Context
NRC’s global strategic plan for 2022 - 2025 includes Digital Transformation as a strategic enabler for the organisation and a key element in expanding the reach of our assistance towards NRC’s 2030 ambitions. To do so, NRC is increasingly adopting digital solutions to drive internal efficiencies and provide digital services to the people it serves. Key to this, will be NRC’s ability to secure systems, applications, and the data these will process, to ensure privacy, confidentiality and avoid causing digital harm.
NRC has therefore identified the need to establish a Data Responsibility practice across its programme teams delivering aid. As per the UN OCHA definition, data responsibility in humanitarian action is the safe, ethical and effective management of personal and non-personal data for operational response (OCHA 2021). The intention is to work across different elements such as data protection, information security, ethics, risk and compliance and programme design to create practical guidance for field teams to identify risks inherent in using digital solutions and mitigating these in several ways, including design, minimisation, avoidance, technical adjustments, etc. While these elements may exist today in NRC, they operate independent of each other, responding to different management lines and have their own deliverables.
Are you an experienced Data Responsibility or Privacy professional looking to put your expertise into action to reduce the possibility of bringing digital harm to the people we serve?
