  1. 1. The Role of Technology in Humanitarian Accountability : Analysis of Social Listening Role During the COVID-19 Response

    Magister-uppsats, Malmö universitet/Institutionen för konst, kultur och kommunikation (K3)

    Författare :Mariana Palavra; [2023]
    Nyckelord :AAP; accountability; technology; social listening; humanitarian response;

    Sammanfattning : During recent public health emergencies, such as COVID-19 pandemic, the spread of over, false and misinformation in social media, resulted in an exponential use of digital social listening methodologies- in summary defined as collection and analysis of voices, concerns and/or perceptions expressed by individuals and communities- as part of the humanitarian response.  This raises the question on how those social listening findings are being used and influence emergency responses, while also addressing affected people’s needs and concerns, as part of the Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP) mandate- an obligation of every organisation on the ground to place people affected by crisis at the centre of humanitarian action and promote respect for their human rights.
