The Nigeria Health Hackathon on Risk Communication is a four-day event in Abuja, designed to bring together tech developers, risk communication and disease control professionals to brainstorm and design solutions that can enhance efforts in preparing for and responding to health emergencies and epidemics. These actors will convene to conceive and rapidly develop new solutions to address the challenges of Health and Risk Communication.
The event will be organized by Sensi Tech Innovation Hub in partnership with the Nigeria Federal Ministry of Health and Nigeria Center for Disease Control, on behalf of GFA Consulting Group GmbH and GIZ as part of the German Cooperation-financed Regional Program supporting Pandemic Prevention in the ECOWAS Region (RPPP)
At the end of the 4 days intense incubation and acceleration phase, teams will present their prototypes for judging on the final day, competing for a chance to develop their ideas further with support from Sensi Tech Hub, GIZ, GFA and the Nigeria Federal Ministry of Health and the Nigerian Center for Disease Control. The winning team will receive support to the tune of $2500 to implement their solution.
The event is open to all tech developers, risk communication specialists, and disease control professionals. We welcome individuals from local universities, organizations, and institutions across Nigeria who are motivated to participate in this intense incubation and acceleration of ideas.
