UN Development Program (UNDP)
As part of our work for UNDP, we organized a series of human-centered design and cybersecurity workshops with the UN Support Mission in Libya and the Libyan High National Election Commission. In these workshops and through our ongoing collaboration, we designed, developed, and sustainably deployed the vote tallying software that is used in all Libyan elections since the formation of the National Transition Council.
In Afghanistan, we are supporting the UN’s largest global trust fund program, the Law and Order Trust Fund for Afghanistan (LOTFA). In this partnership, we developed monitoring and analysis solutions built with the Ona Data and Canopy platforms and training programs to implement them
