EWER App
JustPeace Labs, contributing to the BuildUp Fellowship program, built a custom app for the Center for Diversity and National Harmony (CDNH) to enable their local network of community monitors to report and verify rumors related to communal tensions.
It is hoped that the app will help increase the number of early warning reports received by CDNH and improve communication with its local network while fostering stronger connections and a greater sense of ownership among them. In response to their reports, CDNH will verify or debunk rumors and provide those updates back to the local networks, who can in turn disseminate accurate information among their communities.
