Internship at Map Kibera in Nairobi – Kenya Jobs, Careers and Vacancies
INTERNSHIP: ELECTION PREPAREDNESS THROUGH ICT
Dates: June-September, 2012 (approximate dates)
Location: Nairobi, Kenya
Map Kibera is seeking a summer intern to help coordinate election monitoring preparation through Voice of Kibera! This is an amazing opportunity to get hands-on experience with a fantastic group of youth from Kibera, who are working on cutting-edge citizen journalism to help increase access to information and impact for slumdwellers. It’s also a test-run of the power of new technologies to prevent violence and support transparency for elections. See http://www.voiceofkibera.org. VoK is one of the three programs of Map Kibera Trust.
Preparations are underway for the next Kenyan presidential elections. The Map Kibera team wants to make sure we’re fully prepared and the entire Kibera community knows they have a way to express their voice and help monitor for any trouble. There is a great need for monitoring the upcoming election to avoid the kind of violence that disrupted Kenya in Dec 2007. During the constitutional referendum of 2010, we tested the use of our tools successfully (see http://www.mapkibera.org/blog/2010/08/12/reviewing-the-referendum-reports/).
The intern will support the members of the Map Kibera Trust to organize the current phase of development of Voice of Kibera as a key monitoring tool for the election, as well as pre- and post-election feedback. The plan includes popularising citizen journalism by mobilizing Kibera residents at community forums and training them on our toolset: SMS reporting, use of social media, still photography, online report submission, interviewing techniques, mapping reports. We will hold a series of workshops, community video screenings, and trainings during the internship period. We will also start to expand this model to other parts of Nairobi over the next few months. A select group will learn video news reporting and more in-depth reporting online and prepare to join our teams. Meanwhile, our mapping team will be identifying polling spots and ensuring that the current data on Kibera is correct.
Your role, as our intern, will be to help build capacity and support the team to achieve their goals, plus support them by providing training, facilitation and guidance in your technical, community-organizing, and/or new media skills.
This internship will provide hands-on experience with our Kibera team under the supervision of our Executive Director, Kepha Ngito. It will be tailored to the experience and needs of the intern and the organization, and could involve more in-depth work in program expansion, new skill training, and/or political awareness and civic engagement training depending on the skills and interests of the intern.
Required:
- Graduate level education completed or currently in process in a relevant subject area
- Experience in Kenya preferred; at minimum, field-level work experience in developing country environment required.
- Familiarity with tools of new media such as Ushahidi, blogging, online journalism, video production, podcasting.
- Familiarity with open source tools and concepts, and open data tools and concepts.
- Background in at least two of the following: journalism, political processes and democracy-building, mapping, ICT for development, mobiles for development, community or grassroots organizing, participatory development processes, software development.
- Ability to work in challenging conditions and with young people.
Please note:
This is not a remunerated internship. The intern is expected to provide for all costs including transport to and from Kenya and costs of living in Nairobi. Map Kibera will provide assistance in finding an affordable place to live or shared living quarters to help defray costs. Basic local communication and transport may be covered.
Map Kibera can assist with any documentation necessary for scholarships or grants applicable to this internship, as well as requirements of the intern’s University for course credit.
