Challenge: Sourcing and Enabling Traditional Disaster Risk Reduction Approaches for Rural Afghanistan and Somalia - Technology Org | By The Digital Insider

on

The International Rescue Committee (IRC), the Seeker for this Wazoku Crowd Challenge, is launching an exploratory research project into integrating indigenous/traditional and modern approaches to disaster risk reduction – particularly those relevant to the environmental contexts in fragile conflict-affected states, with this Challenge’s context being Afghanistan and Somalia. 


Disaster risk reduction (DRR), or how people systematically prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters, is an important part of sustainable development. In fragile and conflict-affected states (FCAS), additional factors increase community vulnerability to climate or weather disasters such as flooding, erratic rainfall, extreme heatwaves, and drought. This means people in Afghanistan and Somalia’s rural region’s lives, livelihoods, and ecosystems are at greater risk and developmental gains are lost through negative coping strategies.


In this Challenge, the IRC is asking for details around existing, effective, and transferable pieces of indigenous or traditional approaches for DRR, or the technological solutions and approaches that could be used to preserve, promote, and enable them.


This is a Prize Challenge which requires a written proposal to be submitted and the total guaranteed award pool will be paid, with awards to at least one submitted solution. By submitting a proposal, the Solver grants the International Rescue Committee a right to use any information included in their proposal.


Submissions to this Challenge must be received by 11:59 PM (US Eastern Time) on April 8th, 2024.
