The Earth Data Revolution
The world produces more than 100 terabytes of earth observation data every day. The volume and variety of datasets as well as the speed and veracity in which data is received will transform the way we analyse information, set policies and make decisions.
The Ushahidi Platform
The Ushahidi Platform helps communities turn information into action with an intuitive and accessible crowdsourcing and mapping tool. By enabling the rapid collection, management and analysis of crowdsourced information, Ushahidi empowers everyone—individuals, community groups, governments, activists, organizations—to create meaningful change.
Theory of Change
Our goal is to raise an additional 20 million voices by 2026. How?
Here’s our three-part hypothesis
Part 1 : Ushahidi
We provide technology and expertise to mission-aligned organizations and communities.
Part 2 : Partners
Partners use the Ushahidi Platform to collect data to raise citizen voices.
Part 3 : Systems Level Change
As voices are amplified, organizational effectiveness grows and social impact is strengthened.
