Understanding the triple nexus: The challenges of creating synergies between humanitarian, development and security policies

Hosting a substantial portion of the world's poor and displaced populations, fragile countries and territories ('fragile contexts') are characterised by weak governance and vulnerability to crises, and often prone to conflict.

In a world where control of #communication networks is increasingly centralized, #DIYnetworks offer an independent alternative. This presentation shows how to build up your own autonomous #meshNetworks with low-cost hardware components and open source tools such as #Reticulum and #MeshChat. We will present practical steps for the construction, configuration and integration of sensors, communication and computing power. We are also discussing how such #networks can be used in #humanitarianCrises, such as the organisation of aid measures through solidarity initiatives.

This workshop offers a detailed journey through the world of do-it-yourself radio networks and #autonomousCommunication structures. Using an exemplary system structure, we show how to realize cost-effective, flexible mesh networks with #LoRa #RNode, Reticulum and MeshChat. In doing so, we not only dedicate ourselves to the technical requirements – such as the optimal hardware selection, antenna adaptation and network planning (keyword “Network Planning 101”) – but also consider how these technologies can be used for #humanitarian purposes, for example at #CADUS.

Myanmar earthquake: My first MapAction field deployment I haven’t posted for a few weeks because I went to Myanmar to help after the earthquake struck. MapAction sent me and my team leader to join the team from UNDAC (United Nations Disaster Assessment and Coordination). Our goal was to produce maps and information for the humanitarian response, specifically: search and rescue, needs assessment, and distribution of aid. The country was in disarray after the earthquake, and has a sensitive political situation (a mild term for civil war), and these factors sometimes limited what we could do. It took a long time to get in, and to travel from the old capital of Yangon to the new one, Naypyidaw. However, even before we arrived in the field, we were working manically to prepare daily maps for the assessment teams. On this platform I mostly share trip reports and personal projects. I wasn’t in Myanmar to explore, but managed to observe a few aspects of the country and its rich culture while in transit, shown here: local clothes (longyi) and skincare (thanaka root paste), tropical scenery, and splendid pagodas. We were based in Naypyidaw, a surreal garden fortress, but sombreness was banished from the empty, cracked corridors was by the camraderie of our team and the welcome of the local people. For these people, the recovery will continue for many months, and MapAction will continue to help.

Typical #Americans who are #Imperialists while saying they aren't.

Does #KyleKulinski realize that #USAID isn't a #humanitarian hub arm to help poor countries like #Africa, right?

Its literally #Imperialism via #financial coercion & other stuff like the #US cutting off aid to other foreign countries not being able to pay them back.

Some elements of that office, including a bureau for #democracy & #HumanRights & one for #refugees, would be cut & *folded into* an office for foreign assistance & #humanitarian aid [the same one they folded #USAID into] acc/to the reorganization chart posted on the #State Department website.

Pope Francis, first Latin American pontiff who ministered with a charming, humble style, dies at 88

Pope Francis was history’s first Latin American pontiff who charmed the world with his humble style and concern for the poor but alienated conservatives with critiques of capitalism and climate change.

Pope Francis, first Latin American pontiff, dies at 88

Pope Francis has died at age 88. The first Latin American pontiff charmed the world with his humble style and concern for the poor. But he alienated conservatives with critiques of capitalism and climate change. From his election, the Argentine-born Jorge Mario Bergoglio signaled a different papacy, embracing refugees and the downtrodden, especially following the troubled tenure of Pope Benedict XVI. But conservatives grew increasingly upset with Francis’ progressive bent, outreach to LGBTQ+ Catholics and crackdown on traditionalists. He badly botched a notorious case of clergy sexual abuse in 2018. Bells tolled in church towers across Rome on Monday, and in the evening the Vatican began a Rosary prayer in St. Peter’s Square in its first public commemoration.

#TedKoppel did typically brilliant #reporting on the Easter #CBSSundayMorning show, about US #foreignaid cuts.

Some of the world's poorest people like in #Nigeria and #Afghanistan will die to the cruel, shortsighted dismantling of #USAID and impact on the #IRC

It's pathetic that America's #humanitarian reputation and efforts are being trashed in the vile assertion that #taxpayers don't want to pay for this crap!

The dangers posed by cuts to U.S. foreign aid

Trump's policies have targeted American foreign aid, and with it the humanitarian groups whose work it funds around the world. "Sunday Morning" looks at the impacts of cutting the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID.

The Bureau for #Humanitarian Assistance would absorb the remnants of the #USAID, which has been gutted over the last two months by #MarcoRubio & other members of the #Trump admin.

As for personnel, the memo said, the department needs to move from its “current outdated & disorganized generalist global rotation model to a smarter, strategic, regionally specialized career service framework to maximize expertise.”
