30 million data collected in 26 countries

Publication of a report about the first 120 days of the pandemic in the 26 countries in Latin America and the most frequent citizen concerns (https://wiconnect.iadb.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Nota-Tecnica-Ciudadania-los-120-primeros-dias-de-la-pandemia.pdf). Constant monitoring with more than 1.5 million data entering the platform every week. Civic indicators allow us to warn about social risks, such as the following:

• Colombia: Civic unrest metrics grew because the tax increase on funeral costs and menstrual hygiene products affected the perception of citizen dignity. Thanks to data monitoring, an alert was issued six days before protests began to be organized.
• Venezuela: Based on 11,500 testimonies, CivicLytics detected a 350% increase in hunger-related testimonies. CivicLytics reported famine situations in Caracas neighborhoods and Venezuelan populations in La Guajira (CO). Fifteen days later, the New York Times reported this same insight.
• Honduras: CivicLytics alerted in early May that citizens were asking for electoral reform to ensure transparency and long-term policies, based on 60,000 analyzed opinions. Two weeks later, the news revealed that the UN urged the Honduran Parliament to approve a new Electoral Law, which was approved at the end of May by the Honduran Congress.
