The United Nations Refugee Agency Is Hosting a Hackathon to Help Understand Donor Data

UNHCR is partnering with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

The United Nations Refugee Agency is hoping to hack the potential of big data to unlock new ways of funding its humanitarian efforts around the world.

This weekend, a unit of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is hosting a hackathon to let developers and designers collaborate to better understand UNHCR’s donor base and who might be interested in donating in the future.

Hive—an initiative of UNHCR—is partnering with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to see what kind of ideas Seattle’s hacker community might “unravel” while prototyping new ways of engagement.
