Resumen
Descripción
Many technologies are now widely used by
humanitarian and development partners to collect data,
improve planning and project implementation, and strengthen
monitoring and evaluation in fragile and conflict-affected
contexts and many other technologies are in the pipeline.
Within the World Bank, there is growing interest to
incorporate technology more strongly into FCV projects; at
the same time, there is also a recognition that technology
is not a “one size fits all” solution, and some technologies
may be more appropriate for certain contexts than others.
This note offers some basic guidance to Task Team Leaders
(TTLs) on how to approach this “new frontier” when
considering the use of technology in FCV health projects.
Five key questions to be answered: i) What challenges can
technology help address in FCV settings?; ii) What basic
enabling factors should be assessed for technologies in FCV
settings?; iii) What risks and limitations should be
considered with these technologies?; iv) How have
technologies been used in World Bank FCV health projects?
and v) What disruptive technologies are on the horizon?
