How DigiCap works

DigiCap deploys a small team of experienced digital advisors who support humanitarian coordination structures in emergency and disaster settings. Working alongside interagency leadership and operational partners, the team helps address digital coordination challenges and strengthen how technology supports the overall response.

Advisors bring expertise in areas such as:

  • digital governance and responsible data management
  • ethical and accountable use of technology
  • interoperability between systems
  • digital infrastructure for humanitarian coordination
  • practical digital planning in emergency settings

DigiCap helps develop shared approaches that support collaboration across organisations, ensuring that digital tools contribute effectively to humanitarian response.

Supporting coordinated responses

In many emergency responses, multiple organisations rely on different digital systems and processes. DigiCap helps humanitarian partners navigate these complexities by advising on shared digital approaches, strengthening coordination, and supporting responsible data practices. By helping systems work better together, DigiCap contributes to more efficient, accountable, and collaborative humanitarian operations.
