The RCRC movement is hosting digital consultations to support and inform the Digital Pledge. The Digital Pledge was presented during the RCRC’s international conference held in late 2019, which set out a framework for the Movement’s Strategy 2030.

Digital transformation is prioritized as one of seven transformations that the RCRC must embrace for the next decade. While digital technology can drive greater impact and efficiency in delivering humanitarian aid, it is accompanied by certain risks that need to be attended to. The Digital Pledge was signed by several members of the Movement committed themselves to strengthen national data and digital capacities for humanitarian action.
