A conversation between Colin Rule (Director of ODR at eBay/PayPal) and Ken Banks, founder of kiwanja.net and creator of FrontlineSMS can be found here. Ken's FrontlineSMS programme allows for new ways through which sensitive information can be disseminated in a timely manner in support of processes as wide ranging as health pandemics to election monitoring and ceasefire monitoring. This podcast covers the uses that mobile phone equipped only with basic SMS technology can be utilised for and suggests that FrontlineSMS is more sustainable and appropriate than other technologies that seek to empower the grassroots in the Global South. |
