Abstract:
Public Relations have been an integral part of human communications, since time immoral. It developed as an art and science in the 20th century. Today, there is no sector, whether it be Government, Private or NGOs, who do edgy in their operations. The ever escalating cost of advertising too has contributed to the significant growth of this industry.
While Public Relations, known by other sophisticated names such as advocacy, spin doctor, spin in-spin out etc, has immensely contributed towards highlighting socio-cultural issues, development affairs, exploring the innovative inventions, maintaining and harnessing the organization goodwill in the market. As far as grassroots innovators are concerns they do have knowledge abundance, and some want to use this knowledge to try things out. Public Relations is the tool to promote and explore those knowledge abundance across the human being.
Beyond the First Click: How today’s volunteers build power for movements and ...MobLab
If movements and organizations invest in and cultivate supporters who are doing substantial and meaningful work, then does their reach, impact and odds of success increase?
That’s the question we set out to explore.
We wanted to look under the hood of organizations doing a great job engaging top-tier supporters and volunteer leaders. These organizations are creating opportunities for supporters and volunteers to make decisions and act on behalf of the organisation.
We sought to uncover insights, patterns and best practices that we could share with our colleagues in the nonprofit sector.
We interviewed 35 organizations and experts in eight countries. Beyond the First Click is a project of Capulet, Change.org and the Mobilisation Lab at Greenpeace.
New media outreach for NGOs: a case study on the US Campaign for BurmaAudubon McKeown D.
The United States Campaign for Burma (USCB) uses new media and online outreach strategies to advocate for freedom in Burma and put pressure on the ruling military junta. Their strategies include distributing user-generated content, leveraging celebrity support in online video campaigns, utilizing social networks to organize spontaneous actions, and communicating with supporters through both online and offline methods. While some of their initiatives have been successful at raising awareness and gaining new supporters, USCB also faces challenges in managing an expanding amount of user-generated content, promoting their media strategically, and maintaining supporter involvement over the long term given limitations on staff and resources.

Innovative Uses of Technology in the Public Sector
Stephen Fridakis, Chief, IT Programs & Quality Assurance, UNICEF
The use of technology, innovations in use around the world, and the impact on public financial management will be the subject of this session.
The document presents a maturity model called "Crawl, Walk, Run, Fly" to help non-profits improve their use of social media and other emerging technologies. It describes four levels of practice: Crawl (not using or inconsistent use), Walk (using one tool but not strategically), Run (using tools strategically but needing to scale), and Fly (having mastered strategic and scaled use). Moving from level to level involves taking incremental steps to develop communications strategies, build internal capacity, engage audiences, and implement best practices for measurement and learning. The goal is for non-profits to continuously improve their ability to use digital tools to further their missions.

The document discusses digital marketing and its use in political campaigns. It provides details on how Narendra Modi leveraged social media and optimized online content to establish his brand and image during his election campaign. He utilized platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and others to directly connect with masses and disseminate information. Modi also seeded the internet with excessive positive content about himself on forums, websites and blogs to portray his desired image and remove any negativity. He worked to establish a transparent image by publicly documenting his on-ground activities and development work online. His social media presence and optimized digital strategy helped strengthen his visibility and brand.
This document discusses challenges to deepening democracy through increased citizen participation and proposes an initiative to address these challenges. It identifies three main challenges: 1) lack of leadership champions for participatory initiatives, 2) lack of agreement on the role of non-electoral citizen participation, and 3) initiatives that are trivial in scope. The proposed initiative aims to increase citizen engagement, government transparency and legitimacy, and policy outcomes. It will use a non-profit partner and information and communication technologies to facilitate engagement and will evaluate success using various indicators to measure inputs, outputs, processes, outcomes and impacts.

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.

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.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.
