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
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?

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

On Activism
Activist   Issue   Antagonist
It turns out activists are just everyday people,
      most with limited technical acumen.

       Mapping for activism
