Digital Technology to Assess Safeguard Impacts
ADB and AIM are focusing on drumming up solutions for the post-COVID-19 era.
Challenge Overview
How can digital technologies help us remotely assess and classify the impact on land, assets, people, and environment?
In this challenge, we aim to help ADB projects progress without compromising on safeguards compliance through alternative ways and approaches, such as geospatial technologies and unmanned aerial vehicles.
Background:
When international staff based in Manila cannot visit the sites due to international travel limitations, conducting due diligence and assessing impacts on the ground are delayed and slow-moving. Delayed or inaccurately assessed impacts may cause the project to become non-compliant with the ADB Safeguards Policy Statement (SPS) requirements.
WHAT ARE THE AWARDS?
Win USD 10,000 for pilot testing chosen solutions
Connect with ADB experts and pitch to ADB leaders.
Gain ADB support to undergo incubation and access funding sources to implement solutions.
