A connected refugee population can also play a critical role in enabling Organizations such as UNHCR
to innovate effectively and to improve the quality of services that we provide. Connectivity has the
potential to transform how we communicate, the way in which we respond to the protection needs
of displaced people, and our delivery of humanitarian services. Most significantly, better connectivity
can promote self-reliance by broadening the opportunities for refugees to improve their own lives.
Access to the internet and mobile telephone services has the potential to create a powerful multiplier
effect, boosting the well-being of refugees and of the communities that host them.
