2016 ICT4D Conference

By now we'll have had some sessions introducing SITE enterprises and the actors involved with their co-creation challenge and we're have got to grips with the context and relevant tactics to tackle the challenge. Now it's the nitty gritty of identifying suitable communication channels and tools which would be appropriate in serving this problem in this context.

Don't be put off if you didn't join us before, we hope the Co-Creation Lab will be like a beehive. You can drop in for a while or stay with us for the day.

To recap: at the Co-Creation Lab within the Accountability, Governance and Human Rights track, we are providing a space to start with a current socio-political challenge. This one is coming from SITE enterprises Kenya who are partnering with Oxfam on an EU urban project where we are exploring how we can use ICT to increase women's participation in governance process in Nairobi, with a focus on the informal settlements. SITE are interested in sharing their work in Garissa and Kisii where they are using radio to share information and build capacity of camel traders. There is scope to extend the applications of ICT which we can work in the co-creation session to establish.

Together with strategy experts, transparency and accountability professionals, as well as toolmakers and storytellers we will craft strategies involving ICT components. Whether you've experienced similar challenge or you're a strategist, toolmaker or digital activist - we need you to join us!
