By @rk_process9
I often encounter concerns from my clients and prospects about the challenges of delivering their #website and mobile #apps in multiple #languages, to be able to reach out to more #customers .

Many express that it takes a lot of effort, dedicated manpower, knowledge of multiple languages, a reliable #translationagency, management of #translation processes, and much more.

They find it hard to believe when I tell them that implementing #MoxVeda for #website and #app #localization can eliminate all these efforts.

How has the international humanitarian response to Ukraine engaged & supported national & local actors?

The Ukraine humanitarian crisis response is overwhelmingly led by Ukrainian

 The #Ukraine crisis is the most well-funded emergency of 2022, but as of May ’22, only 0.5% went to government and 0.0003% to National NGOs directly (3/7)
1. Last week I was invited to address a NGO platform in a European country to speak and challenge them on #localisation agenda.
#localisation is a term referred to strengthen local NGOs who are often first responders to disasters.

2. The term became a buzzword after the World Humanitarian Summit in 2016, when it was realised that less than 0.3% funding was reaching to local/national actors. Hence a commitment was made to pass on at least 25% to them by 2020. #localisation
3. Anyways, while addressing them I asked, I am seeing 15 organisations part of this NGO platform. What if I was addressing platform of any other European country, or North America, or Japan. Would I see different NGOs there or same?
Just found out that a country office of international NGO for an award of excellence for its #COVID19 programme. As far as I know, this organisation was never on ground, but worked through its local NGO members, who got no acknowledgement. @A4EP2 @SmrutiPatel11 @RezaKChyBD
This is how the system works. While this INGO, keeps talking of #localisation, it only transferred the risk to the staff of its resourceless local NGOs, and made no acknowledgement when it came to receiving award for the work it never did.
#HAI @humanaidint was on ground from the second day of the #lockdown and did more than most of the humanitarian organisations. But the ecosystem favours only big and resource rich brands. @seriousfunnyguy
1/6 How are 3D city models used by the industry? 5 City models User Case Studies (videos) using our 3D London and 3D Dublin models.
1. I feel the duty to help you to understand the debate on extremely intrusive #digitalSurveillance to fight #COVID. I don't feel comfortable to exclude such tracking in these days when thousands die, at the same time I have very serious concerns
2. we are now going through a situation we experienced after the 9/11 when politicians felt immense pressure. Interests to establish an #OrwellianSurveillance were also huge.Politicians opted for it (most shielded by secrecy) and that #OrwellianSurveillance is still here
3. It's very likely we will follow the same path:if we establish a new layer of extremely pervasive surveillance by putting together #HealthData,#localisation,#CreditCards,#phonecameras, it's very unlikely we will go back to the "old system".
