1.0 Organizational Context

The Response Innovation Lab’s role is innovation on the ground in humanitarian contexts – real time solving of problems in large-scale humanitarian emergencies and protracted crises such as earthquakes, typhoons, civil war and unrest. Similar to business, there are problems, both simple and complex, that are often only visible on the ground.

Our aim is to complement the traditional humanitarian system by adapting interventions and methods of humanitarian operations to more effectively meet the needs of populations affected by crisis. The RIL develops, tests and rolls out proven concepts that overcome context-specific problems or barriers to aid delivery and community recovery. On the ground amongst humanitarian agencies, innovations will work toward reducing the suffering of those affected by crisis and help communities to recover faster and build back better.

The Response Innovation Lab (RIL) is an interagency global partnership, whose original founding members include World Vision, Oxfam, Save the Children, Civic George Washington University that operates in Iraq, Jordan, Uganda, Puerto Rico, Somalia, South Sudan and Yemen. The RIL is hosted under the SomReP consortium (lead by World Vision) in Somalia.

2.0 Project Overview

One of the RIL’s core tools is the ecosystem mapping which enable us to gather and share useful information to support innovation and collaborative partnerships in a humanitarian setting.

The ecosystem mapping tools are an output of the RIL’s approach. Convening all stakeholders involved in the response is the first action the RIL takes. In doing so, the intent is to understand and build the Ecosystem surround the response. Through the convening, an Ecosystem Map is produced that highlights who all the stakeholders are, where and how they work. The Ecosystem then works together to identify current challenges that are affecting the population the most, and how and if they overlap with other challenges – we call this the Challenge Map.

Through our mapping process we’ve been able to develop various tools around the innovation ecosystem, and even use sub-sets of our data focused on Start-ups.

We are now partnering with the Internet of Production Alliance (IOPA) to explore the mapping of manufacturing capabilities in Somalia. The IOPA has developed a global standard for this mapping – called the Open Know Where (OKW) initiative, so we would like to have these standards translated from English to Somali.

These open source standards can be found here: https://app.standardsrepo.com/MakerNetAlliance/OpenKnow-Where/src/branch/master/1
