HUMANITARIAN TECHNOLOGY INITIATIVE

Humanity, connected.

Digital Cross is exploring how responsible artificial intelligence, secure digital systems and institutional memory can strengthen humanitarian action.

MISSON

Technology in service of humanitarian action.

Humanitarian organisations work in environments where information is fragmented, teams change frequently and critical knowledge can disappear. Digital Cross begins with a simple question: how can today’s technology help humanitarian organisations remember better, understand faster and coordinate more effectively — while keeping people in control?

ORIGIN

Born from real humanitarian systems experience.

Digital Cross grew from first-hand experience designing and implementing digital infrastructure inside the humanitarian sector, including early communications systems at the IFRC.

The project starts from a practical question: what could humanitarian organisations achieve today with modern AI, secure cloud systems and connected digital agents that was difficult or impossible to achieve before?

INITIAL FOCUS

Three areas where Digital Cross begins.

Institutional Memory

Preserve organisational knowledge, decisions, reports and operational context so critical information remains discoverable and useful over time.

Humanitarian Coordination

Connect information across teams and operations so people can understand changing situations, share context and coordinate decisions more effectively.

Responsible AI Agents

Develop specialised agents that can observe, verify, organise and recommend while keeping human responsibility and approval at the centre of important decisions.
