During the response to Cyclone Batsirai in Madagascar in 2022, CGDIS (Luxembourg) deployed an ICT expert under the International Humanitarian Partnership (IHP) framework to support the United Nations Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) team. The ICT expert’s role was crucial in setting up communication systems to ensure the UNDAC team could effectively coordinate with humanitarian organizations operating in the affected regions.

This support was essential, as the cyclone caused significant damage to infrastructure, making reliable communication and information flow a challenge. The IHP’s contribution helped improve logistical coordination, enabling faster and more efficient humanitarian responses on the ground.
