In 2025, CDAC launched a new initiative in collaboration with Valent to use AI to identify inauthentic networks and monitor manipulation of online narratives in Sudan’s war. This report examines the project’s co-design ambitions, reviews the integration of AI into humanitarian response, measures the project’s operational impact on Sudanese and international partners, and draws together key lessons from the pilot.

Inauthentic networks use coordinated fake social media accounts, bots and mass engagement tactics to manipulate and amplify narratives at scale. This tipsheet explains how humanitarians can identify coordinated inauthentic network behaviour, assess the risks and respond.

AI governs who gets aid, yet the humanitarian sector has no shared framework to govern AI. SAFE AI’s inaugural briefing establishes why the governance gap is structural, why global frameworks don't translate to humanitarian realities, and what independent assurance must look like.

This how-to note from the SAFE AI Project provides practical guidance for co-designing AI solutions with crisis-affected communities – bridging the divide between humanitarian and technological co-design practices. It aims to improve the delivery of responsible and ethical AI solutions in humanitarian contexts.

This case study from the SAFE AI Project examines real-world challenges in implementing participatory AI through a groundbreaking pilot in Kakuma Refugee Camp and Kalobeyei Settlement.

This factsheet from the FCDO-funded SAFE AI Project provides practical guidance for humanitarians working with AI to understand two different approaches to participation in AI development.
