What are people saying about Unite Ideas?
| "As the Chief Information Technology Officer, I invite the global community of data scientists to partner with the United Nations in our mandate to harness the power of data analytics and visualization to uncover new knowledge about UN-related topics such as human rights, environmental issues, and political affairs". Ms. Atefeh Riazi - (Former) Chief Information Technology Officer at the United Nations |
 | "Working with the UN’s Unite Ideas platform and team-enabled IDMC leverage the efforts of brilliant, talented data scientists from around the world. Thanks to Unite Ideas, we were able to move much more quickly than if we had developed our tool ourselves. Using this platform also gave us the opportunity to call attention to the issue of internal displacement and introduce it and our work to a community that we had not previously engaged with. We’re quite pleased with the submissions we received, and on the whole, this can only be classified as a huge success. We can’t wait to collaborate with Unite Ideas again!" Mr. Justin Ginnetti, Data and Analysis, Head of Department, IDMC Geneva (http://www.internal-displacement.org/) |
