Paiements numériques
Les technologies numériques transforment la manière dont nous répondons aux urgences. Les innovations sont multiples : elles concernent l’identification des personnes ayant droit à une aide, la collecte des données pour les évaluations et le suivi ou encore la communication aux communautés affectées par la crise. Les systèmes de paiement numérique, dont les appareils mobiles, les coupons électroniques et les cartes, lorsqu’ils sont utilisés de manière appropriée, peuvent accélérer, sécuriser et optimiser l’assistance, la rendant également plus inclusive. Toutefois, le volume de données personnelles que nous collectons, stockons et partageons augmentant, nous devons nous assurer que nos systèmes de protection des données restent pertinents et veiller à comprendre et atténuer les risques associés aux nouvelles technologies.
