From Map Kibera

Following up on the process.

It strikes me that it might be better to find leaders in the community who would like to have such a map and already know how to use it. But that might not be possible or?

If not then we have to meet with those who have participated in these meetings (the lead people) and individually help them to make use of information. I wonder if there is someone with expertise in this who we could partner with? For instance, Oxfam or Amnesty? I think that we have specialized skills, and those do not include helping train in advocacy tec hniques.

Let us think a bit about our role:

• Intermediary: we can link local players to the more powerful organizations.
• Trainer on tools
• What about – we may need an advocate partner to make use of all this. I don’t really think our ultimate role is to assist that way, but it’s missing currently.

I think those we’ve met with in the community are only partly inspired to act on the new tools. They don’t completely understand.

What we’re doing is actually quite unusual. We’re meeting on issue areas, but not in order to support that issue. We have no expertise in education. But we’re tool-providers and supporting general information access. Therefore, it’s a bit more subtle. I think we have to clearly express our role and think about HOW when you provide a tool that wasn’t asked for people are going to make use of it within their current workflow. We can’t ask them to change their workflow too much or it won’t work.

Therefore, maybe finding a few people in the community who actually request for what we offer is key. Then think beforehand with them about how they’ll use the map data and other info.
