 So good morning and my name is Enrica Porcaria, I'm the Chief Information Officer and Director of Technology at the United Nations World Food Program. I'm also here as the Chair of the UN Emergency Telecommunication Cluster. So this symposium here and organized by ITU and hosted by the Government of Mauritius is extremely relevant and timely. Purvasive technology and that benefits those who otherwise would be left behind, but also the growing number of natural disasters that hit our world are coming together as an opportunity to discuss both the policy, the regulatory issues, and the organizational issues on how do we leverage technologies to make sure that we consider those who are affected by disasters not as victims but as those who can shape their future. The shape what is important to them is the shape of how they contribute, they become active members of the response and the relevance of technology to their own lives.
