Join us for our newest No Lost Generation Tech Task Force webinar to learn how Mercy Corps and Cisco, along with a number of other partners and supporters, are working together to provide crisis-affected people around the world with critical information and resources through the Signpost Initiative.

Signpost was developed in 2015 to address the pressing need for reliable information amongst migrants and asylum seekers arriving in Greece and the Balkans. Since its inception, Signpost has expanded to seven countries and served over 700,000 individuals, providing connectivity and user-focused information in Arabic, Farsi, Pashto, Urdu, French, Spanish, and English through an ever-expanding set of channels, including a website, Facebook page, Instagram, blog, and mobile app. Each site provides up-to-date information on legal rights, accommodation, transportation, medical facilities, educational resources, and more. Signpost is supported by Cisco, Google, Microsoft, and Trip Advisor.

Key Takeaways
