Trust is under pressure across industries, but in the humanitarian sector it has become existential. As public skepticism around waste, corruption, and opaque systems grows, support for aid can disappear fast—as seen in 2025 with sweeping cuts to U.S. foreign assistance driven by accountability concerns.
This session, presented by the Algorand Foundation explores how blockchain is reshaping humanitarian aid by enabling real-time, verifiable tracking of stablecoin-based funds from donor to recipient. We’ll examine what trust-by-design systems mean not just for aid, but for any sector grappling with accountability at scale.
