Fail Fest

Pour la deuxième fois consécutive, nous avons organisé un Fail Fest pendant le GeOnG. Bien que tous les échecs ne soient pas bons à partager, nous pensons à CartONG que certains devraient être mis en évidence et discutés afin que les acteurs de l'humanitaire et du développement puissent bénéficier de ce retour d'information constructif. La notion d'échec doit être déstigmatisée afin de promouvoir l'échange spontané des leçons tirées au sein du secteur. Cette session était prévue le mardi 3 novembre de 18h00 à 19h15 (CET - heure française). Les 3 présentations ont été préenregistrées et diffusées en direct pendant la session.

Vous trouverez ci-dessous les 3 sujets qui ont été présentés lors du Fail Fest ainsi que 2 enregistrements (le programme est en anglais).

Mindset Over Mandate: Moving beyond the conversation about responsible data at your organization

The key take aways of this fail fest presentation about responsible data will be:

1. Lessons learned developing Responsible Data guidelines in a philanthropic setting; Moving beyond mandate to organizational mindset
2. Reframing data ethics as a human rights issue: an empowerment lens
3. Getting it Right is Getting it Wrong the First Time: The journey and maturity model for integrating data ethics into Humanity United’s work and organization culture

​This Fail Fest was presented by Twisha Mehta from Humanity United

SOLIS: The challenge of onboarding digital technical expertise to your project

Working on digital projects in the humanitarian sector requires the use of relatively technical human resources. Whether they are beginners or experts, internal or outsourced: it is always a challenge, in particular because of the widespread lack of digital maturity and understanding of the sector's needs. Let’s look back on SOLIS’s experience on this key topic.

When a great idea just does not gain traction – Why NOMAD; a service set up to support humanitarians in finding and deploying the right Mobile Data Collection Tool, never took off

The project, which was started in 2009 by iMMAP and was jointly run with CartONG, had seemingly all the right ingredients in place: a big grant and technical partnership to start it off, large organizations being interested to partner and pilot it, a sector wide appetite for Mobile Data Collection processes which were just picking up as well as a series of successful workshops and a follow up grant to support the dissemination of the service. Yet, the service and the tools, designed to help organizations to decide which tool could be the best one in their given setting based on their specific requirements and if of interest to support the organizations with implementing the chosen tool, never took off. This is why and what we can learn from the experience.
