Featured Project
Ajedi-Ka
In April 2005, Ajedi-Ka and the Watchlist on Children and Armed Conflict began work on a pilot project using cellular phones and internet technology to facilitate the VCCPs’ reporting of child rights violations.
Through this project, Ajedi-Ka distributed 15 cell phones – one to each VCCPs – and two phones to Ajedi-Ka staff in Uvira. These cellular phones are used to relay information on CAC violations from the VCCPs to Ajedi-Ka staff. Once this information is relayed, it is securely stored, and decisions are quickly made about whether further verification is needed in order to reliably document the case. The cellular technology has allowed the VCCPs to quickly report violations and make decisions about verification while avoiding dangerous and cumbersome bicycle travel.
