Activity Description: OSS.net, the leading teacher and practitioner of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) - an intelligence gathering discipline based on aggregating information from open sources - is engaged in a new global campaign to deliver tailored open source information to the poor, as a means of empowering them to rise from poverty.

The campaign, aiming to meld OSINT with the entreprenuerial spirt of the poor by providing communications and access to Internet applications and information, will launch pilot services in the poorest districts of Washington D.C., before expanding to the DR Congo and beyond.
