Happy World Humanitarian Day! Today, we celebrate the incredible work of translators in humanitarian contexts. They ensure communities obtain essential information in a language they understand. Here is the perspective of Chris Akili Lungu, one of our community members, as a refugee and translator. #WorldHumanitarianDay #WorldHumanitarianDay2024 #languagematters #TWBcommunity 🌍👏🏼

20 years ago, the aid sector said that we would no longer tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse. The amazing Ellie Kemp and Emily Elderfield contributed to this book, reflecting on progress so far. And how much better we need to be at communicating and listening. #accountability #languagematters #psea
Coming soon to a screen and bookstore near you! :) Publication: 29 July It's been 20 years since the aid sector declared 'zero tolerance' on SEA. Emily Elderfield and I were privileged to work with a fabulous group of authors led and edited by Jasmine Westendorf and Elliot Dolan-Evans to reflect on what progress we have made and what needs to change to offer better protection. Getting better at listening and communicating will be key. CLEAR Global Translators without Borders

Wow! What a great outcome. So much to learn. :-) 👥 𝗔𝘀𝗸 𝗮 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱 #𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿: Most farmers want to confirm information they receive with their peers, and our digital solutions need to be designed to work in this environment.

🌱 We just learnt a lot! A couple weeks ago, we wrapped up 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 (𝗔𝗜𝗘𝗣) 𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 in Gaya, Bihar! 🇮🇳 For the second time, the #AIEP team from #GIZ, with whom I have the pleasure to work, convened the four great teams that are currently developing the MVPs of the AIEP alongside government representatives and experts from #AI to #agriculture to discuss progress, challenges and learnings. Being in Gaya, we also had the chance to go to the countryside to meet with farmers to discuss their needs and challenges and to demo the MVPs with them. But we also want to share our learnings so here are some of our key learnings: 👥 𝗔𝘀𝗸 𝗮 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱 #𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿: Most farmers want to confirm information they receive with their peers, and our digital solutions need to be designed to work in this environment.

Names for diseases differ a lot, the output might be too long and technical to be useful and the speech recognition system might not understand key terms while your overall indicators show reasonably good performance.

Everyone has a role to play in a #fairerfuture and we’re so incredibly grateful for our #TWBCommunity, who dedicate their time, language skills and abilities to helping us.
In June, we were honored to participate in #LocWorld 51, where CLEAR Global joined leaders in localization and language technology to discuss the future of AI and language inclusion! 🚀 As we continue our work to strive for a fairer future, here are our 4 key takeaways from this year's conference. https://hubs.ly/Q02FmZx90 #LocWorld51 #AI #LanguageInclusion #Innovation #FairerFuture #CLEARGlobal
