This form has been developed by the Senior humanitarian officer at Access Now as part of the research on the private tech landscape across humanitarian crises, with a special focus on Registration/biometrics, Data collection and management, Predictive analytics and AI, and Connectivity. To clarify the scope, we would be especially interested in hearing about services provided in high risk areas, mostly related to conflict, man-made, or natural disaster.

The scope of this mapping is to better understand the trends and patterns of engagement between humanitarians and private tech partners, and provide recommendations for improved collaboration ahead.

These few questions will aim to understand the way you and your team have been using technology to support humanitarian programmes globally. If possible, we would appreciate the opportunity to follow up to this form with a 30min call to learn more about the details of some of these projects.

Please specify an email or number only if the one provided to this Google form is not the preferred option for correspondence
What type of organisation is it?
Please select a category as fitting

Please specify the country (or countries)

Humanitarian Tech

This section will focus on the technology used and the services provided.
What kind of humanitarian tech services were provided?
Please indicate most relevant services provided through a commercial or pro bono partnership during the past 4 years. Options are: Data collection and management; Connectivity and Digital Access; Registration, Digital ID and Biometrics; Advanced analytics and AI; Fintech; Other; You can select multiple options

Please select only a short selection of operations in the most difficult humanitarian response in context of conflict or complex disasters, not just all operations and partnerships. Please indicate the country if possible.
Please specify the names for each country/region of implementation (e.g. Tech company A in country B; Aid group C and Tech company D in country E; and so on)

Digital Risk Assessment

This section will focus on the evaluation and assessments done to identify and mitigate risks on people
To the best of your knowledge, were any risk assessment performed prior to the use of most of your digital projects?
Please indicate if on average, the majority of the above mentioned projects performed a risk assessment of sorts, or not. It can be any combination of HRIA, DPIA or other.
Please specify, which assessment was performed. It can be any combination of HRIA, DPIA or other
If yes, were those assessments publicly available at any point in time?
Publicly available include any form of accessible disclosure, from printing to publishing on a newspaper, or in a webpage or in an App section
Please specify, which assessment was performed. It can be any combination of HRIA, DPIA or other
Please specify, which assessment was performed. It can be any combination of HRIA, DPIA or other
Please specify, which assessment was performed. It can be any combination of HRIA, DPIA or other
You can provide a few example based on saliency (e.g. While deploying A tech in B country during C crisis, we were concerned about E happening; While deploying P tech in Q country during R crisis, we were concerned about S happening; and so on…)
To the best of your knowledge, were individuals and communities regularly informed about such concerns and involved in designing the project?
Please specify Yes if this is common procedure across projects, No if this is not a requirement, and Not always if this mostly depends on the field team but there is no global guidance on this.
Please specify if any of the feared risk materialised, and eventually what impact they had on users and communities

Wrapping up!

Just a few final questions to wrap up.
Please provide url to any related blog posts, reports, articles, research.
Please specify name and country of those projects still active as of today.
If not, how long were they deployed for, on average?
Please specify range of years as an estimate average for the most common project duration.
