區塊鏈徹底改變了人道援助的交付

人道組織越來越多地利用區塊鏈技術來解決受危機影響地區的金融排斥和身分驗證不足的挑戰。最近的舉措包括 Stellar 發展基金會和聯合國難民署之間的合作，透過 Stellar 網路向烏克蘭難民提供現金援助，而 Partisia 區塊鏈基金會正在探索利用其網路支付紅十字會人道主義援助款項。該領域之前的區塊鏈項目取得了不同的結果，一些項目成功繞過官僚障礙來提供援助，而另一些項目則冗餘地使用了區塊鏈。

Innovative Use of Blockchain Technology Enhances Humanitarian Aid Distribution

區塊鏈技術的創新運用加強人道援助分發

Recent Blockchain Initiatives Aim to Empower Vulnerable Populations

最近的區塊鏈計劃旨在增強弱勢群體的能力

This December witnessed the announcement of two significant blockchain projects aimed at providing vital assistance to those in need. The first initiative, a collaboration between the Stellar Development Foundation and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), seeks to provide Ukrainian refugees with cash assistance through the Stellar network. The second project, undertaken by the Partisia Blockchain Foundation in partnership with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), explores the utilization of the Partisia network to enhance the efficiency of humanitarian aid payments by the Red Cross.

今年 12 月，兩個重要的區塊鏈項目宣布成立，旨在為有需要的人提供重要援助。第一項舉措是 Stellar 發展基金會與聯合國難民事務高級專員辦事處 (UNHCR) 之間的合作，旨在透過 Stellar 網路向烏克蘭難民提供現金援助。第二個項目由 Partisia 區塊鏈基金會與紅十字國際委員會 (ICRC) 合作開展，探索利用 Partisia 網路來提高紅十字會支付人道援助的效率。

Mixed Success of Past Blockchain Projects Underscores the Need for Careful Implementation

過去區塊鏈專案的成功程度參差不齊，凸顯了謹慎實施的必要性

While blockchain technology holds immense promise for revolutionizing humanitarian aid distribution, previous initiatives have yielded mixed results. Successful projects have enabled beneficiaries to navigate bureaucratic hurdles and access essential assistance. However, in other cases, the incorporation of blockchain has proven redundant, failing to add tangible value to the distribution process.

雖然區塊鏈技術對於徹底改變人道援助分配有著巨大的希望，但先前的舉措卻產生了好壞參半的結果。成功的計畫使受益者能夠克服官僚障礙並獲得必要的援助。然而，在其他情況下，區塊鏈的結合已被證明是多餘的，無法為分配過程增加有形價值。

UNHCR and Stellar Development Foundation Introduce Pilot Blockchain Payment Solution for Ukrainian Refugees

聯合國難民署和恆星發展基金會為烏克蘭難民推出試點區塊鏈支付解決方案

On December 15, the UNHCR and Stellar Development Foundation launched a groundbreaking pilot program that leverages blockchain technology to distribute digital cash to internally displaced persons and other war-affected individuals in Ukraine.

USDC Tokens Facilitating Cash Assistance for Refugees

USDC 代幣為難民提供現金援助

The program utilizes USDC tokens, a stablecoin pegged to the value of the US dollar, which will be distributed through the Stellar network. These tokens can be redeemed at any MoneyGram location, enabling refugees to access cash assistance regardless of their banking status or access to traditional financial institutions.

該計劃使用 USDC 代幣，這是一種與美元價值掛鉤的穩定幣，將透過 Stellar 網路進行分發。這些代幣可以在任何 MoneyGram 網點兌換，使難民無論其銀行狀況或傳統金融機構的情況如何都能獲得現金援助。

Partnership with MoneyGram Enhances Accessibility

與 MoneyGram 的合作增強了無障礙性

The partnership with MoneyGram for cash-out services and USDC Circle digital dollars ensures the practicality and accessibility of this solution, particularly for individuals living in crisis-affected areas.
