About the Response Innovation Lab (RIL)

Founded by humanitarian leaders from World Vision, Save the Children, Oxfam, George Washington University, and Civic, RIL bridges the gap between humanitarian responders and the innovation ecosystem. Rather than replacing existing incubators or accelerators, RIL acts as a connector and amplifier of solutions that address real challenges in delivering aid effectively in emergency settings.

RIL fosters inclusive ecosystems, empowering local communities, NGOs, governments, and innovators to co-create, adapt, and scale solutions that address barriers to aid delivery. Through strategic support, RIL enhances the impact of humanitarian actors on the ground and within vulnerable populations.
