📢 Exploring Digital Communities' Impact on Nepal's Humanitarian Response 🆘
...
Following the 2015 earthquake in Nepal and, more recently, during the COVID-19 pandemic, digital communities have played a crucial role in reshaping disaster relief efforts. As part of our Civic Action Team's work, the earthquake saw the emergence of "digital volunteers" who used tools like crowdsourcing, crisis mapping, and infographics to interpret the scale of the crisis and how to navigate it for citizens.

Nimesh Dhungana, an interdisciplinary development and disaster researcher, looks at how digital communities powered by ICTs are transforming humanitarian action.

The winning teams from HackCorruption Malaysia have been chosen after a competitive pitching ...process in Kuala Lumpur! Teams presented prototypes ranging from reforming procurement processes to helping citizens monitor climate finance.

The winners include OpenBO, Voices4Budget, Carbonitor, Integrity Eyes, and Land Looters. OpenBO is an online directory to find companies or contractors with criminal verdicts against their name in terms of corruption, bribery, fraud, and environmental issues, while Carbonitor prevents corruption in carbon offset projects through a sophisticated citizen monitoring system. Integrity Eyes, meanwhile, aims to combat corruption in the construction and infrastructure sectors by addressing fund leakages, cost overruns, and cartel influences through comprehensive procurement and project management reforms. Rounding up the list of winners, Land Looters uses interactive 'land grabbing' case studies and comprehensive resources in Indonesia and Thailand to illustrate prevalence. You can learn more about the solutions pitched here: https://bit.ly/3wVfPB9

We're grateful to be working with a committed group of partners on HackCorruption, including the USAID Countering Transnational Corruption Grand Challenge for Development, the U.S. Department of State: Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement, Development Gateway: An IREX Venture, and the Center for International Private Enterprise.

Co-CEO of Accountability Lab and Co-Chair of the Open Government Partnership, Blair Glencorse, sent... a message of support - and advice - to the closing session of the fourth Summit for Democracy in Seoul, in the Republic of Korea, today.

He shared how civil society organizations being involved in the creation and monitoring of S4D commitments ensures that outcomes are stronger. Glencorse encouraged stakeholders to apply the lessons learned from previous summits, such as the need to scale the model of partnership, as demonstrated by the Democracy Cohorts. He also said commitments needed to be embedded into other multilateral global processes so that reforms are openly created with civil society. Watch the full address below.
