CaRMIS: How a Nigerian Innovation Is Revolutionizing Humanitarian Response in West Africa

Bridging the Tech Gap in Humanitarian Work In a region where crises—from conflict to climate disasters—demand swift action, CaRMIS (Capacity and Response Management Information System) is rewriting the rules of humanitarian aid.
