Zurich Flood Resilience Alliance is a multi-sectoral partnership of Practical Action that focuses on finding practical ways to support communities to cope up and recover from flood risk. The information related to floods was very scattered and it was very hard to gather flood information and track the flood events. This created a requirement of a cost-effective centralized repository system for sharing practical knowledge. The centralized repository system was used to gather and share comprehensive information, including the reasons and methods for enhancing community flood resilience, and resources from other
entities and researchers engaged in flood resilience efforts.
Digital ID: The Key to a Modern UK or a Threat to Our Freedom?
The debate around digital ID in the United Kingdom is intensifying. While some view it as an important step towards a modern and efficient society, others see it as a potential threat to privacy and individual freedom. The government’s proposed digital ID aims to simplify identity verification, reduce fraud and improve access to public services. Yet it also raises serious questions about data protection, inclusion and state control. Its success will depend on building trust through transparency, security by design and public engagement, ensuring that digital identity empowers citizens rather than limits them.
