State of the art technology such as satellite imagery, social media analysis, and geospatial data help save lives in humanitarian crises. PeaceEye is a conflict mapping and early warning tool that utilizes these technologies to monitor populations, the environment, and social indicators of stress to provide preparedness, risk assessment, and early warning of conflicts. It aims to support humanitarian organizations and peace activists working in places like South Sudan that experience regular outbreaks of violence.
