Who? The community of software and water experts What? Water Hackathon is a new problem solving system which draws together the talent and initiative of software developers to solve real world water problems Where? Water Hackathon will culminate in a two-day marathon problem solving event with multiple global locations, including Nairobi, Cairo, Washington DC and … When? Event in October 2011but we are already actively collecting problems!
Why? The surge in mobile phones is transforming the way people receive and share information. In recent years mobile phones have been used to send weather information to farmers, turn off irrigation pumps remotely and tell people the location and condition of the nearest toilet. Yet surprisingly little effort has been made by the water sector to package what knows about its own problems in a way that the ICT community can engage it with and apply their unique set of skills. Water Hackathon aims to bridge this gab.

ENABLING INNOVATIVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR GLOBAL PEER-TO-PEER DIALOG TELEPRESENCE
INNOVATION PROJECT OVERVIEW ENABLING TECHNOLOGY The world bank’s urbanization knowledge platform partnered with Cisco to launch a series of peer-to-peer dialogs facilitated by Cisco's ground-breaking Telepresence technology. CISCO TELEPRESENCE simulates face-to-face communication—attendees thousands of miles apart seamlessly appear as if they are in the same room. The first peer-to-peer dialog connected 30+ participants from 10 centers around the world To discuss and uncover global best practices on the use of ICT in urban service delivery.
LOOKING AHEAD What if we had a Telepresence center in the city halls of the world’s 20 largest cities, giving mayors instant, face-to-face connectivity to their global peers?
ENABLING EVIDENCE-BASED POLICIES WITH GLOBAL STANDARDS FOR CITY-LEVEL DATA
INNOVATION PROJECT OVERVIEW ENABLING TECHNOLOGY The World helped develop a standard suite of city indicators that, for the first time, enable mayors and citizens to monitor the performance of their city over time and against their peers. This is an important first step towards addressing the lack of consistent, comparable city-level data. A. The Global City Indicators provide 40+ standardized metrics on 22 topics that simplify complex subjects to numbers that can be easily understood by policymakers and the public. B. The CityIndictators.gov portal provides an online platform for cities to upload their data and for policymakers and the public to monitor their city’s performance over time and in comparison to its peers. To date, 130+ cities from 40+ counties Have joined the program.
LOOKING AHEAD What if we use the Global City Indicators to build a wider ecosystem around app developers, citizen engagement, and comparative research?
