Signpost 

Winner of the UN Sustainable Development Goals Award in 2023, Signpost is a digitally enabled responsive information service that supports and empowers populations in crisis, including asylum-seekers, migrants, and people who have experienced violence. Signpost meets communities on the digital platforms they already use and aims to deliver information that is contextualized to their specific needs and speaks to their lived realities, so that they can make informed decisions about how to stay safe, exercise their rights, and get access to services. This approach draws on evidence that people are more likely to trust and act on information that is responsive to their needs and that comes from âpeersâ rather than authority figures. Signpost was developed by the IRC and Mercy Corps in 2015 in Greece and is now active in over 20 countries on 5 continents.

Signpost As a Digital Safety Net for Unaccompanied Children 

IRC launched the Signpost instance ImportaMí in September 2021, to reach unaccompanied migrant and asylum-seeking children who are at risk of falling through the cracks, vulnerable to receiving in absentia removal orders, or missed opportunities to secure lawful immigration status, as well as to exploitation, trafficking, or social exclusion.
