Videos: Presentations of our work

Below are some videos from presentations on our experiences with predictive analytics over the past several years.

Is it possible to predict future forced displacement?

Is it possible to accurately predict how many people will be forcibly displaced in the future? If so, how might this help aid responses?In this episode of Fixing Aid, host Alae Ismail speaks to the Danish Refugee Council about the prediction tool they’ve developed with tech company IBM. Exploring both its potential and its limitations, she also hears from a Sahelian pastoralist organisation and a Syrian campaigner about the implications more precise forecasting has for providing better aid.
