Cash transfers have changed the way the humanitarian sector delivers assistance, and at the same time, digitalization is changing the way our world works in fundamental ways. The digitalization of cash means that the simple click of a button can put money in the hands of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people within minutes. Digital payments have been a game changer, opening the door to faster and more efficient delivery of life-saving assistance. Although physical currency will not disappear with the rise of digital payments, it is essential to balance the benefits of these digital processes with the risks. As humanitarians, we need to articulate what “do no harm” means in the digital age, applying this equally to the way we use digital payments to support people affected by armed conflicts and other situations of violence.

数字时代的“不伤害”:现金数字化对人道主义行动意味着什么

现金转移改变了人道主义部门提供援助的方式,与此同时,数字化正在从根本上改变我们世界的运作方式。现金的数字化意味着只需单击一个按钮,就可以在几分钟内将钱送到数十万甚至数百万人的手中。数字支付已经改变了游戏规则,为更快、更有效地提供救生援助打开了大门。尽管实物货币不会随着数字支付的兴起而消失,但平衡这些数字流程的收益与风险至关重要。作为人道主义者,我们需要阐明“不伤害”在数字时代意味着什么,并将其同样应用于我们使用数字支付来支持受武装冲突和其他暴力局势影响的人们的方式。
