Pagos digitales
La tecnología digital está transformando la manera en que respondemos a las emergencias. Las innovaciones abarcan desde cómo identificar a las personas elegibles para recibir asistencia, hasta la recopilación de datos para evaluaciones y monitoreo, así como la comunicación con las comunidades afectadas por situaciones de crisis. Los sistemas de pago digital, incluidos los dispositivos móviles, cupones electrónicos y tarjetas (cuando se utilizan apropiadamente) pueden proporcionar asistencia más oportuna, más segura, más eficaz en relación al costo, y más inclusiva. Sin embargo, a medida que el volumen de los datos personales que recogemos, almacenamos y compartimos sobre la gente crece, debemos garantizar que nuestros sistemas de protección de datos se mantienen al día, y que comprendemos y mitigamos los riesgos inherentes a las nuevas tecnologías.
