A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

IN RE : SMOG TOWERS
REPORT NO. 106 SUBMITTED BY EPCA
Undertakings have been furnished by the Secretary of Ministry
of Environment, Forests and Climate Change, Govt. of India as well
as the Principal Secretary of the Department of Environment and
Forests, Govt. Of NCT of Delhi, that they will be completing the
work relating to Smog Towers within 10 months and the requisite
money has been transferred to the Tata Consultancy, and it is
stated in the affidavit filed on behalf of the MoEF that a sum of
Rs. 52 Lakhs has also been transferred to Clean air- CARE LLC,
which is the licensee of University of Minnesota. Similar is the
stand of Govt. of NCT of Delhi. Undertakings are taken on record.
Any violation on any ground whatsoever shall be treated as contempt
of the order passed by this Court as there is already huge
unjustified delay in making the compliance of the order. However,
since steps are being taken and undertakings have been furnished,
we have not proceeded for violation of the order passed by this
Court, only on the basis of the action taken and undertakings
furnished to complete the project. Let the project be positively
completed within 10 months.
IN : REPORT NO. 111 – PILING UP OF THE WASTE/GARBAGE BY THE SIDES
OF RAILWAY TRACKS IN DELHI
Report No. 111 has been submitted by EPCA, in which it has
pointed out the following :-
13. 13
“In this situation, EPCA would submit for the
consideration of the Hon’ble Supreme Court the
following :-
Indian Railways is not in compliance with the
Municipal Solid Waste Management Rules 2016,
which require the bulk waste generator to
operationalise a plan for all waste generated.
The Hon’ble Supreme Court, may direct Indian
Railways to present a time-bound plan for the
following :-
1. Inventory of all solid waste generated in the
Northern Region, starting with Delhi and its
vicinity. This inventory must include the waste
generated in trains and in the stations.
2. Inventory of all lands belonging to it (along
the tracks and other land pieces) where there are
waste dumps/discard of plastic and other waste
and its plans to handle this on a long-terms
basis.
3. Plan for management of solid waste as a bulk
generator, to ensure compliance with the MSW
Rules, 2016. These plans must be comprehensive
so that all solid waste generated is segregated
at source; bio-degradable waste is composted and
the rest is given to authorised waste
recyclers/pickers. The plan must be time-bound
and with clear monitoring provisions.”
We have considered the affidavit filed by Sh. Ashwani Kumar
Yadav, Additional Divisional Railway Manager at DRM Office, Delhi
Division, Northern Railway, Ministry of Railways. It is stated in
the affidavit that they are acting in coordination with the South
Delhi Municipal Corporation, pursuant to the directions issued by
this Court on 28.02.2020. Meetings were convened on 05.03.2020 and
14. 14
17.03.2020. A letter was also written on 28.07.2020 in this
regard. The Railways, in consultation with the SDMC, devised an
action plan to address the problem of dumping of plastic bags,
piling of waste and garbage in the Railway premises and along with
Railway lines which was sent to the SDMC vide letter dated
05.08.2020, filed as Annexure R2 to the Affidavit.
It is also pointed out in the affidavit filed on behalf of the
Railways that there are predominant presence of jhuggies in Delhi
along with 140 km route length of track in the region of NCT of
Delhi where the railway tracks take off in different directions and
also include a ring connecting the takeoff of all these routes.
Out of this, about 70 km route length of track is affected by large
jhuggie jhopri clusters existing in close vicinity of the tracks.
These clusters sum up to a total of about 48000 nos of Jhuggies in
the region adjacent to Railway tracks.
Special Task Force for removal of encroachments from the
Railway Property has already been constituted by Railway in terms
of the directions and order dated 01.10.2018 passed by the NGT PB
New Delhi. There seems to be some political intervention against
removal of such encroachments which are coming in the way. There
are certain encroachments which are within the safety zone of the
Railways. It is further stated in the affidavit that the Railways
have doubled the efforts towards maintaining the clean environment
on tracks leading to Delhi and nearby tracks. The Railways
highlight that the added dimension requires manpower for the
purpose and is to be met by the staff which is already handling the
work of railway operations.
15. 15
The Railways has placed on record the task of cleaning the
tracks which can be taken in a phased manner and with the
cooperation of the statutory authority like Delhi Urban Shelter
Improvement Board, Corporations and the State Governments. Other
steps taken by the Railways have also been delineated. There is
involvement of law and order issues also.
We have heard Ms. Aishwarya Bhati, ASG, Ms. Aparajita Singh,
learned Amicus Curiae, Mr.Dinesh Dwivedi and Mr. Wasim A. Qadri,
learned senior counsel and other learned counsel appearing on
behalf of the Corporations. We direct that let the plan be
executed with respect to removal of the plastic bags, garbage etc.
within a period of three months and a meeting of all the
stakeholders, i.e. Railways, Govt. of NCT of Delhi and concerned
Municipal Corporations as well as Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement
Trust (DUISB) be called next week and work be started forthwith.
70% of the requisite amount shall be borne by the Railways and 30%
by the State Government. The manpower be provided by the SDMC,
Railways and agencies available with the Government, free of cost,
and they will not charge it from each other. SDMC, Railways and
other agencies to ensure that their Contractors do not put the
waste/garbage on the sides of the railway tracks.
We also direct all the stakeholders that a comprehensive plan
for removal of jhuggies be made and executed in a phased manner.
The encroachments which are there in the safety zones should be
removed within a period of three months and no interference,
political or otherwise, should be there and no Court shall grant
any stay with respect to removal of the encroachments in the area
16. 16
in question. In case any interim order is granted with respect to
encroachments, which have been made along with railway tracks, that
shall not be effective. Mr. Wasim A. Qadri, learned senior counsel
appearing for SDMC, has undertaken the responsibility to remove all
the waste/garbage at the specified places where the Railways put
the garbage and this will not be a temporary measure, but the
Railways shall also prepare a long term scheme that no such piling
of the wastes takes place along with the sides of the railways
tracks.
The picture painted in the Report of the EPCA as well as in
the reply filed by the Railways indicates that nothing has been
done so far and waste is being piled up and at the same time, there
is human habitation which has come in the same area unauthorisedly,
which are required to be taken care of. Let the action taken be
reported to this Court within a period of one month. List
thereafter.
