Des cartes technologiques pour la Somalie – Africa Tech

Après avoir piloté des projets de cartographie de crise innovante et interactive au Kenya, en Libye, au Japon, en Syrie… Patrick Meier, le chercheur-activiste et directeur de la branche cartographie de crise de la start-up kényane Ushahidi , met son expertise au service de la crise humanitaire qui sévit en Somalie. Deux projets de cartographie de la crise en cours sont mis en œuvre en partenariat avec l’ONU ou encore avec Al-Jazeera.
I had catalyzed a partnership with Crowdflower during the PakReport deploy-ment last year and wanted to repeat this successful collaboration for Somalia. To my delight, the team at Crowdflower was equally interested in contri-buting to this initiative. So we’ve started to customize a Crowdflower plugin for Somalia. http://irevolution.net/2011/10/26/micro-tasking-somalia/
