Lebanese NGOs - Online
Challenges Entered:
A three-layer mashup consisting of: A map of LebanonPoints plotted where NGOs are working and what types of projects they’re engaged in (with links to their websites/contact people)Relevant and available social/infrastructure indicators such as literacy and illness rates, electricity outages, and internet access points.
What else have you done in this area of work?
Each of us in our own endeavors is trying to leverage the social/participatory media space for the common good in Lebanon, a concept which only tenuously exists. We have identified NGOs as a particular area of interest because they occupy a social space that crosses confessional and political lines. The next step is to catalog their activity in a way that can:
be useful for our future projects
demonstrate the potential benefits for NGOs working in common areas or on common causes to work together
make it easier for volunteers and donors to get involved
make their services and goods more accessible to those who need them.
