Overview
History of BRaVe
The first version of BRaVe, a fully static desktop-based version, was launched in 2014 and has seen continued use since then. More recently a mobile version, internally referred to as BRaVe 2, was piloted in Somalia and a number of countries. In August 2025, development began on BRaVe 3, a comprehensive rearchitecturing and rebuild of the system, replacing both version 2 and 3, with a subsequent launch in 2026. The first open source release of BRaVE was in June 2026.
Feature Roadmap
The feature roadmap for 2026 and 2027 is currently in development.
License
BRaVe 3 is released under the open-source GNU Affero General Public License version 3.
