Do develop a smartphone application which will be used in online voting or carrying out various surveys for research purposes.The application will be developed in windows and Androids.This application will be of great use in most developing countries and the globe at large.Voting in elections and electionering process is a big huddle. If it can be sorted out with applications which runs in web base then it will be a solution for the world wide web users and the world at large.
Topical focus:
Country:
What locality or neighborhood will your project focus on?
Kisumu City
Describe the specific population with whom you will be working.
My project will be web based hence showing the power and easy of usage in the world wide web.It will be web application based and can make the election be applied to people who are living the diaspora.The application can also be used in mobilizing people for policy implementation and campaigning for well needed policies in the Organisation or the world wide web.Organisations will use online voting for even the members who are roaming globally.
Who else will be on your team to help implement the project?
Charles Oloo
Barrack Otieno
Grace Bomu
What kinds of news, stories and other content will be created?
Cybertech Engineering They have developers and bandwidth which we can use well for this project at
What technologies and digital tools do you plan to use in the trainings?
Describe the connections that you or your organization have already established or plan to establish that will contribute to the success of the project.
Choose the Best Way Forward
With your evaluation complete, you now must choose the best strategic option or strategic options, making sure that you don't choose so many options that you spread your resources too thinly.
Check your ideas for consistency with your organization's Vision, Mission and Values , and update these if necessary. It's easy to forget about these critical elements during strategic planning, so ensure that what you want to “win” is something that contributes towards the organization's overall purpose.
Check your assumptions using the Ladder of Inference . This helps you confirm the soundness of the reasoning process used to develop your strategy.
How many participants do you think will be trained in your project?
Over two hundred people
Describe which technologies, tools, and media you will focus on when training participants.
Road show
County centres
Governors entourage
Describe the facilities where you will hold the workshops.
We will use the ADSL and projecters plus a few laptops smartphone and two desktop for the disable who can be trained with the audio touch toned keyboard and mouse.
What is your current relationship with the community with whom you plan to work? What makes you the most appropriate individual or organization to implement this project?
This are what will deal with first as the project prepares to take off:-
What do we mean by needs and resources?
Why develop a plan for assessing local needs and resources?
Who should be involved in developing a plan for assessing local needs and resources?
When should needs and assets be identified?
How do you develop a plan for assessing local needs and resources?
What specific challenges do you expect to face when planning and implementing your project?
Financial adequancy and enough tools will be the first and formost haddle. The value of thorough testing and training can’t be
overemphasized.
It’s
far
less
expensive
and
time-consuming
to
discover configuration errors, processing design flaws, or system
bottlenecks during testing than after a solution is in place. Even if
it means you will miss your target implementation date by a few
days, take time to test everything thoroughly. You’ll lessen your
project cost by discovering and fixing weaknesses proactively and
your staff will see positive results more quickly.
How will you measure and evaluate the project’s impact, specifically: your primary participants, the wider regional community, or the global digital community?
Using Radio streaming is the best tool to use for reaching the Rural communities with messages of violence within their localities and talk about the effects, impact and the possible solutions. In Rwenzori region, where cybertech is operating, some of families have have shocking stories to tell but they are not covered by media and are not helped to go through a healing processes which has increased violence in terms of revenge. My hamble request is . can we partner to help this voiceless who are subject to silent brutall in their localities. Child marriage is the order of the day can we have advocacy campaign in this area as partner? I will appriciet your positive response.
