Description

UNICEF is investing in Magic Box, a collaborative platform that is made possible through the contributions of private sector partners such as Telefonica, Google, IBM, Amadeus and Red Hat which share their data and expertise for public good. With the help of partners, UNICEF’s Office of Innovation is developing a software platform that intended to use real-time data to inform life-saving humanitarian responses to emergency situations. This open-source platform ingests data from both public sources and from private sector partners, and generates insights based on methodologies and AI algorithms. These insights are made available to the development and humanitarian partners through an API and user interfaces.
