Editor's Notes
- QCRI and UNDP will co-host a workshop at the Reach out to Asia Empower 2016. Our goal is to highlight how the youth (ages 17 - 30) can use the power of their digital skills to create social innovation and social interventions to support efforts for the Sustainable Development Goals. About the event: https://www.reachouttoasia.org/event-details/empower-2016 About the SDGs: www.globalgoals.org
- The 17 global goals are big mandates in each of the areas. Around the world, organizations and individuals are aligning and planning implementation to meet these goals by 2030. Each of these will take all the brightest minds, especially you.
- The new agenda builds on the MDGs; however it is much broader and more ambitious. Universal – means that rich countries will be compared with developing countries on a broad set of issues such as gender equality, responsive institutions, climate change and others. The first 6 SDGs build on the MDGs, bringing them further, to a higher level of ambition – for example, while the MDGs talked about halving poverty, the SDGs talk about eradicating poverty. Address all the three spheres of sustainable development: the social, the economic and the environmental. They focus on climate change, oceans and seas, ecosystems and land degradation; they also cover the economic sphere, addressing issues of infrastructure and structural transformation, sustainable production and consumption, equality. They also address issues of peace and responsive institutions, and the means for implementing the agenda. Global Level: Indicators have been drafted by the UN Statistical Commission’s Inter-Agency and Expert Group on SDGs (IAEG-SDGs)* for adoption by the GA in September 2016. The IAEG-SDGs was created in March 2015 by the UN Statistical Commission to identify the SDG indicators, and is composed of statistical officials from 28 UN Member States.
- Liu Bolin’s Global Goals Flags. The 17 UN goals were agreed by 193 countries on 25 September 2015, including Qatar. www.globalgoals.org.
- Humanitarian Response and Digital Response for global developments can include social media, images, communication coordination, satellite phones. We think that Communication is Aid. All photos were taken at the Qatar Red Crescent Disaster Management Camp, April 2015 by Heather Leson CCBY
- The Social and Data source ecosystem is expanding. QCRI aims to be able to share insights across the various social media tools. Imagery, sensor and open data like OpenStreetMap provide the ability to see the data ecosystem to make decisions. These types of data can provide you with insights into life and potential action to affect change. Infographic Created with Infogr.am.
- At QCRI we create tools to combine human and machine computing to solve big data problems. MicroMappers combines uses human computing to make quick decisions about the content. All the decisions are vetted by at least 3 people. Then, the data is aggregated into information insights. We think these tools can be used to help people make a difference in the world for social change meeting the World Humanitarian and sustainable development goals.
- For the Nepal Earthquake response, there was over 2800 contributors from around the world. We are very thankful for their participation. And, we aim to inspire more digital humanitarian literacy and ownership in areas around the world. How can we apply these activities to the SDGs?
- How can you learn digital skills for social good and humanitarian response? This skill-based workshop bridges three themes: social communications, crowdsourcing and social entrepreneurship. Participants will be given resources to keep on learning after the workshop.

- Health is a big priority in Qatar and the world. The Qatar National Strategy aims to tackle these hard issues. What can the youth of ROTA do to create social entrepreneurship programmes aimed at making a difference?
- Sometimes you need to collect your own data with trusted partners. QCRI worked with health professionals and two schools to get data insights into health monitoring. The proposed intervention targets Qatari nationals who are overweight or obese. It involves three phases (1) weight loss camps, (2) after-school clubs as supplement, and (3) maintenance through web and social/family support. Data could provide basis for efforts to stem the rise of obesity in Qatar through lifestyle changes. Things we’d like to infer from these images: - what kids *don’t* eat (e.g. leaving vegetables) and if this is personal (= different preferences) - how they eat (e.g. many kids leave the cutlery clean and unused, others make a huge mess) - track their calorie intake Using Crowdflower to label the images, Instagram, mobile data collection Partners: Qatar University, Imperial College and Leeds
- This is a global goal that the government and citizens of Qatar are tackling.
- What can we do in Qatar and around the world to make a difference with social entrepreneurship and innovation. Source about energy use: http://dohanews.co/qatar-doubles-fines-for-water-wastage-utility-prices-quietly-go-up/ Tarsheed is an example of government interventions already in progress. What can we do in Qatar and around the world to make a difference with social entrepreneurship and innovation.
- With Climate change how will Doha survive floods. Mapbox provided a demo of this in our November 2015 workshop.
