Co-designed accessible disaster database for households with disabilities in rural areas

In 2024 the Hanoi Association of People with Disabilities (DP Hanoi) launched an initiative called DIDDI as a pilot-project for the rural My Duc district. DIDDI developed a spatial database mapping households where persons with disabilities live as well as their infrastructure, collecting hundreds of data points and training government officials. The data was then integrated into the Viet Nam Disaster Monitoring System, aiding over 2,500 beneficiaries who can be efficiently supported in an emergency.

Solution: Disability-Inclusive Disaster Data Initiative (DIDDI)
Organization: Hanoi Association of People with Disabilities (DP Hanoi)
