, Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, presented the Forum's vision for corporate global citizenship.
