FOCUS Technical focused Humanitarian initiatives leveraging appropriate use of technology can have a great impact especially in developing countries and under-represented communities. Some examples of technological projects in this context include supporting uptake of technical education, health care, energy production, water monitoring and basic city infractures. Early prototypes may help to showcase the impact of such a project, but also to fill the gap between the technology designs and the real population’s needs in terms of technological solutions. It is necessary to pave the way from needs, design, gahering financial support and prototyping to real implementation and sustainability. Dr Nikar Rokbani will share experiences from deploying technological solutions addressing community needs in Tunisia based on leveraging IEEE resources, volunteers, with a focus on educational programs and technology for health programs.
