Hi Siva,

Yes, I realise it's not 100% relevant, but is closely related. Regarding the questions you raise, I absolutely think that CNs should be able to play a more active role in the context of the questions you mention, assuming there is capacity, access, and mobility to deploy.

Best,
-Michael

Michael,

Even if beyond the purview of this DC, on the topic of refugee settlements, can CNs integrate connectivity technologies with SDGs related to decent life (for the length of their refugee status)? Could CNs with UNHCR, ISOC and UNDP to identify borderline land tracts to build temporary but decent, connected neighbourhoods, with the Communities themselves using connectivity to engineer all round well being? Food, Shelter, Water, Clothing, Health, Education.... ?
