South Sudan protracted disasters: localizing digital aid
South Sudan is highly exposed to emergency events, such as floods, droughts, disease outbreaks and famine, posing substantial risks to the population.
In 2024 the ERT arrived to South Sudan to support the RISE consortium of community-based organizations with digital tools to collect and share vital information, mobilize resources, and collaborate across the teams.
RISE is equipped with the digital tools to conduct comprehensive assessments, produce real-time reports, improve coordination among 8 organizations, while engaging donors in evidence-based programming.
On February 6, two massive earthquakes rocked southeastern Türkiye. According to the latest statement of AFAD (Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency), 45,089 people lost their lives. 115,000 people were injured.
During 2023, Ethiopia faced multiple emergencies, including conflict in the Tigray region and severe drought conditions. This resulted in violence, displacement, and a dire need for humanitarian assistance.
A few days after the Ukraine war broke out, with thousands of refugees escaping the border, the ERT arrived at the Moldova and Poland border crossings to offer support to both government and humanitarian aid organizations.
