Humanitarian Technology and the Monitoring and Reporting of Attacks on Education

This paper began life as a commissioned scoping study to inform and advise PEIC about new and emerging developments in information and communication technology relevant to the collection, sorting, analysis, storage and dissemination of data about attacks on education. Once the study had been completed, however, it was apparent that no other up-to-date overview of the relevance of such developments to the ‘attacks on education’ agenda was publicly available. Consequently, Jane Kalista was requested to adapt her initial study for the benefit of a wider audience. PEIC is grateful to Ms Kalista for this informative, balanced and useful analysis of how ‘humanitarian technology’ may not only supplement and complement tried and tested approaches but may also generate new types of information about attacks on education.
