POORER IN COMMUNITIES
 with examples from BROSDI
                by
        Karamagi Ednah
    Executive Director, BROSDI
Presentation Trend …


• A little on “Social Media” &
  “BROSDI”

• Approach from the angle: “if we were
  asked to use social media to
  implement/design a project, this are
  points we would take seriously into
  consideration”

• Share examples of “how we are
  using social media”

• Sharing some success stories from
  BROSDI
Explaining BROSDI …
• Who? What? Is BROSDI?
Busoga
Rural
Open Source & Development Initiative

•    Focus Areas
    • Target rural household communities
    • We use ICT
    • Knowledge sharing &information
       management
    • Empower target group
    • Adopt the OSDI approach
•    BROSDI works closely with : -
    • Government
    • Civil society
    • Private sector

•    Programs
    • Education, Health and Agriculture
What is “Social Media”?
•   Social Media includes web-based and mobile
    based technologies which are used to turn
    communication into interactive dialogue
    between organizations, communities, and
    individuals
                                     ... Wikipedia

•   Social media can include text, audio, video,
    images, podcasts, and other multimedia
    communications. Common examples are: -
    •   Blogs
    •   You tube
    •   Facebook, Linked In
    •   Twitter
    •   D groups and more…
Using Social Media …
For the case of using Social Media, it can
be used in two main stages: -

•     Direct stage
      •   Use social media applications directly e.g.
          blogging directly

•     Secondary stage
      •   First use one method then social media
          as the second stage e.g. capture an
          activity, edit it then upload to You Tube

      •   First use more than one method then use
          social media as the third party e.g.
          mobilize and conduct a farmers forum,
          document the knowledge shared using
          text, voice and audio, transform these into
          an article using a computer, then upload
          on your Facebook page
Points we would take into
consideration when using social
      media for rural projects …
•   Take the “listening chair” and not the
    “instructing chair”

•   Be well equipped with the a variety of
    social media options

•   Do not drown in the Social Media Pool

•   Presence of content

•   Be flexible
    •   Use other applications and at some point
        incorporate social media
    •   Slowly but surely let go of an application
        that is not reaping results

•   Need access to the internet
•   Need electricity
    •   For the computers
    •   To charge the gadgets
    •   Late night working
    •   For other related activities e.g. typing the articles,
        editing the photos before upload

•   Train the group and give extra to one most
    educated and/or interested member: -
    •   who will step in your shoes when you go
    •   To use added applications like Skype for future
        communication. Use mobile phone for this

•   Do not impose methods RATHER teach them the
    method and let their minds flow

•   Be patient … very patient

•   Believe in yourself , be positive & confident,
    respond positively to negative reactions

•   Effective & Efficient internal communication
Examples of Social Media
        BROSDI uses…
1. For administration purposes
  •   Yammer,
  •   Pbworks
  •   Google Docs
  •   Skype and Yahoo Chat
  •   Mikogo
  •   Team viewer
  •   Facebook
      •   as a stress suppressant
      •   For added team building and
          strengthnening
2. For collecting information
    • Google
    • Skype (more of clarification of
      content)

• Over 95% of our content in the Agriculture project is
  collected from Monthly Farmers Forums

• All our health generated content is from the
  students and responding volunteers

• All the education generated content is from the
  orphan children themselves
3. For disseminating content
  • Blogs
    •   Blogging e.g. Wordpress
    •   Micro blogging e.g. Twitter
    •   Video blogging e.g. U Tube, Vimeo
