[kictanet] Ushahidi in Haiti

[Dorcas Muthoni]

http://haiti.ushahidi.com/

Ushahidi is an organization that created a free and open source mapping and
content management system which can be used by organizations worldwide in
crisis-related situations. The main goal
of the organization is to create a system that facilitates early warning
systems and helps in data visualization for response and recovery. The
Ushahidi platform has been used to monitor elections in
India, Mexico, Lebanon and Afghanistan. It has been deployed in the DR Congo
to track unrest, Zambia to monitor medicine stockouts and the Philippines to
track the mobile phone companies.

It is now being used in the Haiti Earthquake disaster.

NB: Ushahidi has strong Kenyan roots with a bulk of the Ushahidi Platform
developers coming from Kenya and the wider Africa.
