Digital/IT data and analytics provide an economical and transparent mechanism to handle large volumes of financial transactions and social programs for disadvantaged populations. Data warehousing allows for cost-effective replication of social sector programs across wide areas. Research based on digital databases can create new, sustainable, and effective models for poverty alleviation. The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) uses digital/electronic means to provide unconditional cash transfers to over 5 million beneficiaries, with disbursement costs rising only nominally as disbursements increased substantially. BISP's wealth of data on 7.7 million families is a valuable independent source for various sectors aimed at reducing poverty.

Public Private Partnership: Solution to Electricity Transmission Challenges i...
Power transmission is the life blood of getting electricity to the consumers. This is one aspect that is still being controlled by the Federal Government of Nigeria. Industry analysts have said that massive investment would be required to achieve rapid expansion and modernisation of the transmission infrastructure, which is largely in a decrepit state and the public private partnership (PPP) model is necessary since failure to drive significant increase in transmission capacity, which is a very critical link along the electricity value chain, is capable of jeopardising the ongoing reforms in the sector.

Digital Governance Science Base: Central concepts of digital government science
This document discusses key concepts in digital governance. It defines eGovernance and related terms that are often used interchangeably, such as eGovernment, digital governance, and digital transformation. The document notes there is little conceptualization or theorizing of these terms. It also observes that technology determinism often dominates eGovernance research. The document proposes steps for strengthening eGovernance research, such as more theoretical work distinguishing eGovernance from governance, clarifying the role of information systems, and increasing focus on unintended consequences. Finally, it provides preliminary definitions distinguishing digitization, digitalization, and digital transformation, and asks how these information systems concepts could be utilized in eGovernance research.

Impacts of Budeshi.ng on Nigerian Public Procurement - Ifeoma Judith Onyebuch...
This was presented by Ifeoma Judith Onyebuchi from the Public and Private Development Cente (PPDC) at the Impacts of Civic Technology Conference (TICTeC@Taipei) in Taipei on 12th September 2017. You can find out more information about the conference here: http://civictechfest.org/agenda
Abstract:
As citizens, we should have the right to monitor public contracts, but linking budget and procurement data to services using an open system is a significant challenge. Thus far, the difficulties inherent in tracking this complex area have made it impossible for even the keenest members of society to participate fully at every stage in the procurement cycle.
PPDC, through years of experience around procurement governance, successfully advocated for the adoption of the Open Contracting Data Standards by the Nigerian Government in 2016. Using a dedicated platform known as Budeshi it was possible to demonstrate to public institutions the benefits of using unique identifiers to link budget and procurement data to public services.
The adoption resulted in an influx of requests and commitment from public institutions. One immediate result may be a reduction in the administrative burden of responding to Freedom of Information requests, as procurement information would be proactively published in a coherent way.
The process of piloting these standards holds several lessons, challenges and opportunities that showcase how Civic Technology can transform interactions between government and citizens; and how that can impact public service delivery.

DISEÑO DE TECNOLOGÍAS Y SERVICIOS PARA LA BASE DE LA PIRÁMIDE (Caso FrontLine...
Cuando nos proponemos acercar una tecnología o servicio a la Base de la Pirámide, cabe preguntarse cuestiones como: ¿cómo acertar en el diseño del producto o servicio?; ¿cómo evitar imponer productos que a medio plazo no cumplen adecuadamente con las necesidades de la población?
Uno de los primeros errores que aparecen en este tipo de iniciativas es partir de una concepción predeterminada de cuál es la necesidad de la población y cómo se debe resolver. Sin embargo, diseñar un producto que realmente pueda encajar en una comunidad requiere un profundo y exhaustivo conocimiento de su cultura, costumbres y dinámicas.
En este caso se define como acercarnos a las personas y poder diseñar un sistema de comunicación (SMS), que permita a la población tener acceso a sistemas médicos.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Getting the Most Out of ScyllaDB Monitoring: ShareChat's Tips

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
