2025 was the year inwhich Commit Global, the international organization built on the back bone of Code for Romania, continued its efforts to implement the digital infrastructure developed in Romania, in the humanitarian and civic fields, in countries such as Liban | Armenia | Mexico.

At the beginning of 2025, the Code for Romania team travelled to Mexico to support IOM, the Missing Peoples Commission and staff from shelters along the border by implementing the “UnAcoperiș” solution as a shelter‑management system.

Developed in 2022 for the Romanian Department for Emergency Situations to manage the influx of Ukrainian refugees, “UnAcoperiș” is a language‑independent technology that can be deployed in 48 hours and is offered free of charge, at minimal cost, to organisations that need it.
