  8. Emergency facilities • After a natural disaster that badly damaged

    infrastructures, access to healthcare and emergency facilities is often problematic • The same is true in areas with limited infrastructure (look at rural Mozambique or rural South Africa) • How can communities plan interventions in these environments? opendata ict4d
  9. Overbureaucratization* • Bureaucracy is often used to make procedures more

    obscure by design and to make it more difficult to get access to services/info • How can we help citizens? • Bonus: sometimes adding a little sum of money helps getting your papers through. How can we address this as well? (* Recrudescenza della burocrazia) featured opendata

    to the most convenient market • An intermediary can help him to reach village markets but may negotiate inconvenient prices • We want a simple solution for the smallholder to a) find markets b) decide prices c) arrange transportation • Hundreds of similar solutions already exist but they are often unsuccessful. How can we be better? ict4d
  11. a place for problems • It has been quite difficult

    to find relevant problems for this hackathon • Problems exist and people out there can propose them to people like you • How do we make this happen? • How can solutions be publicized? • Hint: rhok.org does not work featured
  12. trail sweeper • We all love trekking and roaming in

    our beautiful lands • But sometimes trails are covered in litter and this makes us sad • How can we encourage trekkers to clean up and to monitor/report about what/where they cleaned? opendata
