NetHope is proud to partner with GiveDirectly to demonstrate how AI-powered flood forecasting is transforming anticipatory humanitarian aid. By integrating Google’s cutting-edge flood prediction data with local insights, GiveDirectly is delivering life-saving cash transfers to vulnerable communities in Nigeria and Bangladesh—before disasters strike. This innovative use of AI enhances targeting precision, accelerates response times, and strengthens community resilience against climate-driven shocks.This case study is the latest in our series on how AI is reshaping humanitarian action. Building on our exploration of Signpost AI, we now turn to GiveDirectly’s anticipatory cash transfer initiative—an innovative collaboration with Google Research and JBA Global Resilience. In response to the growing frequency and severity of climate-related disasters, GiveDirectly is piloting an AI-enabled system to deliver early financial support to flood-prone communities in Nigeria and Bangladesh, helping families prepare before disaster strikes.As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to reshape how we respond to crises, the humanitarian sector must explore how to harness its potential while addressing associated risks. This case study is part of NetHope’s broader effort to document and share practical examples of AI in action—from anticipatory cash transfers to information access for displaced communities. Our goal is to offer actionable insights, spark dialogue, and support humanitarian organizations in adopting AI responsibly and effectively to meet the evolving needs of the communities they serve.If you are a NetHope Member and want to join the NetHope AI and Emerging Technologies Working Group to learn and collaborate on the responsible use of AI for nonprofits, sign up to the NetHope Network here.
