HI commits to working with research and private sector partners to pilot a project that provides rehabilitation assistive devices in remote and conflict-affected communities and during humanitarian crises, through the use of 3D prosthetic and orthotic printing, ICT and tele-rehabilitation services. This project forms part of a DFID Innovations Hub proposal due to the announced during the Summit.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan: 2018-20 including programme delivery and impact studies to scale up pilot initiatives.

HI commits to the release of contaminated landmines and dangers from explosive remnants of war on local populations more efficiently and in greater quantities. This will be achieved through gains created by the combined use of drone detection methods based on aerial evidence and a mobile data collection interface. This in turn will enable safer access to land for agricultural development and natural resources, including water, as well as reduce the risk of accidents that cause injuries, permanent impairments and death for people.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan: November 2018 – October 2019.
The project involving international researchers and the private sector will pilot and test innovative technologies in Europe before deploying in the northern part of Chad for real testing in contaminated areas in spring 2019.
