The Universal Digital Vessel (UDV) Project will combine the technologies and expertise of Genoa Design International Ltd., Virtual Marine, Gastops and Modest Tree to create a relevant digital workspace that can be used by marine personnel in vessel design, construction, operation, maintenance and training innovation, without fear of violating IP rights. The consortium members will explore an innovative approach to shipbuilding and the life of a vessel, that could result in shared access to information and tools created along the way.

Through this 30-month project, the RFNB will create regional networking and collaboration mechanisms that accelerate systemic change and strengthen leadership by Francophone women and gender minorities to ensure they participate fully in democracy and in the post-Covid feminist recovery in New Brunswick.

To achieve this, practices will be designed and deployed to enhance leadership and engagement by women and gender minorities, especially by creating action groups in each of the province’s six regions.

P009670001: This project helps contribute to stability in South Sudan by countering misinformation, which exacerbates conflict and hinders responses to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The project supports the Hagiga Wahid pilot initiative, an interactive, two-way, mobile phone-based information system that engages citizens in monitoring, verifying, and countering the spread of misinformation.

P010168001: January 2021 – The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) provides international protection and assistance to the world’s refugees, stateless persons, asylum seekers, and in some instances, internally displaced persons, including in response to the secondary impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The UNHCR searches for lasting solutions to their situations.

This has worsened existing vulnerabilities, including high poverty levels (36%) among those living in the evacuated areas and the ongoing effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Scientists warn that eruptions could continue for days - or even weeks, making the task of rebuilding the lives of thousands of displaced persons even more challenging.
