Active

Operating in nine regional languages across East Africa and Asia, this platform lets communities flag civic incidents via text, voice, and multimedia, giving local organizations an early read on developing problems so they can act faster. Submissions run through a speech-recognition and translation pipeline built on fine-tuned, low-resource language models, after which they are categorized and pinned to live maps.
