Humanitarian Technology Challenge (HTC)

The Humanitarian Technology Challenge (HTC) is an innovative, collaborative endeavor that will develop and implement technological solutions to selected humanitarian challenges in developing countries.

The HTC was created by technologists, humanitarians, nonprofit organizations, students, government employees - and citizens of the world - who are coming together to identify and work to solve some of the world's most pressing challenges. With a unique, open-source collaborative concept, HTC enables volunteers to make a difference - without making a major commitment of time or resources.

The HTC mission is to:

• Solve three global challenges selected based upon input from leading humanitarians for their potential impact on humanity, and potential for success;
• Create solutions that are sustainable, scalable and adaptable to multiple environments so they can be implemented locally within the environmental, cultural, structural, political, and socio-economic conditions where they will be deployed;
• Support the work of United Nations and other humanitarian assistance groups worldwide.
