AidHedge showcased at Aid and International Development Forum Africa Summit
Aidhedge was recently showcased at the second annual Aid and International Development Forum Africa Summit. The summit, held in Nairobi 28 February — 1 March, gathered senior decision makers for discussions on the improvement of aid delivery and development strategy.
The aim of the practice-led conference was to share programme and policy updates, explore innovative solutions and facilitate effective cross-sector partnerships needed to improve aid delivery and development strategy in sub-Saharan East Africa.
The first day of the summit focused on mobile technology supporting community resilience, data strategy, infrastructure and camp management as well as lessons learned from recent drought crisis. The second day was dedicated to building Africa’s capacity to meet health SDGs and deal with public health threats.
As a new feature of the Summit, Planet of the Apps presented mobile applications that support SDGs in the region. The showcased apps included, apart from AidHedge, ReliefWeb, ConviFarm, Agribusiness TV, E-ukulima, Share The Meal and ETC Reporter.
Planet of the Apps is a competition launched to showcase innovative apps that support humanitarian aid and development in Sub-Saharan East Africa. The first showcase was in September 2016 at the Global Disaster Relief Summit 2016 in Washington D.C.
