RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Practices and consequences of using humanitarian technologies in volatile aid settings
This article presents the results of an exploratory study into aid agencies’ use of technologies for security purposes. Since
there appears to be a consensus in the aid sector that areas of operations are increasingly dangerous, aid agencies are
upgrading their security strategies by adopting technological innovations. I conducted Skype interviews with security
managers and country directors responsible for operations in dangerous countries. These interviews show that
humanitarian technologies are more and more used in volatile countries for security reasons. In this light, I empirically
assess the critique of some academics (1) that risks are not mitigated but transferred to more vulnerable actors, (2) that
technology is not a neutral fix but has local political repercussions, and (3) that international and national aid workers
grow increasingly distant from their local counterparts and the people they aim to help. This article contributes to the
literature by critically re-evaluating and nuancing these critiques.
