Final Report: Automated collection and verification of humanitarian information using crowdsourcing

People’s Intelligence (PI) is an “Alert” winner of Tech Challenge for Atrocity Prevention. PI automates the collection of relevant quality humanitarian information from hard to access areas and verifies it by means of crowdsourcing and “dumb” mobile phones.

Upon successful development and deployment, PI will empower victims and witnesses by providing them with actionable information that can save lives in return for quality data about their location, type of incident suffered, number of victims and source of knowledge. Partnering organisations will receive early warnings and will be better informed and equipped to decide where to allocate resources and coordinate their efforts.

The final project report provides information on the methodology, activities, outputs, impact and dissemination of learning.
