13. Our Goals
• Create a way for everyday Kenyans to
report incidents of violence that they saw
• Create an archive of news and reports
around those same events
• Show where the majority of the violence
was happening
14. Building It
• Detailed geospatial data is hard to come
by in Africa
• How much should it be web-based in a
mobile phone culture?
• Mobile phones - getting a full report in 140
characters is not easy
• What data points do we need?
19. Lessons Learned
• The importance of mapping accuracy
• Data poisoning - what happens when
your antagonist starts using it?
• Verification is difficult
• Clarify why it was created and make that
inescapably obvious
• Create a feedback loop to end users
