Link sms with database
by Karimi 22 Feb '16

22 Feb '16

Is it possible to link sms to a particular number to database such that say the sms has entries like age, gender, name etc and the same entries are replicated on the database. This way you have people in the field collecting data and updating the database via sms. Sms is preferred since not all field agents have smart phones. So if not sms, is short code an option? Thanks K

Fwd: [kictanet] Peace and Security Fellowship for Women
by Barrack Otieno 22 Feb '16

22 Feb '16

Listers, Might be of interest to some who might not be on KiCTANET. Regards ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ebele Okobi via kictanet <kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke> Date: Fri, 19 Feb 2016 13:51:11 +0000 Subject: [kictanet] Peace and Security Fellowship for Women To: otieno.barrack(a)gmail.com Cc: Ebele Okobi <ebeleokobi(a)fb.com> In case of interest- http://www.kcl.ac.uk/sspp/sga/alc/Fellowships/Non-Degree-Awarding-Fellowshi… Peace and Security Fellowships for African Women The Peace and Security Fellowships for African Women bring together African women at the early stages of their career to undertake a carefully designed training programme in Leadership, Development and Security at the African Leadership Centre (ALC), King’s College London. The Fellowship programme is designed to expose young professional African women to the complexities of conflict, security and development and equip them for careers in this field. The programme is conceived against a number of background factors. First is the comparatively low level of women involved in peace and security issues especially as compared with those involved in human rights and development issues. Second is the need to assist African women to meet the demands of the Beijing process and more recently the UN Security Council Resolution 1325 that calls for the inclusion of women at all decision making levels in “all national regional and international institutions and mechanisms for the prevention, management and resolution of conflicts”. This Fellowship programme is aimed at challenging the existing tendency that seems to reinforce the male dominant discourse on conflict and security related matters. It will also develop a network of African women scholars working in the field whilst linking them with the peace, security and development mechanisms of African regional institutions. They are funded by the Open Society Institute and the African Women’s Development Fund. The Fellowships comprise of two six-month phases. During the first six-month phase at the ALC in Nairobi and King’s College London, the Fellows undertake full-time study of MA-level courses in leadership, security and development that are jointly developed by the ALC and King’s College London. The Fellows also have mentoring sessions on leadership, development and peace and security, delivered by a global network of renowned experts on these issues. They will study and visit various global institutions working in the field of peace and security. This phase will end with a simulation seminar during which a mock conflict management situation will be practiced. The second phase will be an attachment of Fellows to an African regional organisation, research institution or centre of excellence to undertake practical work in the field of leadership, peace and security including peace and conflict management processes. The Peace and Security Fellowship for African Women 2016-2017 is now open. For the full programme announcement including eligibility and the requirements please d<http://www.kcl.ac.uk/sspp/sga/alc/Fellowships/PSD-Fellowship-Announcement-W…>ownload PDF<http://www.kcl.ac.uk/sspp/sga/alc/Fellowships/PSD-Fellowship-Announcement-W…>, and to submit an application.<http://applications.africanleadershipcentre.org/> [Description: Description: Description: cid:image001.png@01C8F888.8FCCE630] Ebele Okobi | Head of Public Policy, Africa m. +44 (0) 771 156 1315 2 Stephen St | London | W1T 1AN ebeleokobi(a)fb.com -- Barrack O.

Results are and will be freely accessible. Thanks!

Re: [Skunkworks] Ug social media off
by Ephraim Percy Kenyanito 18 Feb '16

18 Feb '16

Hey guys, This week I reached out to some of our Ugandan local partners on another mailing list just in case this would happen. The good thing is that there are free tools to circumvent such similar violations on the of freedom of expression. Please feel free to reach out to reach out to Access Now’s Digital Security Helpline <https://www.accessnow.org/digital-security-helpline/>, <https://www.accessnow.org/digital-security-helpline2/> through which activists, independent media, and civil society organizations across the globe can get real-time, direct technical assistance and advice 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Last Friday (12th) our 24 hour Digital Security Helpline <https://www.accessnow.org/digital-security-helpline/> and some of our local partners detected a minor outage that lasted not more than an hour and this made us prepare for any eventuality. This is part of an unfortunate and growing trend. Rather than an exception, internet shutdowns are becoming the norm as more governments order the suspension or throttling of entire networks. Often justified for public safety purposes, shutdowns instead cut off access to vital information and emergency services, plunging whole societies into darkness. This is despite previous research showing that Internet Shutdowns and state violence Go hand <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/06/research-shows-internet-shutdowns-and…> in hand, and this is something Access Now and local partners documented while dealing with Internet Shutdowns in Egypt <https://www.accessnow.org/five-years-later-the-internet-shutdown-that-rocke…>, Sudan <https://www.accessnow.org/mass-internet-shutdown-in-sudan-follows-days-of-p…>, the Central African Republic <https://www.accessnow.org/evidence-international-criminal-court-net-shutdow…>, Niger <https://www.facebook.com/accessnow/posts/10153030213288480>, Democratic Republic of Congo <https://www.accessnow.org/violating-international-law-drc-orders-telcos-vod…>, Congo-Brazzaville <https://www.accessnow.org/government-may-have-ordered-internet-shutdown-in-…>, Burundi <https://www.accessnow.org/access-urges-un-and-african-union-experts-to-take…>, among other places outside the African Union member states. A growing body of jurisprudence declares shutdowns to violate international law. U.N. and regional human rights experts issued an historic statement <https://www.accessnow.org/blog/2015/05/04/internet-kill-switches-are-a-viol…> declaring that internet “kill switches” can never be justified under international human rights law, even in times of conflict. General Comment 34 of the Human Rights Committee, the official interpreter of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, emphasizes that restrictions on speech online must be strictly necessary and proportionate to achieve a legitimate purpose. In times of shutdown, it is incumbent on the entire tech and telecom sector to join together to assert the rights of their users to freedom of expression, access to information, and assembly. Only by presenting a united front, and calling out the disproportionate and harmful impacts of government-ordered shutdowns, will the sector begin to mitigate and eventually prevent this abusive tactic. Please feel free to enlist the help of Access Now’s Digital Security Helpline <https://www.accessnow.org/digital-security-helpline/>, through which activists, independent media, and civil society organizations across the globe can get real-time, direct technical assistance and advice 24 hours a day, seven days a week. These services, include: 1. Rapid response on digital security incidents 2. Personalized recommendations, instruction, and follow-up support on digital security issues 3. Help assessing risks and creating organizational or community security strategies 4. Guidance on security practices and tools for organizations, communities, groups, and individuals 5. Support for securing technical infrastructure, websites, and social media against attacks 6. Referrals, capacity-building, in-person consultations, and training 7.
