Résumé
To reduce the impact of disasterrelated shocks, in 2018 the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) invited the World Food Programme (WFP) to provide technical telecommunications support to the country’s disaster preparedness and response. This project arose out of lessons learned from 2013 Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan), in which more than 6,000 lives were lost. The devastation moved the Government to further strengthen the efficiency of its emergency response, with a focus on addressing communication gaps through emergency telecommunications among the response community. This case study highlights insights from the 2022 decentralized evaluation of this partnership. It aims to contribute to the global evidence base on the importance of information and communications technology during emergencies, and possibly inform existing emergency telecommunications strategies and infrastructure in other countries.
