    <title>Myanmar Witness</title>
    <description>This project aims to increase accountability for human rights abuses and violence in Myanmar by using open-source intelligence (OSINT) techniques. These techniques help to identify, document and verify instances of alleged human rights abuses and violence in Myanmar. Project activities include: (1) capturing, analysing, verifying and archiving content related to violence and human rights abuses; (2) equipping the United Nations and the democratic government with reliable evidence to inform action; (3) establishing and maintaining a trusted source of information for media, research, and civil society organizations; and (4) providing open source and data verification capacity building in the local language.</description>
