A group of Brazilian Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), supported by Fern, initiated a project in 2023 to develop a pilot Platform that aims to integrate different data about human rights impacts and related conflicts. This initial process culminated in February 2025 with the launch of a first prototype: an interactive ‘Social Platform’ providing georeferenced data on rural and land conflicts.
A network of Brazilian CSOs, coordinated by Instituto Sociedade População Natureza (ISPN), is now working intensively to expand and refine the Platform with the aim of creating a publicly accessible, open-access tool that responds to the priorities and data needs of CSOs and rightsholders in Brazil.
This report provides an overview of the process behind the establishment of this Platform, showcases the pilot study that was developed, and presents lessons learned, which might also be relevant for similar initiatives to be developed in other countries.
