Globe is first telco to join UN-led DISHA initiative for disaster response
Globe has become the first mobile network operator to join the UN Global Pulse's Data Insights for Social and Humanitarian Action (DISHA) coalition through a pro bono agreement. The initiative leverages AI-driven data for disaster preparedness in the Philippines, where 74% of the population faces natural disaster risks.
The partnership introduces two key features: a Population Movement heatmap tracking real-time population shifts in disaster areas using telecom data, and Poverty Nowcasting, which employs machine learning to monitor poverty levels using census data and anonymized signals. These tools aim to enhance humanitarian organizations' disaster response capabilities.
The pilot program in the Philippines includes collaboration with organizations like Catholic Relief Services, Philippine Red Cross, and Oxfam, who are helping refine the DISHA dashboard. The initiative supports UN Sustainable Development Goals 11 and 13, focusing on sustainable communities and climate action.
Globe è diventato il primo operatore di rete mobile a unirsi alla coalizione Data Insights for Social and Humanitarian Action (DISHA) delle Nazioni Unite attraverso un accordo pro bono. L'iniziativa sfrutta i dati guidati dall'IA per la preparazione ai disastri nelle Filippine, dove il 74% della popolazione affronta rischi di disastri naturali.
La partnership introduce due caratteristiche chiave: una mappa di calore dei movimenti della popolazione che traccia in tempo reale i cambiamenti demografici nelle aree colpite dai disastri utilizzando dati delle telecomunicazioni, e Poverty Nowcasting, che impiega il machine learning per monitorare i livelli di povertà utilizzando dati censuari e segnali anonimizzati. Questi strumenti mirano a migliorare le capacità di risposta alle emergenze delle organizzazioni umanitarie.
Il programma pilota nelle Filippine include la collaborazione con organizzazioni come Catholic Relief Services, Philippine Red Cross e Oxfam, che stanno aiutando a perfezionare il cruscotto DISHA. L'iniziativa supporta gli Obiettivi di Sviluppo Sostenibile 11 e 13 delle Nazioni Unite, concentrandosi su comunità sostenibili e azione climatica.

La iniciativa aprovecha los datos impulsados por IA para la preparación ante desastres en Filipinas, donde el 74% de la población enfrenta riesgos de desastres naturales.
La asociación presenta dos características clave: un mapa de calor de movimientos poblacionales que rastrea en tiempo real los cambios demográficos en áreas de desastre utilizando datos de telecomunicaciones, y Poverty Nowcasting, que emplea aprendizaje automático para monitorear los niveles de pobreza utilizando datos censales y señales anonimizadas. Estas herramientas buscan mejorar las capacidades de respuesta ante desastres de las organizaciones humanitarias.
El programa piloto en Filipinas incluye la colaboración con organizaciones como Catholic Relief Services, Cruz Roja Filipina y Oxfam, que están ayudando a perfeccionar el panel de control de DISHA.

Globe는 UN 글로벌 펄스의 Data Insights for Social and Humanitarian Action (DISHA) 연합에 프로 보노 협약을 통해 가입한 첫 번째 모바일 네트워크 운영자가 되었습니다. 이 이니셔티브는 필리핀에서 74%의 인구가 자연 재해 위험에 직면한 상황에서 재해 대비를 위한 AI 기반 데이터를 활용합니다.
파트너십은 두 가지 주요 기능을 도입합니다: 재해 지역에서의 인구 이동을 실시간으로 추적하는 인구 이동 히트맵과 인구 조사 데이터 및 익명 신호를 사용하여 빈곤 수준을 모니터링하는 데 머신 러닝을 사용하는 Poverty Nowcasting. 이러한 도구는 인도적 조직의 재해 대응 능력을 향상시키는 것을 목표로 합니다.
필리핀에서의 시범 프로그램은 Catholic Relief Services, Philippine Red Cross 및 Oxfam과 같은 조직과의 협력을 포함하며, 이들은 DISHA 대시보드를 개선하는 데 도움을 주고 있습니다. 이 이니셔티브는 지속 가능한 커뮤니티와 기후 행동에 중점을 두고 UN 지속 가능한 개발 목표 11과 13을 지원합니다.
Globe est devenu le premier opérateur de réseau mobile à rejoindre la coalition Data Insights for Social and Humanitarian Action (DISHA) des Nations Unies par le biais d'un accord pro bono. L'initiative utilise des données alimentées par l'IA pour la préparation aux catastrophes aux Philippines, où 74 % de la population fait face à des risques de catastrophes naturelles.
Le partenariat introduit deux caractéristiques clés : une carte de chaleur des mouvements de population qui suit en temps réel les déplacements de population dans les zones sinistrées à l'aide de données télécoms, et Poverty Nowcasting, qui utilise l'apprentissage automatique pour surveiller les niveaux de pauvreté à l'aide de données de recensement et de signaux anonymisés. Ces outils visent à améliorer les capacités de réponse aux catastrophes des organisations humanitaires.
Le programme pilote aux Philippines inclut la collaboration avec des organisations telles que Catholic Relief Services, la Croix-Rouge philippine et Oxfam, qui aident à affiner le tableau de bord DISHA. L'initiative soutient les Objectifs de Développement Durable 11 et 13 des Nations Unies, en mettant l'accent sur des communautés durables et l'action climatique.
Globe ist der erste Mobilfunkanbieter, der der UN Global Pulse Data Insights for Social and Humanitarian Action (DISHA) Koalition durch eine Pro-Bono-Vereinbarung beigetreten ist. Die Initiative nutzt KI-gesteuerte Daten zur Katastrophenvorsorge auf den Philippinen, wo 74% der Bevölkerung Risiken durch Naturkatastrophen ausgesetzt sind.
Die Partnerschaft bringt zwei zentrale Funktionen mit sich: eine Bevölkerungsbewegungs-Hitze-Karte, die in Echtzeit Bevölkerungsverschiebungen in Katastrophengebieten mithilfe von Telekommunikationsdaten verfolgt, und Poverty Nowcasting, das maschinelles Lernen einsetzt, um Armutsniveaus anhand von Zensusdaten und anonymisierten Signalen zu überwachen. Diese Werkzeuge zielen darauf ab, die Katastrophenreaktionsfähigkeiten humanitärer Organisationen zu verbessern.
Das Pilotprogramm auf den Philippinen umfasst die Zusammenarbeit mit Organisationen wie Catholic Relief Services, dem Philippinischen Roten Kreuz und Oxfam, die dabei helfen, das DISHA-Dashboard zu verfeinern. Die Initiative unterstützt die UN-Nachhaltigkeitsziele 11 und 13, mit Fokus auf nachhaltige Gemeinschaften und Klimaschutz.

While timely and accurate information is critical in directing aid and ensuring swift recovery efforts, many local organizations still rely on manual assessments that can delay aid distribution.
DISHA addresses the challenge through the dynamic Socio-Economic Mapping solution developed in collaboration with McKinsey & Company and its AI arm QuantumBlack.
The Population Movement heatmap highlights unexpected population movement in disaster-stricken regions in near real time using trends derived from telecommunications data. Meanwhile, the Poverty Nowcasting feature uses machine learning models trained on government census data, telecom trends, and other anonymized signals to provide a regularly updated view of poverty levels. These tools help humanitarian organizations better respond to disasters, reaching those in most need.
"We're excited to welcome Globe Telecom to the DISHA Partner community and look forward to working side-by-side with Globe and humanitarian agencies operating in
As a supporter of the Sustainable Development Goals, this partnership between Globe and DISHA highlights the importance of digital connectivity in advancing the goals, especially on disaster management.
"Our partnership with DISHA provides a crucial data-for-good solution that will enable disaster management agencies and partner organizations to deliver life-saving aid to those who need it the most. Because connectivity is essential in those first critical hours after a disaster, DISHA's Socio-Economic Mapping solution allows Globe to proactively prioritize service availability in shelter areas to enable recovery," said Jenny Echevarria, VP for Enterprise Data and Strategic Services at Globe
Meanwhile, the Catholic Relief Services, the Philippine Red Cross, and Oxfam have contributed to refining the DISHA dashboard by providing feedback to improve its usability and effectiveness.
The beta-testing program in the country is now expanding, and humanitarian organizations in
The 2024 GSMA SDG Impact Report highlights DISHA's innovative approach and Globe's role as its data partner in the Philippine pilot run. This initiative supports UN Sustainable Development Goal 11 on sustainable cities and communities and Goal 13 on climate action.
