A solution that was piloted by International Centre for Humanitarian Affairs , now being scaled with Kenya Red Cross. Perfect example of successful pilots and how solutions grow into programs, supporting humanitarian operations. The innovation unit focuses on such pilots to develop learnings & successful iterations.

"Innovators that stay commercial should go commercial with at least one product that will help them sustain themselves for at least 10 years. Find your interest of survival." — Priyanka Patel, KRCS International Centre for Humanitarian Affairs (Research and Learning Centre)

When innovators switch between solutions and products, they miss out on the growth aspect. They loose sustainability and unable to scale, hence not entirely successful. To commercialize, they need to focus fully on that ONE product. #PIW2024 I.O.Me Innovation Labs International Centre for Humanitarian Affairs Kenya Red Cross

We need to borrow from traditional practices, integrate modern technologies in our line of work. If we don’t, our ground will continue to crack, leaving 2 groups, 1 with traditional methods and 1 with tech enabled methods. This cannot be sustainable for humanitarian sector.
