New Resource: Teaching on WhatsApp-Leadership and Storytelling for Grassroots Community Organizers

June 9, 2021

This guide provides instructions on how to design and deliver an interactive training course through an app-based messaging platform. Drawing from Grassroots’ pilot teaching leadership and storytelling through WhatsApp, we share tips on pedagogy, participant engagement, and the technical aspects of launching a distance-learning course.

Part I of the guide describes the pilot course and Part II delves into the details of teaching on WhatsApp. Along with MIT GOV/LAB, our collaborative research partner, we also include lessons on evaluation and learning.

The Digital Safety Net: Citizens and Technology in the Age of Covid-19

June 9, 2020

 

Chair

Jonathan Tanner @Tannerjc – Research Associate, Digital Societies, ODI

Speakers

Oscar Tapp Scotting @DCMS – Deputy Director, Security & Online Harms, UK Government Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport

Maureen Stickel – Associate Director and Head of Zambia, IDinsight

Calvin Chong – Director of International Affairs, Ministry of Communications and Information of the Republic of Singapore, @SingaporeMCI

Description

The urgency of the Covid-19 threat is increasing the demand for governments to use existing technologies in new ways and to use untested new technologies on urgent problems. The use of these technologies are part of a rapidly deployed ‘digital safety net’ aimed at saving lives and protecting citizens. Without the usual time available to test new ideas it is more important than ever that best practice is identified and shared.

This event contributes to further thinking about the role of digital technology in providing a safety net in times of crisis, the essential components of the safety net and newly designed technology being used to respond to the Covid-19 crisis.

We explore perspectives from different geographies and address critical lessons covering three aspects of the crisis response: tackling the virus, social protection and public information.

ODI: Lessons learned? Responding to Ebola in the DRC

June 2, 2020

Chair

Wendy Fenton @WendyFenton1 – Coordinator of the Humanitarian Practice Network, ODI

Speakers

Linda Mobula @LindaMobula – Assistant Professor of Medicine, Johns Hopkins and Research Associate, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health

Theresa Jones @Theresa_E_Jones – Clinical Psychologist and Senior Research Associate, Anthrologicacov

Bernard Balibuna – Country Representative, CAFOD, DRC

Natalie Roberts @docnat – Director of Studies, MSF-CRASH (Médecins Sans Frontières, Centre de réflexion sur l’action et les savoirs humanitaires)

Description

The world’s second largest outbreak of Ebola was declared on 1 August 2018 in the Democratic Republic of Congo. More than 2,200 people have died and over 3,300 have been infected. The response to Ebola has been complicated by conflict between central government, local political actors and armed groups in the affected areas. Rumours about the virus and the response have also been spread and shaped by that conflict.

Attempts have been made to apply key lessons from the 2014-15 Ebola outbreak in West Africa, such as the need for strong surveillance and outbreak control strategies and the importance of understanding the behaviours, practices and perceptions of communities and of engaging them actively in the response. The identification and trial use of effective vaccines during the outbreak has been an important and promising development. Yet, despite these efforts, cases of Ebola continue to be reported.

Drawing on articles from the Humanitarian Exchange, this webinar will discuss to what degree the lessons learned from the West Africa Ebola outbreak have been taken into account in the DRC response and how barriers to containment of the disease could be better addressed.
