Internally, the event was planned and executed jointly by Water and Sanitation Program, Water Anchor and ICT Unit of The World Bank. The global partners included Gates Foundation, Random Hacks Of Kindness, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!, NASA, HP, Eirene, UNICEF. Many other partners at local sites, such as Google Developers, IBM, Infosys, Microsoft, Nokia, Sprint, Globe Labs & Globe Telecommunications, Smart Communications, Maynilad water utility, Idea Space, Blogwatch and Unilever contributed towards successful organization of the event. The report was compiled by Water and Sanitation Program with inputs from partners. Executive summary The increasing availability of open data sets, the spread of mobile phones and the availability of high-fidelity, low-cost mapping tools has created new opportunities for solutions to seemingly-intractable water and sanitation challenges. Accordingly, in order to attract new ideas for addressing these challenges, the World Bank reached out to the global software community by hosting the Sanitation Hackathon. A hackathon event is an intensive marathon of brainstorming and programming, where software developers and designers compete to create new tools for solving a given problem. The first step in organizing a hackathon was, therefore, to identify the pressing problems in the water and sanitation sector as defined by Bank specialist and end users of water and sanitation services. These problems fed into the Sanitation Hackathon events which took place in 2012 simultaneously in multiple global locations, including in Dhaka, Nairobi, Cairo, Pune, London, Kampala, Tel Aviv, and Washington DC. The Sanitation Hackathon achieved the following:  1,223 hackers participated across 16 sites with 23% female participants on an average  132 Sanitation related problems were recorded online in categories of handwashing, latrines, open defecation, waste water, governance, urban and rural.  125 of these problems were hacked, resulting in 188 projects/prototypes  The sanitationhackacthon.org website received more than 15,000 unique visitors from 183 countries  More than 10 million impressions (number of times a tweet was delivered to a person’s twitter feed) of tweets using the #sanhack or #toilethacker hash tag Introduction: The need for innovative solutions to the chronic lack of sanitation worldwide is immense. Of those people who lack access to improved sanitation, 1.1 billion have no facilities at all and defecate in the open. These sanitation shortages account for thousands of deaths daily, especially among children. Additionally, poor sanitation costs billions of dollars in economic losses annually, as high as 7 percent of GDP in some countries. "That's billions of dollars that could educate poor children or help build infrastructure - like schools and roads," said World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim. Conversely, more than 6 billion people worldwide have access to a mobile phone, including in rural and urban areas in developing countries. The surge in mobile phones in Africa - some 94 percent of urban Africans, for example, are near a GSM signal - is transforming the way people complete daily tasks, from knowing when to sell farm commodities, to finding easier ways to pay bills or send money to family and friends. With ever increasing mobile penetration and falling prices of smart phones, mobile applications provide a platform to address myriad critical issues and an opportunity to solve problems in the developing world. A hackathon event is an intensive brainstorming and programming marathon, drawing together the talent and initiative of software developers. These events are typically between several days and a week in length and some are commercially oriented. The barrier to entry in the creation of mobile and web applications is very low, enabling a process of ideation and innovation as well as the creation of prototype software solutions under the time constrains of a hackathon. Recognizing the potential for co-creation of knowledge, an increasing number of hackathon events aim to pair technology expertise with real world development problems. Random Hacks of Kindness (RHoK) is an example of this new phenomenon. The 2011 Water Hackathon was a first-of-its-kind gathering of software developers with the aim of increasing awareness of water sector challenges facing developing countries amongst technical communities in-country and globally. Led by the Water and Sanitation Program, Water Anchor and ICT Unit the World Bank the Water Hackathon took place in October of 2011 in more than 10 countries. New ideas and solutions were developed by people not normally exposed to the water, sanitation and hygiene sector. At the water hackathon out of the 113 problems that were defined, 50 solutions were created and more than 60% of the solutions created are in various stages of deployment in projects. Sanitation Hackathon In November 2012, the two-day Sanitation Hackathon was organized simultaneously in more than 16 locations including, Manila, Jakarta, Dhaka, Lahore, Pune, London, Helsinki, Cape Town, Dakar, Lima, Dar-es-Salaam, Kampala, Hartford, New York, Washington DC and Chicago. Another 28 satellite cities contributed through RHOK, the global and regional partners of which included Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!, NASA, HP, and the World Bank. In all, 1,223 hackers participated, nearly one fourth being female participants. About 125 sanitation problems were hacked resulting in 188 prototypes. The Sanitation Hackathon was organized by the World Bank Group in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Random Hacks of Kindness (RHOK), Eirene, UNICEF, and many other partners at local sites, such as Google Developers, IBM, Infosys, Microsoft, Nokia, Sprint, and Unilever. Often neglected, the world’s sanitation crisis needs urgent attention across multiple sectors to meet the basic needs of the 2.5 billion people without access. One billion people have no facilities at all and forced to defecate in the open. Lack of access to clean water and sanitation kills more than 4,000 children a day worldwide and a lack of sanitation results in billions of dollars in economic losses to developing countries. Challenges facing the sanitation sector are diverse and widespread, affecting youth development, community behavior, global health, and more. At the current rate, the world will not meet its Millennium Development Goal target by 2015. With the global revolution in low-cost information and communication technologies, there is a huge opportunity to address information flow problems across the sector, helping to make improved sanitation services more accessible and sustainable for the world’s people. The Sanitation Hackathon leveraged the existing partnerships and momentum of the Water hackathon community, including the lessons learned and expert problem statements, and to apply a specific focus on sanitation clients and sector needs. The development objective of sanitation hackathon to create a network of atypical partners engaged in finding solutions to sanitation-related challenges and to raise awareness of sanitation sector challenges in developing countries to software professionals. The Sanitation Hackathon had the following phases to achieve the intended results: Component 1 – Problem Statements (August – October 2012): Define country specific sanitation challenges for which ICT could provide solutions developed through clinics with sanitation sector professionals and software experts Component 2 – Technical Community Engagement (August – October 2012): Creation of a network of partners engaged in finding solutions to sanitation-related challenges. Component 3 – Access to Appropriate Prototypes –Hackathon event (December 2012 – March 2013): Simultaneous events across the globe to develop new applications and codes to address sanitation challenges and continuing the challenge with a hack at home contest to continue to refine their prototypes after the event held in December The event was characterized by more outreach to software developers’ and greater ownership of challenges. More than a thousand computer programmers and other information technology specialists in 16 cities around the world developed 181 new application software, or apps from Dec 1-2 to help improve access to safe sanitation for the 2.5 billion poor people who lack it. The "hackers" competed for 48 hours in the first ever global Sanitation Hackathon. In a video welcome message, Dr. Jim Kim, President, World Bank told the hackers their expertise could impact the lives of the world's poorest people. "With your help, we want to tackle this massive challenge. The availability of mobile phones is a game changer because of mobile technology, which has created enormous opportunities. We believe there are technological solutions that can help us provide sanitation for more poor people and can save more children from preventable diseases. You could be the very people who create the tools for a solution that helps families, villages and maybe whole countries to tackle the sanitation challenge at a large scale." The spirit behind the Sanitation Hackathon as articulated best by anthropologist Margaret Mead, that one should “never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” While all sites targeted bringing about new technological innovations in the sanitation sector, the event emerged very differently at the different locations. Snapshots from across the globe Manila and 5 cities in Philippines Context: Potential megacommunities exist in many areas like health, transport, etc. where leaders raise questions like “what problems are we dealing with?” “why can’t we solve them within our walls,” and “what other organizations are affected by the same issues?” Organizations and people then deliberately come together as megacommunities around a compelling issue of mutual importance, following a set of practices and principles to make it easier for them to achieve results. Using this principle, the Phillipines team approached the Google Developer Group and Google Business Groups to come on board as partners to promote the cause of “social good.” Pre-Hackathon: Prior to the hackathon, government representatives and civil society members were asked to identify sanitation problems during consultations. While the agendas were both specific in content and relatively unstructured in scope, there was plenty of informal moments during which people could speak openly. Meetings were not conducted with the standard “packed-in” conference format of presentations and panel discussions, because the primary purpose was to build relationships and help participants develop the ability to work together. The problem statements were distributed to the different communities during the Hackathon. Local government representatives acted as mentors and resource persons. The WSP team was able to develop partnerships with six Google Developer's communities around the country in Baguio City, Bacolod, Cebu City, Davao City, Makati City and Zamboanga City. The hackathon could be simultaneously hosted in the three major land groups in the Philippines – Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Several key players included telecommunications companies like Globe Labs & Globe Telecommunications and Smart Communications; water utilities like Maynilad; tech incubators like Idea Space and online organizations like Blogwatch. Hackathon Event: It was interesting that each city produced different applications in tune with local sanitation challenges and problems. More than thirty full applications were developed at the end of the Hackathon. “Local” communities were not constrained nor by the age-old boundaries of geography and demography. Social media like Facebook (via the Facebook page and announcements), g talk, google hangout, google hangout on air and YouTube kept the momentum alive across cities and competitive fervor high. Courtesy Google, the event was covered by national television, radio, newspaper, blogs, Facebook, twitter and Instagram, and google plus. Because it was simultaneously done in six cities, the Internet connection was very critical. This proved tricky all the sites did not enjoy good Internet connection. However, the organizers bridged such boundaries by making team presentations on YouTube and communicating via cellphones. Through sponsors and partners, the team leveraged as much for $24,000.00 across six cities to cover venue, food, Internet, and event management. An additional $20,000 was also obtained for prizes and awards. Outcome: Awarding activities are ongoing and have already been carried out in different cities. Dialogues have been initiated between winners with the purpose of collaborating further with the developers. Idea Space has given a grant to the winner. A megacommunity is a living entity and is continually challenged to absorb new players. Google Developers Group Chapters and their community managers will be instrumental in the next phase to further communication via email, google talk and google hangout. Three to four entries from the cities of Bacolod and Baguio have already been made for hack@home challenge.

The organisers struggled with how to introduce hackers to the existing sanitation situation and encourage embracing, influencing and planning for the future. Two field trips to rural Rufiji Delta and urban Tandale were organized a week prior to the Hackathon, which hosted members of the IT and media communities. Technologists were able to witness and internalize the challenges facing the sanitation sector. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwCcKbAx_VA) 156 people registered, 68 participated, 6 teams were formed, and 7 problem statements were tackled by 8 prototype applications Pre- Hackathon: In order to further facilitate innovative solution development, the team invited a number of sanitation stakeholders for a brainstorming session where they presented their problem statements. The goal of sessions, camps, meet-ups was to detect more problems at the point of origin. This is the first point of engagement in defining the problem statements. The emphasis was to find and exploit a broad range of strategic viewpoints: • Top-down: viewpoints emanating from subject matter experts at top positions within the government, multilateral and bilateral aid agencies • Bottom-up: viewpoints emanating from field level sanitation specialists and service providers • Outside-in, viewpoints emanating from everyone, including customers, vendors, competitors, and the world at large, and • Peer-to-peer viewpoints emanating from different site leads. In order to ensure that the Tanzania hackathon is demand-driven, the team organized the first brainstorming session for sector stakeholders in September. That gave them the platform to express the pressing problems in sanitation which could be solved using ICT tools. The initially indicated problem statements were then followed up with their owners on individual basis through specifically-designed Crisis, Need and Impact Statements template. Together they identifed eight critical issues, ranging from segmentation of the behavioral messages by key population to strengthening supply chain, with the priority being the sanitation performance reporting, monitoring and aggregation. The authors of the problem statements came from the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MOHSW), UNICEF, NIMR, TaWaSaNet, Development Partners Group (DPG), Care International, WaterAid, UKaid, JICA and WSP. An innovation hub KINU that was launched less than a year ago was the lead partner. The pre-events and the Hackathon itself were located in KINU (private) and TANZICT/COSTECH (public) boasting secured highest speed Internet connection. Existing creative open spaces attracted expertise and maintained the spirit of energy and openness. , snacks, comfortable chairs, powerstrips and creativity were in ample supply at the site. Other Sanitation Hackathon in Tanzania partners from private sector included EXP, Coca Cola and Skyprint. Hackathon Event: The Tanzania event saw the participation of Senior Tanzania government official, Director of Preventive Services in the Ministry of Health, Mr. Elias Chinamo, who in his keynote address spoke of bringing in “new partner from the ICT community” to find cost-effective solutions to “address the data collection systems, health management information system and periodic surveys”. He informed the participants of the sanitation context in Tanzania, i.e. the implementation of the National Sanitation Campaign. Philippe Dongier, the World Bank Country Director for Tanzania, Uganda, and Burundi, shared with the participants his experience as Manager of ICT programs at the World Bank and motivated them to be the “real factor of change”. The BongoSafi uStream channel live streamed the inaugural ceremony and other key moments of the Tanzania site event. Hackers were particularly motivated as they got an opportunity to “pitch” proposals to Gary Gale, Director, Web & Community, NOKIA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w4PNFU0NsA) who was one of the judges at the Hackathon encouraged the participants. During the Hack, the organizers identified some challenges. One of them (lack of familiarity with open source code repositories) was addressed directly after the event during a short workshop at KINU. The social media as well as the branding was designed on the ‘Bongo Safi’ theme that translates as ‘Clean Tanzania’ or ‘Cool Tanzania’. Facebook was the main community- outreach channel, where the information about the pre-events and upcoming hackathon was regularly posted. Between December 1-7, a total of 1,640 people were reached via ‘Sanitation Hackathon in Tanzania’ Facebook site. To enable registration, inform about the event, as well as share photos and videos, the Tanzania site also used Twitter (adding local #bongosafi hashtag), Youtube, Flickr, Blogspot, Eventbrite and Lanyrd. Post- Hackathon: Popular among winning hacks were some variation on behavioral messaging (http://www.slideshare.net/Tumainigroup ) and mobile reporting systems. Overall, 6 tools were developed, with some of them including responses to a few problems, e.g. ODF and sanitation monitoring app. For example, some tools designed to map data relied on crowdsourcing to obtain the data in question (e.g Intervention and Approach Map (http://www.slideshare.net/reg_8/sanitationhackathon-presentation- 15449428) ), Strenghtening Supply Chain in Toilets Sanitation (http://www.slideshare.net/big_com/dream-team-15449297 )). The same was true for some of the tools aimed at building a database of information. Follow up events include events arranged within the pre-incubation such as meeting with the stakeholders, final presentation of the working demos, and feedback session with WSP (e.g. December 14) etc. Outcome: Each of the three winning teams were offered pre-incubation at the tech sponsors TANZICT/DTBI hub, while GWOB offered the first prize winners, the Dream Team (Strenghtening Supply Chain in Toilets Sanitation) additional mentoring and support for solutions. The incubation possibilities included access to networked and well- equipped facilities/labs as well as access to mentors who could provide guidance on product development and marketing. By the end of the three month incubation the teams committed to develop working technical prototypes. Two of the winner teams have presented their road maps for this process to the Hackathon team. The updates have been provided on Facebook, which was the most visited community outreach channel. From Dar es Salaam, there are 25 registrants in the hack@home challenge and three ideas have been submitted.

To endorse intensive engagement and co-production of applications across multiple locations was centric to Lima’s event design. The Sanitation Hackathon in Lima became a regional event as the design included both onsite and remote locations for hosting the event to reach more people with the given resources. Pre-Hackathon: Since a convergent specialist approach was required, a firm was recruited to launch and execute the event. Their expertise to enroll strategic partners including government institutions, universities and technology partners to participate and help in the dissemination of the event led to high outreach. Partners and strategic allies were invited to join this initiative through direct invitations and one on one meet-ups. They participated as consumers of prototypes developed (for example the Information System on Water and Sanitation of the Governments of Panama, Honduras and Nicaragua – SIASAR would benefit with the development of one of the proposed apps) or as part of the jury (Ministry of the Presidency of Peru through a representative of the Science and Technology Office of Peru). Before the event, video conferencing with sanitation specialists using Adobe Connect were organised for interested technologists living abroad (including those from Peru, other parts of Lima and other countries). Two preparatory meetings were held in the World Bank Lima office because it was very accessible for hackers and sanitation specialists and it offered the best technical facilities to connect virtually with participants from the region. The participants were advised and monitored during their inscription process and while modeling their applications. Sanitation facts and general information was disseminated through short videos and interviews in the social media channels. Other innovation experiences from previous hackathons were shared. Since the event was to be hosted from remote sites, the WSP provided detailed information regarding:  Feasibility of developing a remote event only if adequate promotion and interaction with participants is guaranteed  Possibility to launch a remote event in parallel with the local event.  Improved communication and feedback between stakeholders, participants and members of the jury.  Planning the Hackathon dates keeping in mind the timetables of all participant countries. This proved difficult since the dates chosen clashed with another regional hackathon happening the same day and other institutions committed efforts for their own hackathons happening in the same month.  Initiating coordination with potential partners and allies with several months of anticipation.  Engagement with government institutions to access their data.  Rescue the proposals that weren’t chosen as finalist for potential development with local partners and provide feedback for possible incubation.  Promoting the application of business modeling, mentoring and incubation. Random Hacks of Kindness is promoting this model in partnership with Geeks without Bounds (http://gwob.org) and Social Coding for Good (http://www.benetech.org/) http://www.rhok.org/blog/sustainability-partnerships-how-apply-and-what-you-get The six “sanitation challenges” identified from the sessions were: Challenge 1: How can we collect data on sanitation in areas without connectivity? Challenge 2: How can we promote hygiene to prevent infant mortality? Challenge 3: How to get bathrooms/toilets at lower prices? Challenge 4: How governments should prioritize investments in sanitation in certain areas? Challenge 5: How water and sanitation utilities can provide better service to users? Challenge 6: How to solve other problems of sanitation? (open category) Hackathon Event: The Hackathon was launched at WSP LAC’s Regional Office in Lima to ensure easy connectivity with participants from across Latin America. However, the atmosphere in the virtual communities was a bit like a flea market – vibrant, noisy, unpredictable and never dull. The strategy focused on internet based operations: website, blog, social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc.), e-mails and web conferences.  The website provided information regarding goals of the hackathon and logistics of the event  Social networks accounts went viral with constant updates of activities on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter accounts. As part of the Jury members, we had a representative from the Health sector (Pan American Health Organization) as well a representative of the Presidency Ministry, through the Science and Technology Program Unit (FINCyT). Post-Hackathon: Each one of the three winners received personalized advisory and also US$ 1,000 (one thousand dollars) to improve their hacks. Outcome: The three winning teams are in the process of improvising their apps to showcase them before sanitation specialists and decision makers in the Latin American Conference on Sanitation to be held in Panama in May, 2013. In parallel there will be a BBL to show the community the results obtained. Total of registered teams: 35; Total of registered participants: 80; Total of male participants: 64; Total of female participants: 16 and total of proposals in competition: 8 Links of videos to You Tube sites and photos from the event www.facebook.com/HackatonSaneamiento www.youtube.com/hackatonsaneamiento Cape Town in South Africa Context: From Main Street to Wall Street, leaders are beginning to see the value of connection and community. Finding it difficult for the project to take off from the ground and to create greater impact, the WSP team in Cape Town joined hands with Random Hacks of Kindness (RHOK) that was organising a hackathon to address real world social development and humanitarian challenges on the same weekend. Pre-Hackathon: Random Hacks of Kindness encouraged partners to become involved and bring their own strengths and resources to bear in support of the Sanitation Hackathon. SeeSaw, a social enterprise that customises ICT to support sanitation and water providers, was a strategic partner in articulating problem statements as well as facilitating the event given its past record of organizing Hackathons. Different partners i.e. Silicon Cape Initiative, Random Hacks of Kindness, Community Water and Sanitation Working Groups made presentations in different communities and profiled the event online. Hackathon Event: The event was pitched at three separate sanitation events and three tech events in the run up to the weekend and ideas sought. The FSM conference in Durban that boasted more than 200 participants in early November was one of the platforms to announce the hackathon. The challenges were posted both on the official website, blog and video clips available on Youtube and Facebook. There was continuous engagement with registrants through emails providing more detailed information prior to the event. Press releases and posters increased visibility and the event was covered in both electronic and print media. There was hardly any participation from the Government given the event was taking place on the weekend. However, NGOs were more inclined to participate to co-create technological solutions for social causes. Challenges:  No ‘pre-event’ took place given the risk of low turnout and raising logistical and financial cost. While coders and sanitation experts were highly motivated to work together during the hackathon, there was hardly any dialogue between different groups prior to the event.  Uncertainty regarding contracting processes slowed event planning. Post Hackathon: The Facebook page of the event and blogs continue to be updated. Participants were invited to submit ideas to the Hack-at-Home contest. At least two entries have been posted on hack@home. Outcome: The WSP is facilitating the dialogue between the winning two teams with the relevant stakeholders for mentoring to take their ideas and prototypes forward. Silicon Cape and RHOK have their own outreach channels – and there is a monthly ICT4D social event at which updates are being shared.

Already, technology resolves issues like payment of water bills using a mobile phone, charging money to a mobile money account, checking crop prices on your mobile and accessing information about child vaccination. Pre-Hackathon: Given this context of high number of technologists already working in the development sector, Dhaka attracted the maximum number of participants to show up on any site across the globe as 310 hackers assembled to join the competition on November 30th. The hackathon organizing team held a pre-hackathon Innovation Expo. Bringing students, companies, local government leaders to the same arena, the Expo functioned as an innovation hotspot. The most promising small- and medium-sized IT firms were invited. These companies included, Bkash, which offers financial services via mobile phone; Kothay, which develops maps offering different types of location data; AjkerDeal, which helps in finding the best deal for your favorite product; and BizCube, an incubation lab. The companies collected suggestions from students and local governments for developing their services further to tackle the problem statements. The government leaders came from 12 different districts across Bangladesh to present their problem statements to the IT students. The expo led to many interesting conversations between IT firms, the chairmen and the students, about developing new innovations for tackling the problems discussed. Hackathon Event: The Hackathon partnered with more than 20 IT related companies that not only engaged in problem identification and promised support in deployment of applications. For the first time in history, 20 local governments and 1500 students came together on one platform with sanitation centre stage. However, it was not by chance that people showed up. The hackathon was a cleverly designed event keeping in mind two factors: a) the event be seen as a continuous process, not as a one-stop event b) long-lasting relations with the ICT sector in developing apps to tackle poverty. The expo, which attracted some 1,500 students, was the starting point for the registration for Sanitation Hackathon. Word of mouth ensured that hackers flocked to the hackathon site and IT firms felt confident of large turnout and local leadership support. While various communication strategies were used to attract participants, connecting with Base, the umbrella association for IT companies, was a key differentiator that made it possible to inform all IT companies. Local government partners were selected by interest. The focus was on enrollment of city corporations that were more IT savvy and had their specific technology requirements. Thirteen local government representatives mentored students on real-world problems in their localities. The Government was enrolled by cooperating with Access to Information team of Prime Minister’s Office. They provided support in preparation of hackathon, offering data and volunteers during the event. INGOs were brought in as problem statement owners. Critical to the event’s success was having an IT mentor for every problem statement, devoted to solving that special one. Mentors ensured that all the solutions were documented and no two teams worked on the same solution. The mentors also chose which solutions to present to the audience. The connectivity- and bandwidth support was worth around USD 7000 and swags were worth around USD 1000. Post Hackathon and Outcome:Already, discussions are underway with a tech incubator to support 10 to 20 teams. Photos and videos: http://hackathonbd.com/gallery/video/?tubepress_page=1 Lahore and 7 other cities in Pakistan Context: The site was active in creating an environment that was conducive to breakthroughs. Four intensive sessions were held to define problem statements in rural and urban water and sanitation utilities/service providers and received about 35 problem statements. These were combined and simplified (from development language to IT lingo) into total 14. The sanitation challenges that emerged included verification of ODF through technology; connecting the demand & supply of sanitation, sanitation games for awareness raising, tracking the complaints and improving governance using mobiles etc. Pre- Hackathon: Eight tech camps were organized in various parts of Pakistan, some of which were within private university premises. The lead partner Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) provided the venue (for hacking and for residence of non- Lahore hackers) and also their IT equipment's and facilities. Chairman PITB, Dr Umar Saif announced "incubation chamber" facility for two teams to continue refining the app with technical and financial assistance of PITB. Hackathon: Rachid Benmessaoud, Country Director, World Bank in Pakistan delivered the keynote address highlighting the Bank support to innovation and youth. It attracted influential people like the former Federal Minister of Science & Technology & IT, Dr Professor Atta ur Rehman to kick start the inaugural event. Partnering Urban Unit supported participant registration on November 30th using technology to issue bar coded registration name tags. Post-Hackathon and Outcome: About 15 national and multi-national companies and institutions supported the event as sponsors from give ways for hackers to breakfast and dinners and from providing mentors to prizes for winners. Pune in India Pre-Hackathon: Ahead of the event, two brainstorming sessions were held in India, which brought together sanitation sector specialists and software developers to identify problems in the sanitation sector where ICT could help. The Pune event garnered considerable interest from Government, IT companies and sector professionals. Around 18 partners/sponsors collaborated (more than the water hackathon) with the event including three ministries from the Government of India, the Department of Information Technology, Ministry of Urban Development and the Ministry of Drinking Water Supply. The lead technology partner Infosys provided their 100 acre campus to host the event. Over the years, they have catalyzed some of the major changes that have led to India's emergence as the global destination for software services talent. They pioneered the Global Delivery Model and became the first IT company from India to be listed on NASDAQ. Post Hackathon: The WSP has organized a workshop in Delhi for the six winning teams to present their prototypes before high profile government officials from the Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation, Department of Urban Development and Department of Information Technology and also other development sector specialists in the first quarter of 2013. Outcome: WSP has already supported the winner of the Bangalore Water Hackathon in development of a mobile application which provides customers the opportunity to provide feedback on the quality of service in water and sanitation corroborating the reporting done by the city on the Ministry of Urban Development on service level benchmarking. The application is being piloted amongst 25,000 people. This year, two Incubators are supporting the winners of the sanitation hackathon in their prototypes post the event. The Infosys Foundation is in the process of refining and developing team TernUp’s Toilet app and The Hatch for Startups is working with the 3sensitizers to develop their prototype. Helsinki in Finland Context and Pre-Hackathon: In Helsinki, a hackathon of approximately 30 people was organized in Aalto University, which is often referred to as the innovation hub of Finland. The Helsinki Hackathon used problem statements from Dhaka and from other sites. Hackathon: The Helsinki event was conducted by people from the innovations lab of IBM Finland and other interesting companies. Finland’s key for innovations lies in games and also the hackathon had its game aspect to it. One interesting phenomena in Aalto University’s partnerships is the Bottom of the Pyramid or “BoP”. Finnish games developers and other startups pay attention to innovations for the poorer part of the global population. That’s why the sanitation hackathon was seen as an interesting event where Finnish innovations could be useful in other parts of the world, in cases when partnerships are born. This was the main gain of organizing the sanitation hackathon. Finnish development cooperation concentrates on water and Finnish Water Forum was one of the main organizers of this event. Outcome: Now that more people in the IT sector are more aware of the problems related to sanitation and water in developing countries, also Finnish technology can be for help in solving the water and sanitation problems in the developing world. London in United Kingdom Pre-Hackathon: Ensuring a legacy from any hackathon is important and the Sanitation Hackathon is no different. Having hackers turn up, write some code and leave isn’t sustainable. Part of the solution is to facilitate communication with other sites. Instead of competing, open source software is about collaboration. The same applies here. The different sites will communicate with each other, so what happens in Dar es Salaam isn't replicated in London and vice-versa. Another critical piece is ensuring that the right tools and environment are there for the participants. In London and Dar es Salaam, server space was made available for teams to use during the hackathon so hacks were available online. Others could view their work and functionality during the event as well as after, potentially getting feedback from problem statement owners, NGOs and Ministries. All the code will be open source and available on Github so more hackers can develop on top of the solutions. Technically for the event we aim to have blisteringly fast internet, a lot of power points with a few spare Raspberry Pi and Arduino boards available for hardware hacking. The event was sponsored by Unilever’s Domestos brand. Two of its judges were Andrew Stott and Alex Kay. Andrew Stott was the UK Government's first Director of Transparency and Digital Engagement, creating data.gov.uk. He continues to advise the UK Government as a member of the UK Transparency Board, is a senior consultant to the Transport, Water and ICT Group in the World Bank and is on the Advisory Board of the Open Knowledge Foundation. Alex Kay is the Managing Director of Opera Ventures and Executive Trustee of the Qismat Development Fund. Among many innovations around economic models, he developed the world’s first “Micro Donations Platform”, which empowers anyone to raise funds for a cause and has integrated over 150,000 charities and NPOs worldwide. Hackathon: Around 30 people participated in the Sanitation Hackathon in London, organized by WSUP (Water and Sanitation for the Urban Poor). Hub Westminster hosted the Launch of the London Sanitation Hack on the 30th of November sponsored by Unilever's Domestos brand. The evening program started with explaining the meaning of the events objectives. The Hub Westminister is a make laboratory for change makers seeking to take ideas from action to impact. Post-Hackathon and learnings: Some of the winning apps were: 1st place: Upraise my Loo, Quick Financial Sustainability Check, Latrine Surfer. As one of the supporters, Geeks Without Bounds offered prize of two mentorship sessions to the team deemed "most needed to continue." An accelerator for humanitarian projects, GWOB helps good ideas reach deployment readiness. Other supporter were Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship and ARUP. Due to the rise of the maker movement and cheap customisable hardware, it’s important to stress that a hackathon isn’t just about software, hardware is equally important (An important distinction here is that software in the sanitation sector generally refers to behaviors, but here refers to actual software, such as programs.) The equilibrium between software and hardware has been at play within the IT industry since its inception. The hackathons in London will aim to address the global sanitation challenges, however if the right environment can be facilitated then hopefully the right (and best) solutions, hardware or software, will result. Outcome: Impact HUB aims to provide access to investment, space, programs and a global peer network hosted to foster collaborative practices and learning opportunities. Next Steps The two-day Sanitation Hackathon event in December became a gateway for teams who developed creative solutions to obtain additional support to further refine and prepare their apps. It provided the platform to attract hackers to work on development challenges who are not only getting incubation support but also provided with opportunities to showcase their prototypes to new audiences through organisers of the event. The Sanitation Application Challenge The Sanitation App Challenge was a continuation of the efforts put forth during the Sanitation Hackathon. During and immediately after the hackathon, participants and the wider public were invited to register for the Sanitation App Challenge, a months-long process that linked developers with each other and with mentors to support the development of prototypes into apps that are stable and ready for deployment. The Sanitation App Challenge (www.sanitation.hackathome.com) is part of a global project aimed at improving the lives of millions of people. The online "Hack at Home" challenge, raises the bar and increases the sense of competition from the local level to the global level. The Sanitation App Challenge builds on the problem statements defined during the Sanitation Hackathon, which brought together technology experts with sanitation professionals in an intensive marathon to find innovative solutions to the problems facing the sanitation sector. Through various mechanisms - including forums, videoconferences, webinars, etc. - developers and mentors with expertise in sanitation, business development, marketing, design and other backgrounds will work together to refine projects that address a global subset of problem statements submitted here. After four rounds of judging, mSchool, SunClean, and Taarifa emerged as the winners from over 70 that registered following a global hackathon event that engaged technologists and sector experts in 40 cities from Lima, Peru, to Pune, India, and beyond. The grand prize winners were:  mSchool, developed by Manobi, a mobile and internet services firm headquartered in Dakar, Senegal, is an SMS reporting tool that enables students, parents, and teachers to monitor and report on school sanitation facilities. The app maps all complaints, and contains a back-end dashboard that enables the Ministry of Education, regional governments, and civil society to track when and where complaints are made - and if they are met.  Sun-Clean, developed by a team of students at the University of Indonesia, is an app designed to teach children good sanitation and hygiene practices in an entertaining way. The Sun-Clean app, includes two games: Disposal Trash and Hand Wash for Kids.  Taarifa, created by a team of developers based in England, Germany, the United States and Tanzania, is an open source web application that enables public officials to tag and respond to citizen complaints about the delivery of sanitation services. It includes data collection, visualization and interactive mapping functionality in addition to a back-end data management tool. An event was hosted by World Bank at the World Bank-IMF Spring Meetings in Washington D.C. with representatives from each team flown in to participate on April 19, 2013. From Washington they will travel on to California for a tour curated by IDEO.org that that will include workshops, site visits, and knowledge exchange about principles in human-centered design. Follow-up workshops & Incubation support Several follow-up options are available to help refine the most promising tools to emerge from the hackathon and provide opportunities to technologists to engage with their sanitation counterparts. South Asia Lahore: The real time success of the hackathon has been the emergence of the Government of Pakistan as a champion to support product development of the winning apps. The winning teams of the hackathon started their incubation process from June 2013 by working in PITB's Plan 9. A session of winner’s teams was conducted with the utility staff for April 2013. Dhaka: Efforts to collaborate with incubation facilities to streamline support for winning prototypes have succeeded with 5 teams getting deployment support. This includes support for data monitoring and gathering (OpenStreetMap), game development and linking the teams with IT companies for internship and work contracts. There are also further negotiations underway with local governments, private sector, partner organisations and ministries for future funding. Pune: Software deployment is not the key solution but there needs to be a strong emphasis on stakeholder buy-in and interaction with the sanitation system. For this purpose, a workshop in Delhi is proposed for the six winning teams to present their prototypes before high profile government officials. Already, the Ministry of Urban Development has extended support to the winners of the Water Hackathon in 2011 in development of a mobile application on service level benchmarking. The app provides customers the opportunity to provide feedback on the quality of service in water and sanitation corroborating the reporting done by the city on the. The application is being piloted amongst 25,000 people. This year, two Incubators are supporting the winners of the sanitation hackathon in their prototypes post the event. The Infosys Foundation is in the process of refining and developing team TernUp’s Toilet app and The Hatch for Startups is working with the 3sensitizers to develop their prototype. Conclusion: Strong partnerships with local technology leaders allowed the World Bank to reach this community, and the response was enthusiastic. The iterative process of defining pressing problems also brought to the surface existing and nascent innovations and innovators within the water and sanitation community. This deepened their engagement and strengthened their ties, both to one another and to the hackathon community. The process also emphasized the importance of follow-up activities after the hackathon. Winning teams were rewarded with business incubation support and offered further opportunities to engage with their wat-san counterparts. In some cases, this led to financing start-ups and the recruitment of local developers by various governments. These outcomes reinforce the conviction that in order to achieve lasting impact, a hackathon should be part of a process, not just a one-off event, with deep preparation in both expert and local communities, as well as follow-up. The openness of the approach attracted considerable attention from within the water community and also from print and online media, including blogs and social networks, which traditionally do not feature water content. “This was the new Egypt at work,” said one participant in Cairo. Water Hackathon offered a low-cost, high-reward opportunity to open up water sector challenges to the talent and creativity of the ICT design and development community. This approach also required a change in mindset for the World Bank, calling for greater openness, experimentation and tolerance of failure.

This project strengthens the supply chain between the suppliers and the households who might need products and/or services for better latrines through the mobile USSD application. It ensures ontime delivery of needed toilet products and eliminates the need of a very long supply chain from the households to the masons to the hardware stores to the suppliers and back again up to the households which causes the unmatched supply and demand due to a long time frame between the demand or request and the supply. Latrine surfer A latrine emptier location app. The team tackled the United challenges set by Water for People: Kingdom · Analysed and identified gaps in the WfP data, generated sample charts for dashboard use as their data volumes rise, and sized the potential market in Blantyre · Scoured the web for free databasing and integrated dashboarding tools for WfP purposes, and recommended GoogleFusionTables and GoogleCharts to WfP · Built a prototype app 'LatrineSurfer' to capture geolocation data and customer telephone details at point of latrine emptying · Identified a simple and cost-effective automated customer feedback method Set Settal Set Settal is a mobile-web platform aiming to connect Senegal citizens and residents with local health agencies. Set Settal is a mobile-web platform aiming to connect citizens and residents with local health agencies. The platform is designed to help sanitation companies to identify areas of interventions. Residents are directly involved in the management of hygiene in their area of residence. They can report an incident by SMS or internet platform to Set Settal. http://youtu.be/uqS_H3Wdt5c MapSh.it Mapping and verification app currently hosting map of United 10,000 + "open-defecation free" gram panchayat in India. States 1) The team mapped all "open-defecation free" gram panchayats in India (using data from India's Minsitry of Drinking Water and Sanitation). The map should allow the public to easily see where the open defecation problem is greatest/where the most progress is being made. The map - especially when combined with health and income data - may also help policy makers better target investments in sanitation. MSewer mash Combine data resources detailing sewers, rainfall and United with rainfall elevation along with populations and inflow to drinking States and elevation water, to detail hotspots Unplanned events can contaminate drinking water with sewage. Use data to find sites proactively, and also have a reactive method to enter rupture/overflow at specific locations. Plot vectors of where people and water will be affected by sewage. School Track School Track is a program designed to track the number United of students by gender at schools. States Born out of the NYC's Sanitation Hackathon, SchoolTrack is a program designed to track the number of students by gender at schools. The World Bank requested this application to determine if providing sanitation facilities and women's health education at schools improves the attendance of girls. http://www.sanitationhackathon.org/node/16379/edit - edit-field-application-description Project Mobile off-grid hybrid renewable energy production and Finland Capricon – water purification container plant for crisis management Clean Water operations. and Renewable System uses local renewable energy sources (RES) for Energy the energy production. Basic station/plant has PV modules, Wind turbines and Energy storage. Thus, the system is equipped with battery storage units, to store energy, which will be used at night time and on time with high electricity demand. System provides electricity to rescue hospital, rescue camp area lighting, communication systems, one single power system. The system's heat production plant provides necessary heat for rescue hospitals and other sanitation needs. Heat power is used for creating potable water, hot water, steam and heat for e.g. hospital sterilization needs, etc. System need to utilize ground water, and possibly re- water; rain water, grey water, etc. The CHPWp system focus is to be easy to operate, with low maintenance, and low technical staff. System is to have Mobile/GPRS/Internet access to maintain and remotely monitor and operate the system as well. Project Capricorn - Crisis management project - the CHPWp unit is uniquely developed for accurate production and supply of these vital resources (heat/power/cooling/water) so that different functions can be carried out efficiently. The crisis operation needs electricity/heat/cooling/water for field hospital, other operational units and basic infrastructure. In addition, camps need general lighting, so that camps can operate 24/7 and so that the area can be safe and productive. Also, clean water operations need electricity, so that the filtering systems can operate effectively. Communications and control systems need also 24/7 electricity. In addition, the need for small aircraft runway lighting can be safely managed with the centralized power generation system. Toilet Spy Allows follow up and reporting of toilet projects. Donors Finland are interested in following the status of toilets. The application provides means to record toilets and their characteristics. Then, there are different forms for follow- up (comprehensive and quick) where status can be updated and a picture can be taken. The application is integrated with a map view. Reporting is done with Excel: e.g. what percentage of toilets are out of order in a certain region, or what is the reason for each toilet being out of use. Shit Meter Mobile application that reports toilets in need of repair Malawi and publishes information to public. This project facilitates political will to fix broken toilets through public pressure, particularly in informal settlements in South Africa. Toilets in need of repair will be reported via SMS by community members, which get sent to the Shit Meter website to aggregate the data for analysis and also informs the municipality of the works to be done. The aggregate data of the toilets to be fixed and city response time (as well as a few other key indicators) will be disseminated through various communication channels to the public. When a toilet is fixed, the repair person can update the information on the database through their mobile phone and the Shit Meter will be updated (real time). Handwash A web platform that enables people to get data about Tanzania hygiene. Provides information about hygiene and also allows students in schools to report any problems concerning their toilets and washing environments. It also lists all reports made by the students through the website. Includes reporting services, allows kids to report toilet problems in schools. DumpCert (Be GPS tracking solution for pit toilets Dumping-Tracks. South Dump When there are no sewers, richer houses are connected to Africa Certified) septic tanks (ask any farmer). Poorer houses have pit toilets, or nothing at all. Both of these fill up and need emptying - and in many places this service is offered by the municipality. So, where does the thieving come in? Let's imagine I'm the truck driver that sucks it all out. I come to your house or place of business - and it turns out it will take more than one trip - in fact, three. But I don't get paid a whole lot and it is a shit business (excuse the pun) so I decide to cook up a deal - I'll charge you for two trips so you save money and you'll agree to pay cash. I put the cash for the two trips in my pocket and then tell the municipality (my boss) that it only took one trip. The cash for the other trip stays in my pocket. So, what's the big problem here? Well apart from the fact that this money is no longer going where it should (and hence the municipality is even less likely to extend sanitation services to the poor), I now have a truck full of waste I can't take to the treatment plant. After all, I just told my boss I only emptied it once. So where do I dump it? Why, the nearest river. Of course! Turns out there are few better ways to spread disease (ask the guys in Haiti!). The technology: We will put GPS modules on the Tracks. That will allow us the get the location of the tracks, in real time, at a regular interval. The GPS coordinated of the tracks will be plotted on a Map. That will allow municipalities to know i the track drivers have gone off track. The GPS data will also be sent to a server to be processed so that we can detect "interesting" patterns in the trajectories of the track drivers. eg: The driver may know that they must not get of track because there is a GPS device on the track. What the diver might want to do is stay in the allowed trajectory but, get waste from point A, B, C... and drop them at point X then come back at night to get those waste and dump thm in a river. The GPS data will be statistically analyzed in real time to detect those types of patterns. Intervention The San-IA Mapper is a tool that evaluates and maps the Tanzania and Approach current sanitation interventions and approches done by Map sanitation stakeholders This tool aims at helping the government in mapping and evaluating current sanitation interventions and approaches done by sanitation stakeholders in Tanzania. This is a user-friendly web open source platform where development partners around the world are able to visualize what is happening in regions of Tanzania by means of a map. The sanitation stakeholder is able to view the information of the existing situation of the interventions done in the area and the approaches used. Sanitation stakeholders are required to register into the system. Once new interventions are done the registered sanitation stakeholder is required to update the current work performed. Once a system administrator validates the data feed into the system the map will automatically update and the current data viewed on the platform.

Strengthening Internet based application that will enable households to Tanzania supply chain in get standard toilet services and tools from recognised toilet supplier sanitation Households will be able to send some requests(using a mobile or internet) to a known and trusted hardware supplier who provides toilet services and tools. This will enable households to get toilet buildings(services) timely, at low cost and liable services and tools. It will help a hardware supplier to enlarge the market since he will know the demand of tools and services so as he will know what must be supplied. If well promoted, the application will help to reduce unplanned(unstructured) toilets both in rural and urban areas since the hardware store suppliers will be liable to provide standard toilet tools and services(buildings) SunClean Game and Education about sanitation. Teach how to Indonesia wash your hand and grouping trash GIS enabled Help in identify the problems like demand and supply, Pakistan fresh water water problematic areas and water disease distribution supply based on complaints and health. management A GIS based system will provide fresh water to citizens system and improve development authority management and performance. Quick A quick and easy way for practitioners to check chances Netherlands Financial of sustainable sanitation by comparing life-cycle costs Stability check with desired service levels. Since cost of services over time are not understood by sanitation projects and programmes, there is a major risk to sustainability. Unrealistic and unknown expectations are set during project preparation and no actions are taken to ensure that households can cover sanitation-related expenditures in the medium to long term. The described tool will provide a quick and easy way for practitioners to check the chances of sustainability of their programmes by comparing life-cycle costs with desired service levels. It will be useful for planning, assessing sustainability from a cost perspective and for monitoring value for money. Target users are practitioners and planners that seek to improve the sustainability of new and existing sanitation services. Mobile/ web Develop a two-way communication channel where Pakistan based software sanitary stores can communicate with manufacturers and for sanitary benefit from discounts supplies The Sanitary store owner can place a request for a quotation on the server and can also accept and reject bids placed by manufacturers and suppliers. The owner can also set the rating of manufacturers and suppliers on the basis of quotation, response time, delivery time and quality of the product. Monitoring of Citizens can report problems related to street cleaning to Pakistan Street municipal authorities, who in turn can assign the job Cleaning directly to the concerned sweeper through mobile A mobile application to connect the local municipal department and citizens with each other. Using the app, the citizens will comment, question and update waste collection services in their localities. The local municipal department will use this two-way communication channel to update the respondent when the issue is resolved. Once the collectors collect the waste, they inform the municipality and the municipality shares this information with the respective citizen to verify the claim of collector. The local municipality may share the picture of the site after waste collection. The municipal entities have hundreds and thousands of sweepers but even then the streets are dirty. Poor monitoring and accountability of sweepers is one among many reasons for low productivity of staff. Ciliwung Boy Ciliwung Boy is an educational game to raise awareness Indonesia on sanitation practices and change behaviours To help people understand sanitation and hygiene issues, children need to be educated first. A game that playfully educates on sanitation and hygiene. For example, it flays behaviours like people disposing waste in the Ciliwung river in Jakarta . WIN Sys: Built for monitoring water, sanitation, hygiene toilets in Indonesia WASH schools and also to educate student Integrated WIN Sys is short for WASH Integrated moNitoring monitoring System is built for monitoring water, sanitation, hygiene System toilets in schools and also to educate students. WIN Sys uses SMS gateway technology to allow students to report the ‘bad’ sanitation facilities, hygiene, water availability and location of toilets. This reporting system mechanism aims to educate the student about sanitation, hygiene, and toilet facilities. This System also has a web portal that can monitor the report that sent by the students. This web portal also will visualize the comparability and number of complaints for each school, so that we can judge and make a decision in sanitation and water hygiene. Integrated reporting system and web portal hopefully can solve the WASH in School that focus in maintenance of toilets facilities and education the students. Toilight Toilet finder to help people locate toilets nearest to them. Indonesia It is an application that can find the nearest toilet to your location. People can also add to the database about location of toilets. It uses the power of users, to help making the database richer that's very important for the sustainability of our system. Share comments can be done to many kinds of social networking. We enrich the toilets profile with the tissue, water, lamps, hand dryer, location, and direction and another important parts of toilet information so people can decide which toilet is the best for them. To know the streets conditions, data can be retrieved from twitter. CleanIT CleanIT is a collaborative initiative which helps the Indonesia citizens to report water and sanitation related problem to authorities The application uses a centralized database to save all sanitation related data and issues. It also has a complaint reporting system to report to the municipal authorities. 1. Citizen Reporting The app uses the GPS location of the user who wants to report a sanitation related problem and then marks the problem on the status map and emails the municipal authorities about the problem. 2.CrowdSourcing Citizens have been given the facility to report problems or upload geo-coded photos of unsanitary conditions in their neighbourhoods. These photos are also marked on the map either using the mobile application or the website 3. Status A user can see the state of his neighbourhood and also know of the poor sanitation areas and nature of complaints. 4. Information The website would contain information like articles on personal hygiene or how to conserve water. Online Creating an online portal for farmers to sell their goods as United Farmers industrial food production and excess food disposal States Market present some of the most significant sanitation challenges in the world US industrial food animal producers generate in excess of 335 million tons of dry manure waste each year (Source: From the American Public Health Association). Disposal of this waste by applying it to land often exceeds the ability of adjacent land to absorb nitrogen and phosphorous, thus leading to soil saturation, with the excess running off into streams and shallow aquifers. Contamination with animal waste produced within the industrial system is a concern for human and ecosystem health because the waste often contains pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria, dust, arsenic, dioxin and other persistent organic pollutants, antibiotics, and complex mixtures of hundreds of volatile organic compounds. This project will connect consumers with food grown sustainably in their local 100 mile vicinity, by creating an online market place and app suite for farmer's to list their crops for sale and set their prices for individual and industrial consumers. Reducing consumer dependence on factory raised meat will directly reduce the production of manure and its associated environmental contaminants. http://www.apha.org/advocacy/policy/policysearch/defaul t.htm?id=1361 Cablet Cablet is a public toilet finder service delivered using Indonesia Web interface and Android apps.

Sanimap A crowdsourced public worldwide map that shows Germany existing sanitation infrastructure. Sanimap.com is a project idea that arose from a (stalled) sanitation-related map online under sanimap.net. The basic idea was to have a public, crowdsourced map that would display sustainable sanitation projects worldwide. This initial aim has been expanded to also include conventional wastewater treatment (infrastructure) where available (i.e. municipal sewage treatment plants) to include as many stakeholders as possible. Sanimap.com currently forwards to a WebGIS installation at the Harvard WorldMap Project. Initial tests have been done with Ushahidi/Crowdmap and cartodb.com. Further information on sanimap can be found on the forum of the Sustainable Sanitation Alliance file://localhost/@ http/::forum.susana.org:forum:categorie s:21-events:2325-hacking-toilets - GreenForce Report illegal waste disposal anywhere and anytime. Indonesia Find, watch, report, and share it to get some real actions.

The main goal for this application is to increase the awareness amongst Jakarta citizens about illegal waste disposal activity, thus invoking further actions to be taken. UpraiseMyLoo A reporting tool on sanitation facilities and associated United financial expenditures to build, operate and maintain Kingdom them “UpraiseMyLoo” is a reporting tool on sanitation facilities (including household and public toilets) and associated financial expenditures to build, operate and maintain these facilities. The information will be gathered via a mobile phone application, feed via the web into a database. Data from the database will be presented visually (maps) as well as in tables. The mobile application will be used to report data on sanitation investment via a simple form. Data to be collected will include the type of latrine, the number of users, the name of the owner, its components and the cost of each component (including the pit, the sitting/ squatting device and the superstructure), the primary building materials and the nature of the suppliers, the anticipated emptying frequency and associated expenses. If smartphones are used, a photograph of the latrine and of the house it is attached to could be included and geo- tagged for tracking locations of these sanitation facilities. Data for this mobile application could be uploaded by implementers of a sanitation programme (be then local government, NGO or INGO staff) or by the households themselves, who would self-report their expenditure on building but also subsequently on emptying latrines (and associated expenses). They could also use this app to report on subsequent events related to that particular facility (e.g. pit collapse, or emptying, or upgrading of the latrine) as each household/latrine would receive a specific identification number. To provide this type of information, they could be incentivised to report with a coupon for free latrine emptying services or mobile airtime. Taarifa Taarifa is an application for reporting, monitoring and United aggregration, linking governments and organisations with Kingdom citizens.

Registration & SMS/Web/Mobile based complaint solution for WASA- Pakistan monitoring of M complaints http://www.slideshare.net/sajjidak/sanitation-hackathon- through SMS bnu and web maps SMS logging Monitoring of WASA complaints, registration through Pakistan on google SMS /web maps The citizens only had a single way to register their complaints on the WASA problems using phones that remained engaged most of the time. To resolve this problem, the idea of sending complaints via SMS was introduced. The location tracking will be done by PTA and the authentication of the complaint will be done by crowdsourcing. The slides can be found: http://www.slideshare.net/adnanzahid071/water-and- sanitation-15448325 Crowdsourcing Farmers can advertise in crowdsourcing their agricultural Italy agriculture products for sell and/or Barter. products barter Development of a multiplaform app ( Web, Ios, Android, Blackberry, WP) which allow farmers to signal their products (Description of product, goods price , quantity, etc), for selling or barter. Primary food elements research will be simplified Any signalation will be categorized, localized through the Gps smartphone capability and mapped in a map. Once the user launches the app, he will be geolocalized and according to his position, navigating categories, application will show products (advertised by the farmers) he was looking for. Every product will have a short description, goods price, quantity, etc. All signals will be showed on a Map and will be rated by the users with a +1 , -1 feedback system. Inform The solution is all about synchronizing of water supply Pakistan consumers and electricity timing. about water The problem comes up for people facing disturbance in supply timing supply of water in the area , when ever there is electricity in Islamabad in wires there is no water in reservoir , but when there is water in reservoir there is no electricity in the wires . So there is no supply of water for the consumers. The solution is all about synchronizing of water supply and electricity timing.We started with an idea to send an sms to a consumer to let him know What will be the timing for the supply of water in his Area. Problem An easy to use problem reporting system specially Bangladesh Reporting targeted for the rural people. System Users can report their problems using only voice message, so that even illiterate people can use this system. They will be given a phone number and an area code to report their problems. They will call in that number and say their area code (voice recognition system will be used to detect the code). Then they will describe their problem in detail. It will be recorded in the server and then sent to the authority of that area automatically. Authority will check these voice messages at specific intervals and then they will start taking required action. They can call the reporter for more information if needed. What actions have been taken for a problem will be recorded along with the recorded problem description to make monitoring easier. Authority can also send useful health and sanitation information to the rural people using this system. LION Sync LION Sync will fundamentally change monitoring by United allowing easy syncing of sanitation data between offline States computers and remote databases. Better monitoring can dramatically improve our efforts to address the global sanitation crisis. Monitoring can help sanitation implementers improve coordination, improve learning, and systematically identify the rural communities that are most in need of sanitation assistance. Many great datasets already exist for sanitation planning. Sometimes the data are stuck on paper forms, other times they are in Excel spreadsheets - but rarely are they easily accessible to the people who really need them. When decision makers can't get access to these data, then evidence-based decisions don't get made. The fundamental challenge underpinning this situation is internet connectivity. For both data collectors and decision makers in developing countries, the dominant paradigm of internet access is one of intermittence. Database tools are thus needed which can allow for seamless integration of online and offline data systems - ensuring that data collectors can input data whenever data are available, that these data can be robustly integrated into a central database, and that the central database can be synced onto local computers and thus be accessible whenever the data are needed. To date, no easy solution for this type of application exists. LION Sync (Local Information Offline Network Sync) is a project to create a framework for easily syncing online and offline information, and to then build a demonstration application for sanitation data management on top of this framework. Through this project the LION Sync team hopes to solve an important general data management problem, with wide application in developing country information management, while also creating a useful tool for sanitation monitoring as a demonstration of LION Sync's potential.

There States is no reliance on 3rd party software Empowering Girls is an app which allows an NGO to track girls attendance in school via text messages. A local representative from the school will send a text message to a central hub (smart phone at the NGO office). The central hub application is envisioned and built to run on any android smartphone that could be locally sourced and activated with a local cellular service provider. There is no reliance on 3rd party software or server resources to be set up. The NGO can keep the smartphone in a centralized location and provide the phone number to volunteers/facilitators out in the field, who could text back their relevant data in a predetermined text (SMS) message (eg: KEYWORD; CENTERCODE;ATTENDANCE). The text message will contain school location (via an assigned code) along with the number of girls in school that day. The data (from all of the schools) will be combined into a single file (a google fusion table) which will then be used to measure attendance rate over time. This will then be used to compare attendance rate (of girls) at the schools before and after intervention (the creation of appropriate sanitation facilities for female students) and charted as needed by the NGO representative. The phone application will also provide a copy of the data as a CSV file stored on the smartphones memory card.An Android Phone for NGO site and feature phones for the schools are required.
