Humanitarian AI Implementation Workshop

Translating Innovation into Operational Impact

Grounded in Humanitarian Practice

Drawing from extensive field experience across complex humanitarian contexts - including cash programming in Yemen, digital transformation in Ukraine, and social protection systems in Pakistan - MarketImpact has developed a practical framework for responsible AI implementation in humanitarian operations. Our approach bridges the critical gap between theoretical potential and operational reality

Case Study with Estonian Refugee Council

Evidence-Based Implementation

Our approach has been validated through recent deployment with the Estonian Refugee Council (ERC), where we transformed AI potential into operational reality. The workshop delivered immediate efficiency gains while maintaining humanitarian protection standards, with teams achieving measurable results

Procurement Innovation Success
The procurement team automated RFP document generation by successfully integrating USAID compliance requirements with local procurement standards - demonstrating how AI can enhance complex documentation processes while maintaining rigorous controls.

Multilingual Communications Breakthrough
Communications teams developed effective workflows for content creation in both Estonian and English. Through structured prompting approaches, they achieved high-quality outputs that maintained organizational voice across languages.

Data Analysis Transformation
Economic Recovery teams established frameworks for standardizing program impact analysis, enabling meaningful cross-project comparisons and enhancing reporting capabilities through AI-assisted data interpretation.

These successes were achieved through our systematic, protection-sensitive methodology that emphasizes practical application while maintaining humanitarian principles. Teams left with implementable solutions, not just theoretical knowledge.

Workshop Design: Bridging Theory and Practice

Our workshop structure directly addresses the complex reality of humanitarian operations, where innovation must be balanced against protection imperatives and resource constraints. Through systematic progression from foundational understanding to practical implementation, participants develop both theoretical frameworks and immediately applicable skills.

Morning Session: Building Foundations

We begin by establishing critical frameworks through interactive learning:

Understanding AI in Humanitarian Contexts
Practical examination of where AI adds value versus where traditional approaches remain optimal. Participants analyze real humanitarian use cases, from cash programming to needs assessment, understanding both capabilities and crucial limitations.
Protection-First Implementation
Systematic review of data protection frameworks relevant to humanitarian AI usage, moving from global standards (GDPR, IASC) to practical application. Teams work through scenario-based exercises examining ethical considerations in beneficiary data handling.
Risk Assessment for Innovation
Development of contextual risk assessment frameworks specifically calibrated for humanitarian AI implementation. Participants practice identifying and mitigating risks across programming, protection, and operational domains.
Humanitarian Prompt Engineering
Hands-on learning of our three-step prompt engineering methodology, optimized for humanitarian contexts. Participants master techniques for clear AI communication while maintaining humanitarian principles and protection standards.

Afternoon Session: Operational Implementation

The afternoon transitions to practical application through structured experimentation:

Department-Specific Solutions

Teams work on real organizational challenges, developing AI-assisted solutions for their specific operational contexts. Whether procurement, program management, or communications, each group addresses concrete operational needs.
Team-Based Development
Guided development of implementation approaches through collaborative problem-solving. Facilitators provide technical support while teams iterate on solutions, ensuring both innovation and protection considerations are addressed.
Implementation Planning
Creation of practical roadmaps for AI integration, including resource requirements, timeline development, and risk mitigation strategies. Teams leave with actionable plans calibrated to their organizational context.
Knowledge Exchange
Structured sharing of solutions and insights across teams, building organizational capacity for ongoing implementation. This collective learning approach ensures key insights are captured and shared.

This proven structure ensures participants develop both theoretical understanding and practical capabilities, enabling immediate application while maintaining humanitarian principles and protection standards.
