Episode Synopsis

How is the world of digital technology impacting today’s conflict settings, and how can we leverage tech innovations for the sake of the communities we’re aiming to support?  In this episode we’re going to explore the emerging field called "Techplomacy" together with Philippe Stoll, who is the Senior Techplomacy Delegate at the International Committee of the Red Cross.  Philippe shares insights on the intersection between technology and humanitarian action, and tackles the challenges in negotiating with Big Tech companies to better protect and assist populations in conflict zones.   This is part of the third season of "Frontline Negotiators: Stories from the Field". It features personal stories told by humanitarian professionals as they negotiate to access, assist and protect people in crisis. Across the season you will hear first-hand accounts from humanitarian workers from different backgrounds, agencies, nationalities and technical profiles who will share about the challenge of delivering aid in some of the most high-pressure environments in the world. The series is produced by the Centre of Competence on Humanitarian Negotiation. More information at frontline-negotations.org
