HAC3 DISCO-DHRIVE

Enhancing Humanitarian Response with Privacy-Preserving AI

DISCO-DHRIVE-DIStributed  COllaborative learning for Data-driven Humanitarian Response in Insecure and  Volatile Environments

Optimizing  Humanitarian Response by Using and Incorporating Secured Data with DISCO-DHRIVE.

Data collected in humanitarian responses is rarely shared in  real-time and is often never shared at all for a range of valid reasons  related to privacy, ethics and practicalities. Yet shared data could be  extremely valuable to guide the optimization of humanitarian action, evaluate  its impact, and improve transparency and accountability. DISCO-DHRIVE seeks  to build and validate a privacy-preserving DIStributed COllaborative learning  platform to meet the ICRC’s needs and enable continuous learning for  data-driven humanitarian responses. The implementation strategy covers:  Building a suite of AI models adapted to ICRC needs without sharing any data;  adapting the DISCO platform to the specific challenges of humanitarian  contexts; and creating a structured dialogue within the ICRC data protection  unit to evaluate the technology’s use in routine practice.
