Tracking Humanitarian Aid on the Blockchain

April 15, 2020 • Asad Rahman • Season 1 • Episode 3

In my experience talking about the potential of new technologies for international development, nothing gets eyebrows raised and people talking as much as blockchain.

In this episode, we’re joined by Kira Nezu, Chief Product Officer of Datarella, a blockchain startup from Munich. Kira talks about how she worked to create and test a proof of concept for using blockchain to track the aid supply chain.
