Call for Proposals: Conflict Early Warning Software Development

Do you have experience in System development?

The Sentinel Project (SP) is a registered charity dedicated to assisting communities threatened by mass atrocities worldwide through direct cooperation with the people in harm’s way and the innovative use of technology. SP seeks to learn from how crimes against humanity unfolded in the past and are unfolding in the present to find ways to prevent and mitigate them in the future. The SP team consists of people with expertise on a range of topics, including localized early warning, hate speech monitoring, countering harmful rumours and misinformation, and the use of geospatial imagery to support the prevention and mitigation of violence. SP has worked in countries including Kenya, Uganda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, and Myanmar. We are currently focused on expanding our conflict early warning work into Burkina Faso and Benin.

The Sentinel Project is seeking proposals from qualified individual software developers, small teams, and companies to design and develop software for a conflict early warning system that supports the collection, analysis, visualization, and reporting of conflict-related data, enabling teams and communities to make guided, informed decisions before and during periods of violence.
