Map Kibera Model: expand the conversation!
• Training in use of new technologies for development (mapping, interactive websites, video, mobile)
• Engagement with specific geographic communities in-depth
• Flexibility in application based on tools needed
• Support open, accessible information, storytelling, ability to collect and represent information for advocacy, planning
• Make connections between community-owned and shared info and larger institutions as well as global tech communities
…but this model is not fixed! It all started with a map…

BUT
What's it good for in a place like Kibera?
The question we were constantly asked
and asking ourselves
-Very few with internet access-Most mobiles also basic
-Everyone already knows how to get around
![Page 24: Map Kibera - University of Sussex IDS](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050801/55583af9d8b42acb078b4b82/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
* open data ... all about potentialPotential of Open DataCan be a little abstract in Kibera
![Page 25: Map Kibera - University of Sussex IDS](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050801/55583af9d8b42acb078b4b82/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
GroundTruth Initiative … Our vision
Create a corps of citizens in the developing world who are versed in a variety of new technologies and empowered to report on, tell stories about, and generate data, news reports, and map information about themselves and their community, and to use that information for action.
![Page 26: Map Kibera - University of Sussex IDS](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050801/55583af9d8b42acb078b4b82/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Some basic GroundTruth principles:
• Communities hold latent information about themselves and are the most reliable, important knowledge-holders for development.
•Technology provides a means for communities to share, debate, and impact dialogue around development, even creatinginformation resources that bypass traditional means of data collection.
• Crowd-sourced information and citizen media are critical means for these communities to have greater influence over policies and perceptions that affect them.

• A group of engaged and skilled citizens, mappers, and journalists
• Linkages between Nairobi tech scene and slumdwellers
• Platforms and mediums to share the information locally and globally (printed maps, SMS reporting, USHAHIDI and new media creation).
• Slowly building movement for shared and open information among NGOs and CBOs
Map Kibera Results:

• Register mapping group locally• Expand to other communities in and around
Kenya – including the other slums in Nairobi • Taking the model to Haiti and elsewhere via
GroundTruth• Materials and curriculum, thorough
documentation and training others• Maps for Data: your surveys for our printout
Plans:

• Map Kibera website, blog, and wiki explain in detail most of our development – we are not afraid to expose failures or thinking process!
• All our outputs are re-usable, open and free• We’re actively trying to reduce the number of
data-collection exercises (baselines, household surveys, evaluations)
• We don’t think bigger is always better when it comes to development
What is different about us?
![Page 54: Map Kibera - University of Sussex IDS](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050801/55583af9d8b42acb078b4b82/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
• Organizations don’t usually collaborate or share information
• Kibera is a distorted economy• Volunteerism is not easy in a poor community• Skepticism and cynicism in Kibera • Technology challenges – electricity, familiarity• Sustainability financially and technically• Donor structures favor silos and wheel re-
invention
Issues and Challenges:
![Page 55: Map Kibera - University of Sussex IDS](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050801/55583af9d8b42acb078b4b82/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Things we’ve learned the hard way:
• Best to target those with vested interest in specific issue areas rather than general
• When it’s better not to pay• You have to demonstrate and get hands-on• There are always early-adopters and those
who “get it” – they are your best friends• Not everyone needs a map• Journalism can be physically dangerous• Information is sometimes hidden for a reason –
but usually for no reason
![Page 56: Map Kibera - University of Sussex IDS](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050801/55583af9d8b42acb078b4b82/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
