ADRRN’s stall in the Market Place focussed on ‘talking resilience the local way’, featuring our initiatives on overcoming cultural/language barriers.
On the IGNITE stage, ADRRN presented our accountability project, currently being piloted across disparate geographies in two Indian states. The idea is a real-time and scalable ‘mobile supply chain management’ system. The ultra-simple and intuitive interface can easily be used by NGOs and villagers from mobile phones. Real-time advantages include easy access to donors providing material and financial support; advanced logistical coordination and inventory tracking; and greater donor and public visibility into fund usage.
The idea was enthusiastically received by conference participants.

A rich insight on humanitarian aid, risk reduction and development issues in the Asian region through stories, research papers, books, photo essays and videos.
In the morning of the rain, I was stranded in a tiny building along Commonwealth Avenue.I was there with my sister for a seminar that, like many other engagements that Saturday, would never materialize. I left the house early, thinking it was just one of those rainy mornings where some flooding might delay engagements, but otherwise nothing out of the ordinary
