What happens when communities own their data?

The Living Data Hubs project in Kibera, Kenya shows that community governance helps build trust in data and strengthens local capacity. The project provided the community with access, control, and ownership over data about them by building wireless access points, allowing community members to collect their own data using surveys and sensors.

📄 A new paper about this project by @datasew and Gabriella Carolini is now published (link in bio).

This work was made possible by the generous support of @sidaracollaborative and our collaborators, @kounkuey and @tunapanda_org.

Congratulations to the team: @datasew, Gabriella Carolini, Vera Bukachi, Manshur Talib, Regina Opondo, Ibra Maina, Joe Mulligan, Josephine Miliza, @eng.alphonceodhiambo, Prisca Okila, @madebygulaid, Sarah Rege, Innocent Ndubuisi-Obi Jr, @ashsicle, Kwesi Afrifa, Wesley Woo, @spurbhi

The Atlas of Popular Transport has been nominated for the Equitable and Sustainable Media Architecture category at the @mabiennale awards! We are heading to Bangkok to present this fantastic project.

The Atlas was created by the @civicdatadesignlab, with the support of @mit_lcau, and led by @datasew. The project was first exhibited at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia.

The Atlas of Popular Transport tells the story of sixteen cities worldwide that created missing data on their transport systems. By leveraging mobile technology, local actors in each city mapped the routes and stops of their popular transit networks. They shared this data openly by enabling downloads, uploading it to Google Maps, and designing analog maps, making it accessible for anyone to use and build upon. This installation invites audiences to explore the transit data from these cities and, in doing so, highlights how democratizing data can foster empowerment and participation.
Visit our project website at atlasofpopulartransport.mit.edu to learn more about these collective intelligence stories!

Today is World Refugee Day, and to memorialize Vida Migrante a new interactive experience has been released by MIT’s Civic Data Design Lab (CDDL) and the World Food Programme, Ecuador’s country office allows users to experience the difficult choices migrants make to sustain life and shows that providing the transformative impact basic assistance, such as employment accreditation, can have on their lives.

Please explore the tool : https://vidamigrante.migration.mit.edu/

This is part of a broader research project done in collaboration of the MIT Civic Data Design Lab (CDDL) and the World Food Programme country office in Ecuador, a report is also being released to the public.
