War Action Research
We designed and built an interactive research platform built around a clickable world map that surfaces current research on global conflict and its impact on women, children and youth.

The challenge
WAR holds research on conflict and its effect on women, children and youth. It needed a way in that made the geography obvious to researchers, practitioners and the public alike.
The solution
We designed and built a platform anchored by a clickable world map: select any country and its research papers come up. Projects and training & consulting sections sit alongside it, laid out like an editorial rather than a report template.
Inside the project.
- Interactive world map: click or tap any country to see its research papers
- Research library organized by country and conflict
