THE BRIEFS

Code for Vietnam was our code name for the 48h hackathon event in Hanoi, of the global series of Code for Resilience (C4R) hackathon events.

The event was held from the 09th to the 11th of May 2013 at Hanoi Information Technology and Communication Training Center.

The event gathers local mobile technologists with disaster risk management (DRM) experts to strengthen community resilience to natural disasters through the creation of civic-minded digital and hardware solutions.

OBJECTIVES

Gather local technologists, environmental activists with technology and DRM experts toward creating innovative solutions to identify, reduce the risks from, and respond to major natural disasters.

Identify qualified applications submitting to the Online Innovation Challenge (OIC)

Raise awareness on country’s resilience to natural disasters within the technology community.

Leverage the initial community into an Code for Resilience ecosystem working on long term impact project tacking down resilience challenges.

CHALLENGES / OPPORTUNITIES

The topic and the hackathon concept were unfamiliar to Vietnam technology community.

The time was too tight for organizing and for completing the app for the OIC.

The problem statements were identified late as the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development refused to make a full document.

The event was fully supported by World Bank.

HATCH! is well known in the coding community for organizing such events.

Media’s and DRM expert’s interest was greater than expected.

Participations from local environmentalist helps enhance the quality of application’s contents.
