Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe - Data Privacy Study

Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe provides humanitarian aid worldwide and wanted to protect its programme, operational and donor data. We analysed the findings of its data protection self-assessment workshops, drafted data protection guidelines, rolled them out in workshops with HR and regional offices, and defined next steps for the organisation and its local partners.

Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe (DKH) provides humanitarian aid worldwide. It supports victims of natural disasters, war and displaced populations in emergency situations with aid measures designed to suit the local economic and social conditions and political context of a specific country or region.

The organization is part of the Evangelisches Werk für Diakonie und Entwicklung e.V. (EWDE), the Social Service Agency of the German Protestant Church with HQ in Berlin and regional offices in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

DKH was seeking a consultancy firm to provide data protection guidelines and tools equipping the organization to protect program, operational and donor data. The final aim was to strengthen partner capacity in a consistent and competent way.

The challenge

  • Analyse and report findings of DKH data protection self-assessment workshops
  • Handle modern Data Privacy challenges
  • Set up an organisation wide Data Protection Policy

What we did

  • Draft DKH data protection guidelines
  • Roll out DKH data protection guidelines in workshops at HR and regional office level
  • Define next steps and ways forward for DKH at all levels, as well as its local partners

This has been a very important step for us as an organization towards data protection at all levels and the outputs provided staff with concrete guidelines and tools to apply the theory into practice on the ground.
