The Tensions Pulse aims to equip decision makers and humanitarian actors with timely, evidence-driven insights to support informed planning and response adaptation. It features a Tensions Dashboard, Online Narratives section, Map of Geographical Hotspots, and a “What to Watch” segment outlining emerging issues to monitor closely.

The Tensions Pulse draws on analysis conducted through UNDP’s Tensions Monitoring System (TMS), combining open-source monitoring, social media monitoring, with field inputs coordinated with government and partner organizations. Information is triangulated with publicly available reporting and verified where possible.
