ushahidi

Ushahidi is an open source software application, and a non-profit technology company with staff in nine countries whose mission is to help marginalized people raise their voice and those who serve them to listen and respond better. It has been instrumental in creating the Kenyan tech ecosystem, known as the Silicon Savannah, and its employees have gone on to found iHub, Akirachix, and BRCK.The organisation uses the concept of crowdsourcing for social activism and public accountability, serving as an initial model for what has been coined as "activist mapping"—the combination of social activism, citizen journalism and geospatial information. Ushahidi offers products that enable local observers to submit reports using their mobile phones or the internet, while simultaneously creating a temporal and geospatial archive of events. The Ushahidi platform is often used for crisis response, human rights reporting, and election monitoring. Ushahidi (Swahili for "testimony", closely related to shahidi which means "witness") created a website in the aftermath of Kenya's disputed 2007 presidential election that collected eyewitness reports of violence reported by email and text message and placed them on a Google Maps map.The Ushahidi platform has been used by the United Nations Department of Field Services and Peacekeeping, in response to the Haiti Earthquake in 2010, to monitor the Nigerian elections in 2011, by the Obama Campaign for America 2012, by the Nepalese army to respond to the earthquake of 2015, in and by local activists groups such as Humanitarian Tracker to monitor violence in the Syrian civil war and HarassMap to help women report on sexual harassment.Successful deployment of crisis mapping applications like Ushahidi benefits from careful attention to how the technology fits into the relevant cultural settings, and focusing on realistic goals.

    Ofisi ya Waendesha Mashtaka kugeuka kuwa ofisi ya wafuta mashtaka kunatia doa mfumo wa haki nchini

    Ofisi ya DPP imegeuka kuwa ofisi ya wafuta mashtaka badala ya ofisi ya waendesha mashtaka. Haya madaraka mapya yakufuta mashtaka wameyatoa wapi? Kwanini imeacha jukumu la Msingi la kuanzishwa kwake? Kama wamebaini walikosea, hao waliokosea kifungua mashtaka wanasubiri nini kushtakiwa?

    Wanasheria wa CHADEMA ratibu ukusanyaji ushahidi dhidi ya Sabaya maana ukatili mwingi walifanyiwa wanachama wa CHADEMA

    Hii ina mantiki kubwa. Ukatili ulio mwingi walifanyiwa wafuasi wa Chadema, ni vema CHADEMA ikaratibu ukusanyaji wa ushahidi dhidi ya Sabaya ili haki itendeke. Waandae waathirika waweze kutoa ushahidi wa kweli na si vinginevyo. Walindwe dhidi ya vitisho vya Sabaya na genge lake etc........
