Abstract
The COVID-19 global health pandemic has exposed many vulnerabilities inherent in our societies. One of these has been the inability of many governments to effectively respond to the unfolding humanitarian emergency. The ramifications of this and other omissions have been profound and have disproportionately affected the most vulnerable collectives in society, which have become exposed to a higher risk of disease and loss of livelihoods. When looking ahead and planning for the future, it is essential that our existing decision-making systems are strengthened, building in resilience systemically to tackle future emergencies of a similar scale. Through a collection of case studies, this paper explores the view that technology and innovation can play a key role in building resilience in our existing systems and are necessary to catalyse transformative changes which foster development, thereby working towards securing the livelihoods of those most vulnerable in society.
