Combatting Corruption with Mobile Phones

ICT for Development Seminar Series

India’s right to information movement demonstrated the potential to combat corruption through social audits – an exercise to share and verify public records with people. India’s right to information movement demonstrated the potential to combat corruption through social audits – an exercise to share and verify public records with people. But this process requires a lot of time, skill and organisational effort – thanks to which very few audits are organised in India despite its potential. We hope to change this by creating digital tools for activists, which they can use to organise social audits continuously at low cost, and thus challenge corruption in a sustained manner. The technology involves collecting public records online, disseminating it to people via mobile phones and collecting their feedback so that the activists can redress grievances in a timely manner. I will share the progress of the project so far in this talk. Please note: video captions are auto-generated and may contain errors.
