Ushahidi is a global not-for-profit technology organization based in Kenya that develops integrated tools and services to help people generate solutions and mobilize communities for good. The organization builds open-source software designed to empower people through citizen-generated data to strengthen their communities. Its platform enables users to rapidly gather, analyze, respond to and act on data and information. Since its founding in 2008 as a tool to monitor and map post-election violence in Kenya, Ushahidi's crowdsourcing tools have been used by thousands of groups and millions of people to raise voices, inform decisions, stop suffering and influence change. In late 2015, Ushahidi shifted to a software-as-a-service model and released a new version of its platform. A recent development noted is the launch of an Election Data Resilience initiative in October 2024.
