The humanitarian sector has established numerous processes and systems designed to respond effectively to emergencies. However, limited integration among these systems can result in operational challenges and coordination inefficiencies. Additionally, emerging needs call for new solutions that can be difficult to incorporate into existing structures.
AIDONIC is an innovative platform that transforms how humanitarian aid is delivered by combining blockchain, artificial intelligence, and payment aggregation within a secure, GDPR-compliant environment. Designed to empower aid organizations and reduce risk, AIDONIC enhances efficiency and scalability in response efforts. It serves WFP by providing a comprehensive tool for collecting and managing data on local populations, offering photo de-duplication to prevent duplicate records, and allowing recipients to choose their preferred payment method for assistance. As a ready-made solution, AIDONIC can be easily transferred to government management if needed. Its blockchain-based transparency also enables WFP to share traceable, detailed information with donors and other stakeholders, building trust and accountability in the aid process.
AIDONIC is currently undergoing a proof-of-concept trial with WFP Country Office in Peru. Launched in October 2024, this three-month project aims to demonstrate AIDONIC's impact and effectiveness in real-world conditions. Over the past few years, AIDONIC has gained global recognition, winning more than ten international awards for its innovative approach to enhancing aid delivery and accountability.
