Activity 2

Liberia: this was an experiment to see how ushahidi can be set up two years prior to liberia election, in a place with challenges like no maps, low bandwidth etc. A team was in place to work with local organizations to provide training on how to use ushahidi's crowdsourcing software and mobile tools. Ecowas and the west africa network for peacebuilding (wanep) recently also used the ushahidi platform for crisis management and to document governance and human rights.

Activity 3
