The Mobile Advocacy Toolkit

From MobileActive Wiki

The mobile advocacy toolkit aims to provide solutions and guide advocates and NGOs in using mobiles to:

• Provide access to information such as recorded voice or audio and news updates
• Increase participatory processes and facilitation through polling, voting, surveying and incident reporting
• Enable citizen journalism and remote publishing by using mobiles to blog or create podcasts and to upload photographs
• Conduct awareness raising and outreach through demographically targeted or time based messaging, alerts, ringtones and games or small scale applications
• Coordinate and organise through organising meetings, flash mobilisation and calls to action
• Provide services and coordinate by providing alert/SOS for migrant workers and other communities, early warning systems and emergency response.

The toolkit will contain a range of case studies, interviews with practitioners and practical how-to guides to the tools that are out there for mobile phone advocacy.
