About RIL
Response Innovation Lab (RIL) is a collaborative initiative between World Vision International, Save the Children International, Oxfam International, Civic.co and Danish Refugee Council.
We convene stakeholders within the broad humanitarian innovation system to foster ecosystem development. Embracing a collaborative, evidence-based and localized approach, we endeavor to empower the humanitarian innovation system at both local and global level.
“By creating an open, inclusive space for problem analysis, information sharing and facilitation, RIL will broker new innovation-focused partnerships to rapidly test and scale context-ready solutions that deliver transformative impact to populations affected by or vulnerable to crisis, emergency and fragility.”
