Dear all, I wanted to share with you two initiatives that may be of interest for those of you working on conflict-related issues.
A group of us have been discussing for a while how different technology-enabled interventions can help peacebuilding practitioners do their work. There's an increasing interest in this from practitioners, but still not a huge amount of research on best practices.We are organizing a conference to bring people together around this topic: http://howtobuildpeace.com/ The conference will take place in April and registrations are now open. We very much welcome your thoughts or comments on this initiative. In parallel, my colleague Michaela Ledesma and I have been curating a database of projects that use technology for peacebuilding: http://howtobuildpeace.com/db/ This project is a collaboration of the International Peace Institute, Mercy Corps, the Human Data and Development Initiative and YoLab. Our definitions are not perfect or final and we don't claim to have all the initiatives out there (in fact, we're adding more every day). But it's a good place to start and again we welcome your comments.
