Notes de l'éditeur
- Born out of problems of bad governance, poverty, low bandwidth, and all those bad things we like to associate with africa, Ushahidi is a swahili word that means testimony. It was born out of the post election violence that broke out in Kenya after the contested general elections held in Dec 2007. more than 500K displaced, 1200 killed. Our country was literally burning, and the govt was trying to downplay it, while the mainstream media was unable to report what was happening countrywide.
- Response of 4 kenyan Bloggers, Ory Okolloh, Juliana Rotich, Erik Hersman and David Kobia was to create a web mashup that allowd ordinary citizens send in reports via sms, email, web form and twitter of human rights violations. Effectively giving kenyans a voice when no one else could, or would. http://legacy.ushahidi.com
- The platform targeted the default device, the mobile phone. Making use of the tools we already have.It is the tool with the greatest outreach, esp during times of crisis, and the greatest potential.
- Who are we? Non for profit tech company that specialises in development of open source tools for information collection, visualisation and interactive mapping. Our tools democratise info(openness), increase transparency, and lower barriers for people to share their stories.
- - Since the platform was first built in 2008, it has been used across the globe in a variety of situations. - Part of the reason for this is the core philosophy behind the initial development: “ If it works in Africa, it can work anywhere ” Build something in first world countries technologically, it may be difficult to absorb her, but the other way round, is bound to work
- It ’ s also played a key role in Disaster Response. Most notably to monitor the fallout of tsunami and nuclear crisis in Japan. Also during the Haiti earthquake response, the map allowed Haitians to report their location and needs.
- The platform has been used for Election Monitoring. Maidan Monitor in Ukraine and U-cha-gu-zee in Kenya are two examples.
- It ’ s also been used for Citizen Journalism. HarrassMap helped bring awareness to sexual harassment in Egypt. Oil Spill Crisis Map was used to document human and ecological impact of the oil spill.
- Local examples in Romania + Ukraine
- Since the Haiti earthquake, Ushahidi has had a number of innovations to improve the platform. Problem : Ushahidi servers are often too difficult to deploy for non-technical users Solution : Create hosted Ushahidi servers ‘ in the cloud ’ , only takes a few minutes to setup your own map. Interesting, Crowdmap now often becomes the first step, and the data later migrated to an actual deployment. This gives deployment teams time to customize the server, while still receiving incoming reports.
- Our capacity to report eyewitness information is vastly increasing. But the ability to consume it & understand it is not. Challenge? Small trickle of information can quickly become a flood.How do you know what to listen to? Mumbai – Managing the crisis became a crisis itself. 10 0reports, 2 volunteers Information overload
- Curate and filter content to make sense of all the noise in the flood of information through management of realtime data streams
- Ushahidi platform is just a tool, not a solution. The technology will contribute to about 10% of the success of your initiatives. The other 90% will be largely dependent on the partnerships that will be made. Outreach, branding, translation. How to make the information actionable. Media houses, redcross, authorities as was the case in Uchaguzi, where information that was flagged as high risk was sent in to the authorities to act upon.
- The information landscape has changed. It is no longer about a one way conversation, where information flows from the top, trickling down. Changing the way information flows in the world
