The Role of Communications & Information Technology: A New Report
|
|
|
|
 The two disasters experienced by Haiti in 2010 – the January earthquake and the October outbreak of cholera – provided an opportunity to address “a long-acknowledged gap in humanitarian response: the way in which aid agencies share information with and listen to those affected by the disaster." A new report, Ann Kite Yo Pale or Let Them Speak, explores the role that communication and innovative use of communications technology (particularly mobile phones and web-based technology) had in the response to this double disaster.

Global Health Reflections on 2011
|
|
|
CCIH Member, David Olson shares in his article, the Top Ten Global Health Development Communications Stories of 2011: "From global health to climate change to political systems, we've seen health improved, lives saved, policies changes, and governments overturned when we harness these new information pathways effectively."
In the article, 10 Global Health Achievements in 2011, global health milestones of the past year are reflected upon with celebration. These include the continued decreases in malaria cases, "treatment as prevention" as a means to reduce HIV, success between private and public sectors working to improve sanitation and hygiene, and government avoidance of making major cuts to foreign aid budgets.
Pray with us for the milestones of 2012!
