Committed to promoting open data, data governance,
and data-driven decision making in Lebanon.
What We Do
Data Sharing
We provide NGOs with tools to improve data collection, an easy-to-use database that they control to host their data and publish it on our maps - ensuring that personal & sensitive data are available only upon permission.
Mapping
We launched public maps revealing where assessments have been made and compiling geolocated images & 360 degree capture of streets in Beirut.
Drone Imagery & 3D Model
We are collaborating with a team of experts working on deploying drone solutions & building an accessible 3D model of Beirut.
Data Science
We set up a workgroup with data scientists & academics in Lebanon, Europe & the US to publish more useful & insightful reports.

COVID-19 in Lebanon
Lebanon has been using incorrect population data for its COVID-19 lockdown. The total population figure used by the government is 10.6 million, which is 50–75% higher than reality. This means that COVID risks are much higher than reported.
