At UNSW IS4SSR, we’re purpose driven in our mission to strengthen resilience in highly vulnerable and high risk states. We work alongside local leaders and reformers to co-design solutions that build stability, support reform and empower communities from within.
Leveraging world leading technologies, including AI, machine learning, digital twinning and advanced analytics, we create intelligent systems that enhance decision making, foster social cohesion and drive economic and institutional renewal.
Our work addresses the complex and interconnected challenges facing fragile states, including insecurity, corruption, gender based violence (GBV), Sorcery Accusation Related Violence (SARV), digital authoritarianism, gender inequality, climate change and chronic underdevelopment.
