The Sentinel Project for Genocide Prevention

Purpose

This project aims to improve stability, enhance social cohesion, and strengthen resilience in South Sudan. It does so through an early warning system that connects communities and enables them to verify potential misinformation and disinformation. Project activities include: (1) enhancing and scaling up an early warning system that enables subscribers to monitor, verify, and counter spreading misinformation, and communicate early warning signals; (2) expanding networks to coordinate verification and localized early warning processes; and (3) raising awareness about the problem of misinformation and disinformation and the value of early warning for preventing conflict and violence.
