Great initiative! Was the hackathon resticted to tech-solutions or it was rather a social hackathon opened to any ideas?

yes sure, any ideas were eligible to participate in the hackathon provided was able to provide a solution to fight the crisis as the goal was to identify solutions specifically from refugees for refugees. After the government of Uganda had burned all activities including transport means, refugees had no how they could access to living needs such as food, education, small commerce, etc.. Refugees are the most affected communities due to less access to resources, supermarkets around and that is why we had to organize the Hackathon to find solutions to sustain themselves in the camps. we didn't only limit in Uganda but also in Kenya Kakuma refugee camp still to finding solutions. A panel of judges evaluated and selected winning ideas one tries to making sensibilization about the covid19 see:(https://youtu.be/J_7nOkCO4N8), Online goods supply in Kakuma camp see(https://youtu.be/-JvndsMBv9A), and the other one providing online counseling to refugees in Kalobeye camp, see:(https://youtu.be/6zKU9mExY2E)

Thank Benjamin. The video shared was excellent, showing where the needs are, but the mindset and potential really shown through! So about #1 What can de done while tech is not there yet! 1. Is it not wanted my the currently but the local market? 2. Is it not available yet? #2 Seeing first hand, what do they need to see/understand first to collaborate?
