We’ve done our best as volunteers to assemble information on this site which we hope you will find useful. The detailed content of all the information pages here – Eglantyne, Directory, Events, Jobs, and Data & AI for Good are all sourced from other websites. We’ve done our best to make the information useful to you, but cannot except any liability as to its accuracy or completeness, either in terms of the original source data or how we have transformed it for presentation here. See the legal disclaimer below.
Eglantyne is an AI-based Research Assistant tool that examines whitelisted sites and our news archive to answer humanitarian questions using OpenAI technology. All AI responses are subject to error. The news archive is populated regularly from a detailed trawl of major news feeds using both google and bing seach engines, which are tuned differently and produce different results, which we then de-dupe. The data in our archive is dependent upon the data provided by external providers and has not been verified by us. We exclude all social media, and try to offer a varied set of news perspectives though not overtly political.
Directory: This is simply a list of over one hundred useful organisations you might need to contact. Where we could find it, we have added their jobs page. If you would like to add another organisation, please email the details to Site Admin (address below).
Events: From time to time, we will look around the web to find major humanitarian conferences and events. Anyone can submit a new event for review to be included in the diary. Members can by-pass the review process and add their events real time. If you notice any information that is incorrect, please email the details to Site Admin (address below).
Jobs: We’ve linked to a small number of NGOs to provide a consolidated, searchable list of current vacancies in the sector. We are happy to extend this list with the permission of other NGOs – please email details to Site Admin (address below). We have put a lot of effort into making this list useful, but it will never be as reliable as the job lists on the original NGO sites. We try to only show current jobs, we shows jobs in sequence of ‘most recently advertised first’, and where we can identify a close date, we flag it red if that is within a week. The search capability by country and region is strong, as is the key word search across job title and summary. Because jobs are presented in wildly different formats by NGOs, we’ve done our best assembling useful summaries from published information. Anyone can submit a new job for review to be included in the listing. Members can by-pass the review process and add their jobs real time.
Data and AI for Good: This embryonic section builds on the belief the data management and AI can be used positively within the humanitarian sector. We have initially focussed on WFP data feeds which they have kindly authorised for this purpose. Our intention of showing this data here is to help stimulate the debate about data – its sources, accuracy, ownership and governance – and the use of AI, particularly in forecasting. We believe that humanitarian professionals are best placed to guide this debate as it unfolds over the next decade.
