This document discusses how crowdsourcing can be used effectively for social governance and emergency response. It provides examples of how crowdsourced data was used to map crisis situations in Haiti and Libya in near real-time. While concerns about data verification and costs exist, the document argues that crowdsourcing can deliver actionable data if best practices are followed around structuring data collection and producing digestible reports. It suggests crowdsourcing could improve existing public services and help address major challenges in countries.

Crowdsourcing for Disaster Response and Emergency Movement
This document discusses the use of crowdsourcing for disaster response and emergency management. It notes that while official agencies often use social media to share real-time updates, data from the public can also be timely and validated. Crowdsourcing involves actively engaging the public to complete specific tasks, allowing for two-way feedback. The document outlines some typical misconceptions but argues that digital volunteers often have verification protocols and leverage official sources, producing data that can be as or more accurate than official sources. Examples are provided of past activations where crowdsourcing supported responses to hurricanes through activities like mapping buildings and roads in Puerto Rico and tracking hospital statuses.

SCO: Making the Case for Open GIS Data in Wisconsin - WLIA - Feb2015Wisconsin State Cartographer's Office
This document makes the case for open GIS data in Wisconsin by outlining the benefits of a shared basemap, resolved jurisdictional boundaries, and citizen engagement through technology. It discusses trends toward open data, including public-private partnerships and government transparency. The rationale given is that the Wisconsin GIS community is well-positioned to take a leadership role in consistent, open access to state and local geospatial data. This could enable new applications, accountability, and economic development through real estate data. The document proposes analyzing policies, watching for modernization opportunities, examining municipal models, assessing high-demand data, and expanding open data publication over time. Potential benefits include efficiencies, improved services, and engagement with officials and outside innovators.You Don't Have to be Big to be Strong 2

AIM: Data protection, data governance, data management
The current national safeguarding programs rely on information from partners and only identify vulnerable people already known to services. There is a need for improved intelligence sharing to proactively recognize safeguarding concerns. The proposed Active Intervention Management (AIM) system would use basic demographic data and service interaction histories from partners like health, police, social services to provide a view-only dashboard identifying individuals who may need review before issues escalate, allowing a more proactive approach to safeguarding. Implementing AIM would require securing funding, agreeing to share minimum data sets, and setting up integrated data sharing between partners and a central hub.

Online fundraising
This document discusses effective online fundraising strategies and provides examples from Korea. It begins by outlining conditions for successful online fundraising, including having an established giving culture, strong IT infrastructure, and donor confidence in online donations. It then highlights Korea's giving culture, widespread IT usage, and how organizations there have integrated online capacities like donor databases. Two case studies from Korean NGOs are presented, showing how they increased members, donors, and funds through advocacy, events, volunteer recruitment, and fundraising online and through mobile technologies. The document concludes that with Hong Kong's high internet usage, online fundraising could also be successful with the right strategies around driving traffic, understanding audiences, maintaining brands, and keeping responses flexible.
Expanding Beyond Urban Centers: Putting the "Connect" in the Connector (Part 2)
This document discusses the use of the Get Covered Connector tool by various health centers and organizations in Illinois during the recent Open Enrollment period. It provides examples of how the Connector helped streamline appointment scheduling and management for assistors at places like Whiteside County Community Health Clinic, Aunt Martha's, and Heartland Community Health Clinic. It also discusses plans for using the Connector and its reporting features differently in the next Open Enrollment to better track outcomes and coordinate assistance across community partners.
Using Data to Support Partner Coordination
The document discusses how data was used to coordinate outreach efforts between partner organizations in Colorado during the Affordable Care Act enrollment period. Data sharing allowed partners to avoid duplicating outreach to the same consumers by assigning "turfs" or geographic areas to different organizations. A direct mail campaign and follow up robocalls were used to conduct outreach across multiple partner turfs, with the mailing list and robocall data shared between partners to facilitate referrals and follow up outreach. Tracking consumer interactions in a shared database allowed effective coordination and referral of consumers between outreach and enrollment assistance organizations.
The Future of Volunteer Management
Technology trends are continuously changing and improving the way we work and communicate with each other. Staying on top of these trends is essential in developing new strategies for attracting, engaging, and retaining volunteers. Join the founders of Kindness Connect, Jonathan Burns and Kevan Osmond, as they explore these changes and how you can best utilize new and affordable technology to maintain an effective and engaged volunteer program.

Promoting Green And Inclusive Growth In The Caribbean :: James Husbands
The document discusses promoting green and inclusive growth in the Caribbean through increased use of renewable energy. It notes that the Caribbean relies heavily on oil imports, which have doubled in cost in recent years. This presents challenges in balancing economic development with reducing poverty and climate change impacts. The document proposes widespread development and deployment of renewable energy technologies like solar, wind, hydro, and biomass as a solution to high energy prices and climate change, and to create new jobs. It provides examples of existing renewable energy projects in the Caribbean and highlights the region's abundant renewable energy resources. The overall goal is to optimize use of diverse Caribbean energy resources to meet needs efficiently and sustainably through greater renewable energy adoption and regional energy cooperation.
What is Green and Inclusive Growth? :: Jordan Schwartz
This document discusses green and inclusive growth in Latin America and the Caribbean. It defines green growth as economic growth that is environmentally sustainable in a way that is clean, efficient and resilient. Inclusive green growth aims to ensure the benefits of green growth also reach the poor. The region has pioneered many inclusive green growth policies and projects around payments for ecosystem services, slum upgrading, and renewable energy. However, challenges remain around governance, social acceptance and entrenched behaviors. Specific sectors discussed include urban development, transportation, and energy. Transitioning to more renewable and interconnected energy sources in the Caribbean could save billions while providing universal access, but requires significant investment and cross-country cooperation.
The University of the West Indies :: E. Nigel Harris
The document discusses ways that universities can better contribute to economic growth in the Caribbean region.

Overcoming Barriers to Caribbean Innovation – Towards a Restructuring of the ...
The document discusses barriers to innovation in the Caribbean and proposes ways to overcome them. It begins by outlining the link between innovation, productivity, competitiveness and prosperity. It then notes that the Caribbean economy has been trapped in low growth due to a lack of innovation. Despite foreign investment, firm productivity and competitiveness rankings have declined. The document proposes that the Caribbean needs to shift from resource-based to innovation-based economies. It recommends unleashing human talent potential through creativity training and supportive work environments. Bringing together government, businesses and academia in a "triple helix" model is suggested to build consensus on fostering innovation.
Cgf summary skills-employabilitycompetitiveness
The document discusses challenges for youth employment in the Caribbean region. It notes that while educational attainment has increased, the education system does not adequately develop skills needed in today's society. Test scores are low and content is often disconnected from economic needs. Globalization has increased youth aspirations that do not match local realities. However, countries are working to reform education and offer training programs to improve employability and entrepreneurship opportunities for out-of-school youth. Key discussions highlighted how the education system stifles creativity and does not adapt to gender differences, with boys facing particular challenges. Reforms are needed to diversify teaching areas and incorporate skills like ICT.

Key messages discuss how innovation thrives on collaboration, and how economic incentives can drive sustainability through creative problem solving in schools and firms. Crowdsourcing can also improve public services and entrepreneurship. Participants noted lessons from other countries' innovation policies and instruments, interest in regional open data initiatives, and how crowdsourcing could help with natural disaster
Cgf summary access-tofinance
This document discusses access to finance for MSMEs in the Caribbean. It notes that banks need thorough business information to evaluate loan applications, so MSMEs must have good organization and record keeping. A business plan alone is not enough for approval - banks also consider industry risks and the owner's abilities. Loans to MSMEs generally have higher interest rates due to higher risk profiles. The discussion highlighted gaps in MSMEs' understanding of their businesses from the bankers' perspective. While training programs exist, more experiential learning is needed versus generic sessions. Establishing a better enabling environment through guarantees, tax breaks, and faster registration could help address the large gaps in access to finance for MSMEs.
Cgf summary macro session
This document discusses challenges facing small Caribbean economies and strategies to address debt and growth issues. It identifies that countries face common challenges like natural disasters, poverty, and vulnerability to external shocks. However, these challenges can be overcome with appropriate macroeconomic policies and structural reforms that increase productivity, diversify exports, and create resilience funds. Successful examples from countries like Mauritius demonstrate that tax reform through a flat tax without exemptions can increase revenue. The document also notes that structural reforms are better than stimulus packages for countries with little fiscal space, and that successful debt resolution addresses both debt and the underlying policy and structural factors contributing to high debt.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

- 15. Concerns • The data is not verified. • We don’t know who it’s coming from. • What if we receive bad information or misinformation? • What if the cost of these systems and personnel don’t provide valuable data?
- 16. The Right Application • Crowdsourcing as… • Focus groups • Polling data • Online surveys • Supporting infrastructure • Speaking to people where they already are
- 18. Take home message Whether for emergency response or civic affairs: crowdsourcing is happening and we have best practices to allow us to do it smarter. Let’s harness crowdsourcing to improve public services and entrepreneurship. What existing services could benefit from a direct connection with the public as information provider? What major challenges in your country could benefit from crowdsourcing applications?

Editor's Notes
- Ushahidi started in Kenya in January 2008, born out of a media blackout as post-election violence erupted into the streets. Ushahidi enabled anyone with a cell phone to submit reports of what they were seeing in the streets.
- The original Ushahidi deployment, showing reports from all over the country.
- Haiti, January 2010
- Taking our experience from Kenya, in the hours after the earthquake, we asked ourselves…
- And the number of Ushahidi deployments keep on growing, now with over 15,000 maps
- The most exciting part of this methodology is the current state of the field, the output of these systems. Not just about big data anymore but actionable, structured data.
- And that leads me to the Libya Crisis. On March 2nd, UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) requested the Stand-By Task Force be activated in Libya. The initial map was password protected to ensure safety of reporters, but later made publicly accessible.

- It’s not a perfect science. Here are the immediate questions where as not to use crowdsourcing. They are all valid.
- Consider the application to use crowdsourcing: perhaps not to replace existing systems or be central, but
- Don’t take it from me. Sly & Robbie – Jamaica has been crowdsourcing for over 30 years with riddim.
