Here's a story about how a fast-food eatery need not necessarily bad for you, or the environment:
Eating at a fast food joint may not seem like an inherently progressive thing to do, but if you bite in to one of the Chipotle chain’s tasty oversized burritos, you’re supporting a business dedicated to natural ingredients, environmental awareness, and enthusiasm for education.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Smaller companies (less than 500 employees) worldwide are being severely impacted by rising health care costs. (US Health care spending will soon exceed $2.9 trillion) These health care costs lower a companies’ bottom-line worldwide often affecting their ability to remain in business.
Such companies often do not have access to corporate wellness programs nor do they have trained personnel to implement such activity effectively. Corporate Wellness reduces workmen’s compensation, lowers absenteeism and prescription costs, improves productivity and lowers health care costs. Wellness programs are not uniform and aren’t being effectively delivered to the employees and their families.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
A Corporate Wellness “Tool Box” is a Game Changer. For profit companies CAN deliverer the wellness/ prevention message (provided they have the tools) far better than the medical community! The solution is to create and DELIVER TO SMALL AND MID-SIZE COMPANIES AN INNOVATIVE CORPORATE WELLNESS “TOOL BOX” THAT allows them to EXECUTE ON PREVENTION AS A RAPID SOLUTION TO REDUCE A COMPANY’S costs including HEALTH CARE COSTS USING:
1. Software technology that assists in delivering the message on wellness and prevention through a unique multi-channel system to deliver the prevention message. Incentives for employee action-
2. NEW MENTORING SYSTEM: LARGE RI COMPANIES MENTORING SMALL/MID-SIZE COMPANIES USING THEIR BEST PRACTICES - Premise: companies can deliver the prevention message better than the healthcare community.
3. NEW INDEX That sets forth cost savings to companies called- A PREVENTION IMPACT INDEX(PII) -
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Typically a small company does not have a specific HR person dealing with wellness or prevention. Often the CEO or CFO is the de-facto HR person and also deals with an outside sales person regarding purchase of health insurance. Some form of wellness program may be offered from Blue Cross or United Health etc. These usually call for specific actions namely an annual visit to physicians, blood pressure check-up, completion of a health assessment questionnaire, etc. These actions are important but don’t go far enough to improve the bottom line of a company. A corporate wellness “Tool Box” as a Game Changer includes:
1. Prevention Impact Index (PII) that allowing the CFO to analyze dollar savings that come with strong weight loss, smoking cessation and or exercise programs – that include employee incentives.
2. Specific actions related to exercise and weight loss- from simple (walking contests) to intervention like physician supervised weight loss and aggressing smoking cessation actions-
3. The key to the system’s success is the message and the delivery of the message which is set forth using proprietary software from Messaging lab.
4. Smart phone, individualized web based employee support make the program work

Blue Cross, United and other insurers have introduced corporate wellness programs tied to the sale of their insurance policies. These companies recognized the need for “wellness” and are addressing the issues with generic programs.
Consultants (former HR people) or individuals seeking a living providing guidance to companies on health issues now call on companies about wellness. Generic on line efforts are also available but are not specific enough.
The “Tool Box” approach importantly differs by empowering the “for profit” companies to use their marketing and organizational skills (usually not available to medical entities) to accomplish the important goals of wellness, directly affecting their bottom line.

. In 2010 while having a trade booth at a large Chamber business Expo, the booth being in the name of Medi Weightloss Clinics, almost all the sales materials dealt with individual weight loss issues. I placed 2 signs noticing the fact that discounts where available to companies who would notify their employees of our weight loss and exercise service. Requests for information on Corporate Wellness poured in, it was my Aha moment!
Following the Business Expo show, I called upon a number of small and large companies and began to understand the horrendous impact that high health care costs had on companies in talking with both the CEO’s and CFO’s they were looking for a simple and direct executable solution to improve their bottom line. As a result of that I contacted a professor at providence College, Dr Francine Newth, who was developing a Prevention Impact Index that focus on ROI. The index measured costs factors, risk factors, and investment factor.
Por favor, describe el objetivo de tu iniciativa: un resumen de lo que están tratando de lograr
. The goal is to adopt the best solutions from a fragmented corporate wellness sector and adapt them specifically for use by small companies. My objectives are:
• Offer to small and medium-sized companies the right tools to leverage their workforce productivity, achieve cost savings and increase profits
• Expand on the 160 companies already using our corporate wellness program
• Leverage the powerful software (EMR) that we already have in place that identifies corporations, demographics and geographic locations
• Assess and adopt cross border best corporate wellness practices
• Increase our corporate wellness sales force
• Introduce the power and knowledge of the health associations (Diabetes, Heart, and Cancer Society) as partners in the tool box •
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Nationally over 160 companies have adopted the present Medi Weightloss Clinics corporate wellness program. Numerous letters (available but too long to submit) from individuals and corporations support the fact that engaging in prevention namely weightloss, exercise and smoking cessation improves employee productivity and reduces the onset of diabetes, heart disease and certain forms of cancer.
Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 5 años?
To directly impact the health of employees by focusing on PREVENTION, thus lowering a variety of costs and improving the bottom line. The impact for companies that adopt comprehensive corporate wellness efforts is that it will make these companies more competitive and profitable allowing them to remain in business and create jobs. Leveraging the impact on employees and projecting the same wellness lessons to the families of employees will have positive results on their own life, productivity and happiness.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
In West Java the Department of Health reports that 75% of school age children are suffering with significant dental disease. The number one reason why children miss a day of school is tooth pain (61% of the total). Research has proven that a student’s learning process is significantly impaired by dental disease. One of the most effective and efficient means of preventing dental disease is daily tooth brushing with fluoride toothpaste. The benefit is not correlated to proper technique of brushing or the quality of the toothbrush. The other most common causes of absenteeism in schools include diarrhoea, and upper/lower respiratory infections. The incidence of these diseases is greatly reduced if children use proper hand washing technique with soap on a daily basis.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
The Healthy Hygienic Habits (3H) program educates children about the benefit of regular hand washing and daily tooth brushing with fluoride toothpaste. These two basic activities drastically reduce the incidence of the leading cases of school absenteeism: dental disease, diarrhoea, and respiratory infections. The cost per student of a 3H program is estimated to be US 50 cents per year. This includes buying a toothbrush, toothpaste and soap for the child to use in a daily activity. Because the cost is so low, even governments that are not rich in resources can afford to get involved in an effective prevention program. A program of daily hygienic practices in the schools will also impact the habits of the surrounding community resulting in an improved Human Development Index (HDI). Governments in developing countries hoping to move toward achieving Millenium Development Goals (MDG) by positively impacting the HDI will find the 3H program to be an affordable and effective option.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
The 3H program that will be developed in primary schools consists of two main activities which are daily hand washing and tooth brushing. The approach is focused on intersectoral collaboration and makes use of the existing structures of the educational sector to institutionalize evidence based preventive measures every day in public and private primary schools. The 3H Program will require contributions from all stakeholders, i.e. teachers, parents, local and national government leaders, companies, and most importantly the SHECB. PartnerAid International acting in conjunction with the SHECB will work to ensure the sustainability and success of the program. The SHECB will play a leadership role and facilitate coordination between stakeholders and supervision of the implementation of 3H. The teachers in primary schools will facilitate the implementation of the program under the authority of the SHECB. The parents will play a role as supervisors and supporters of the activities through contributing to the building of facilities for tooth brushing and hand washing. Companies will play the role of supporting the activities through donations of needed materials (CSR) or through providing high quality, low cost materials for purchase to be used in the program. PartnerAid International staff will play the role of training teachers, advocacy with parents, local and national government leaders, monitoring the implementation of 3H, evaluating the impact of 3H, and networking the participation of other interested parties in the 3H activities in conjunction with SHECB.
El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
PartnerAid International will work closely with the SHECB and also with teachers as daily implementers, parents as supporters and supervisors, and with companies as supporters and providers for some of the materials and training activities. Competitors will not likely exist because other organisations can jump-in to contribute according to the roles that will be appropriate for each different organisation. Our approach gives special emphasis on intersectoral cooperation and coordination in developing and implementing the 3H program. Since 3H activities do not generate income for stakeholders, there are not likely to be competitors but only potential partners or organizations that are interested in supporting the improvement of the health of primary school children in West Java.

Over the past two years Dr. Walker has visited dozens of schools across West Java along with the SHECB. Each year there is a contest for the schools who are implementing the School Health Education Program (SHEP) and champions are determined on a national, provincial, and county/city level. Schools that win the SHEP contest do not necessarily have healthier students than in other schools. Particularly in primary schools, the lack of daily hygiene is evidenced by the lingering presence of dental disease and dirty hands which leads to a high rate of absenteeism. The SHECB recognizes this deficiency even though they have prescribed in their manual that daily hygiene is important. In the vast majority of primary schools tooth brushing or hand washing takes place on a quarterly basis at best. With the support of Parner Aid International a 3H program would provide a needed boost to the emphasis on the practice of daily hygiene resulting in a measurable impact on student's health.
Por favor, describe el objetivo de tu iniciativa: un resumen de lo que están tratando de lograr
The practical goal is a reduction of 40% in absenteeism from illnesses that are preventable. The overall goal of the 3H Program is to improve the health and education outcomes of school children in selected schools through the implementation of effective and sustainable practice of good personal hygiene. The 3H program will play a role in supporting the development of the intersectoral program of the SHECB. It is expected that a program of daily hygienic practices in the schools will also impact the habits of the surrounding community resulting in an improved Human Development Index (HDI). Governments in developing countries hoping to move toward achieving Millenium Develpment Goals (MDG) by positively impacting the HDI will find the 3H program to be an affordable and effective option.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
The 3H program is still in the advocacy stage where important stakeholders have been meeting to plan for the implementation phase. During this phase Dr. Walker has met local SHECB teams in each of the selected areas for pilot programs. The head of the department of education in West Java has verbally committed to supporting the purchase of locally manufactured materials for scaling up the program in the future. Partner Aid International has facilitated the formation of an MOU between SHECB and a large local manufacturer of toothpaste. The corporation is interested in providing high quality low cost materials in the future for purchase to be used in the program. Dr. Walker has been networking with other NGOs that are interested in impacting the health of children through school based initiatives. Several meetings have been held for heads of primary schools where the principles and expected outcomes of a 3H intervention have been explained generating interest in the program.
Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 5 años?
The projected impact is a reduction of 40% in absenteeism from preventable causes in the pilot schools covering approximately 2,400 students in the first year. These pilot programs will be conducted in 2 different areas in the first year and for succeeding years the program will be piloted in 4 new areas. A pilot program can be developed in 18 of the 26 counties/cities of West Java with at least 4 pilot schools in each area covering approximately 21,600 students. Partner Aid International will provide funding during the pilot phase of the 3H program. In successive years the pilot programs will be taken over by the SHECB and additional schools will be added in the third year by the SHECB. The total number of students participating in the program is expected to be 43,200 in 5 years.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
A shortage of funding could hinder the success of the program in the pilot phase. However, a successful pilot program will open resources from the government, private companies and parents to support the program. The committment of school principals and teachers is another crucial factor which will determine the success of the program. Regular consultation, monitoring and advocacy in partnership with the SHECB will provide additional support for the expansion of the program even without any further outside funding. A successful pilot program will generate interest in surrounding schools who will seek to procure support from the SHECB in order to begin a 3H program. Since the program is not expensive to expand, it is expected that scaling up in each area will be achievable by the SHECB.

We are currently working in conjunction with the Department of Education and the SHECB. In each county/city there is a local SHECB that is responsible for developing the program in primary schools. The provincial SHECB has already facilitated the introduction of Dr. Walker to the local SHECB in one of the targeted cities. With coordination occurring from the provincial SHECB it is expected that the program will be received well from the beginning. We are also fostering the involvement of other key stakeholders including corporations, other NGOs, and international sources of funding.
¿Actualmente te estás dirigiendo a otras poblaciones, lugares o los mercados para tu innovación? Si es así, ¿dónde y por qué?
The population of West Java is around 43 million and around 90% of them are from the Sundanese ethnic group. There are around 6 million primary school students. The first pilot program will be implemented in 4 schools in Banjar City and 4 schools in Kuningan County. The local government leaders in Kuningan and Banjar have given verbal committment to support 3H. Currently there is no plan to expand outside of West Java in the first five years. However it is expected that interest will be generated in the program for expansion into other provinces and funding can be sought in that case.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
3H will focus on collaboration and intersectoral cooperation between the local and provincial levels of SHECB, the department of education, and other important stakeholders. Dr. Walker has spent the last nine years developing good working relationships working as a consultant with the department of education. He is frequently involved in public speaking engagements (using Indonesian language) in school environments and government meetings. The country director of PartnerAid International, Mr. Ageng, is a native Indonesian with an MBA from Germany. Both have a high appreciation of the local culture and will guide the implementation of 3H. PartnerAid International values the appreciation of the local culture and good working relationships as the keys to the sustainability of 3H.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Most people in Bangladesh do not have proper oral health & hygiene practice awareness. In rural Bangladesh, the most common format of oral care product is toothpowder. Few years ago, it was black toothpowder (powder made mainly from ash). These black toothpowder provided whiteness to teeth by “rubbing off” the enamel of the teeth. As a result, people would lose their teeth and suffer from all sorts of oral health complexities.
Often, these complexities would lead to other health problems. By the time they realize they require treatment, the ailment has already reached an advanced stage and the high cost of the treatment cannot be borne by them.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
The primary objective of the Pepsodent Dentibus & School Program is to communicate the importance of oral health awareness, together with the proper oral hygiene practices, such as using toothpaste, using toothbrush, brushing twice a day, visiting a dentist, dietary habits, etc to the mass people of Bangladesh.
Dentibus is a bus equipped with all modern dental amenities with a dentist on board, which travels to the deep rural areas of Bangladesh to provide free dental checkups to the mass people of the country , who otherwise do not have access to basic health care facilities.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
We believe behavioural change has to be inculcated from an early age. The best media to mould young minds is teaching at schools.
The Pepsodent Dentibus and School Program team goes to specific geographies of the country and approaches the schools in that locality. Then a team of dental experts narrates an interactive story to the students in a classroom. Through that story, students are taught about dental anatomy, common oral care practices – such as brushing with toothpaste twice a day, and avoiding betel leaf and other tobacco product consumption that may harm their oral health. As the whole exercise is done in a classroom environment, it is taken in as knowledge and accepted with strong credibility. Then a classroom quiz is taken of all the students to check if the message has been transferred. After the quiz, brochures and class routine stickers are given to the students so that the messages transmitted in the classroom are also available to them in a tangible form.
Post the classroom session, a free dental check up is given to the students at the dentibus and students with good oral health are given a certificate from the dentibus.
After the school sessions, the team heads towards bazaars (small marketplaces) within that community, where people gather for socialising. During these sessions in the bazaars, the whole exercise is repeated, only this time the target audience are adults. This way, we ensure when a child goes home after attending the Pepsodent School Program, the parents can relate to the knowledge being shared with them.

The Pepsodent Dentibus and school program was launched way back in 2005. Back then, toothpaste usage in Bangladesh was very low and household penetration was among the lowest in Asia. The idea was to come up with an innovative media to communicate with the media dark rural population (due to very low levels of electricity penetration) of Bangladesh. Therefore, choosing any mass communication tools (such as TV or radio) wouldn’t have been effective. We had to physically reach our target audience. As presence of dentists in most of rural Bangladesh was very low, it was important that an actual dentist with dental facilities be present during the program. Therefore, the “Aha” idea was to have a mini dental chamber on wheels that could access all parts of the country. The power of the idea was immediately realized as its scalability and potential to be adapted in different parts of Bangladesh and in other countries made the idea even more practical.
Por favor, describe el objetivo de tu iniciativa: un resumen de lo que están tratando de lograr
The objective of the program is to increase awareness of oral health and hygiene and conversion from tooth-powder to toothpastes.
In terms of what we are trying to achieve can be outlined in two ways:
1. Penetration increase of toothpaste and toothbrush
2. Reduction in the degree of oral health related diseases
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
To date the program has managed to achieve its most important deliverable: penetration increase of toothpaste. Since the beginning of the Pepsodent Dentibus and School Program to date, the household penetration rate has tripled.
In terms of qualitative parameters, research shows that students attending the Pepsodent School Program go home and share their learning with their family members (mostly parents) and influence their product purchase and harmful product consumption decisions.
Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 5 años?
Over the next five years penetration is expected to further increase to take it up to a respectable level. The project will also work to promote twice a day brushing, which is still a message that has not been well established among the recipients.
Moving forward, once the importance of brushing with a fluoridated toothpaste twice a day is established, the people will also be informed of other advanced oral health care facilities and practices they may avail to maintain their oral health.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Due to lack of funds, scaling up the project has not been possible. Under the current modalities, one person becomes the recipient of the project once every 2 - 3 years. However, for a message to be firmly established in a person's mind, it has to be repetitively communicated.
The current project infrastructure and funding does not allow for such an expansion.
Support is being actively sought from government and non government organizations to help scale up the project or to come up with similar projects. However, to date, no support has been received and the entire project is being funded by Unilever Bangladesh Limited alone.

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
The issue is to provide an holistic education for children marginalised from education in Sabah, Malaysia. More than 330.000 Indonesian workers in Sabah working in the plantation industry (oil palm, rubber and timber). Sabah depends on these foreign migrant workers as the local population is not enough to support these industries yet these families are denied access to education and other basic requirements. There are more than 53,000 illiterate Indonesian children who are denied access to education in this state alone. They need to know and practice good skills like: social and emotional; academic, moral, values and life skills.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
My focus is to provide learning centers on estates so these children can receive a holistic education providing learning skills and life skills so that they too can make a difference. To make a difference they need values of tolerance; empathy; cultural understanding. In our teaching we cover a curriculum that is heavily weighted on a values program, building character through literature/reading and through exposure by experience. Although we have implemented some of these programs we have a long way to go and many changes to the programs need to be made but we have made a start. We currently run 3 learning centers in Keningau, Beaufort, and Mendulong. We want to document the good practices and spread the model throughout Sabah.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
A specific program is our on-going reading program. Almost all children who come to our learning centers are illiterate or have minimal literacy. We have received donations of books depicting good character from Indonesia and Malaysia. Children need reading for it is through stories that they learn about character and choice in making decisions. They can put themselves in the shoes of the character and wrestle with difficult situations the protagonist is in and then problem solve as to choices. If they can find good examples in literature they will model this behaviour in their lives. Our children come from homes that are poor and parents who are illiterate so they need the role model of the teachers and story characters to help them discover empathy and of good values for their future lives. Reading good literature exposes a whole new learning paradigm. We use readers that portray decisions children have to make and how they learn from their mistakes and how they help others. My teachers read every day with our children and the older ones can retell the story to their younger students. I am very proud of their progress and the empathy they show despite their background. In terms of sustainability of the model, there are two ways how the learning centers are currently managed. In one learning center all expenditures are covered by a minimum fee paid by the parents/migrant workers. In another one the expenditures are covered by fee paid by the parents and contribution from estate company where the parents are the workers of the company.
El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
There are other learning centers with different approaches assisting illiterate children. I work closely with them, they are not competitors. We frequently share ideas and problems together looking for better ways of addressing our problems. Learning centers can only benefit from working together for the betterment of the lives of these children. Many people comment our learning center is a model for others and we receive frequent and welcome visits from other learning centers and overseas observers. We are different because we do not focus on an academic curriculum but lean towards creating good citizens driven to help their communities.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
We are now running 3 learning centers, i.e., in Keningau (101 children), Beaufort (90 children), and Mendulong (20 children). JAVA Community Development Center in Keningau is our first learning center. Since its inception it has gained quite a wide community response even deserving an article published in Singapore's New Straits Times, December 2011. But most importantly is the impact on the students and their families giving hope and dignity for a better future knowing that people care about them. They understand themselves and their capabilities. All children are literate now. They are learning to differentiate right from wrong, to think about choices and they know about getting on with others of different backgrounds. The school has also impacted the families opening opportunities and providing a new outlook on life. This school has been a life-changing experience for many children and families opening their eyes to what can be.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
The school will continue its work and roll out the model to other areas where children need education and values education. We plan to open one new school each year. I am confident that the children going through our school program now will become leaders and be able to assist those thousands of children still with no access to education. My projected target is to improve the quality of the school offering more opportunities to children to achieve their dreams. And to start a community service project where they give back to their own community to help others. Another way is to help other existing learning centers learn from our model. We believe this would be beneficial because most existing learning centers focus mostly on academics and less with social emotional skills development.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Hindrances to the program are mainly political. Our learning centers were illegal until November 2011 when the Malaysian government decided to tentatively permit them legally. Foreign workers are transferred and children suffer the consequences if the transfer is to a place with no school. There are few hindrances if we are fully committed and don't get too pulled down by political issues. We will keep going no matter what happens for nothing is more important than to prepare these children for their life. Another challenge is teacher capacity. Most of our teachers are volunteers who do not have sufficient background to teach. To overcome this challenge we want to develop a standardized training module for newly recruited teachers.

Historia de la fundación: Queremos saber acerca del momento en el que hiciste "¡Ajá!". Comparte la historia de dónde y cuándo el/los fundador(es) vio (vieron) el potencial de esta solución para cambiar el mundo.
This moment was in September 2009 when I was asked by the timber mill to set up a school. I never thought I would have the courage to set up schools alone at that time against the national system. But I knew these children needed an education and I knew they needed signposts for their lives so I said, yes I would do it. At this moment I had the courage and became more determined to insist these marginalised children had access to education. As time passed and that school became a success it was easier to set up other learning centers. I know I need to keep going and fight for the right for all marginalised children to access school because it is life-changing. . The saddest thing about the children is not that they cannot read and write, but because they never realise they have the power to change their lives once they learn being empathetic to others and themselves. Disconnectedness and negative belief systems are two important components we are fighting against in this endeavor.

In Indonesia and Malaysia we have networks with various good schools and educators. We are a member of Association of Supervision and Curriculum Development, U.S.A. We are also a founding member and a member of the board of management of AKSI (Indonesia Social Entrepreneurship Association) where we share ideas of social changes through entrepreneurial solutions. In Malaysia we maintain good relationship with PACOS (Partners of Community Organisations), a community based voluntary organization which mission is to improve the quality of life of indigenous communities since 1987.
¿Qué tipo de equipo (personal, voluntarios, etc.) te asegurará que logres las metas de crecimiento identificadas en la sección de Impacto social/i>?
To achieve the intended social impact we will need a team consisting of a creative curriculum specialist, a system developer, and a financial controller. While a creative curriculum suitable for development of empathy and other socio emotional skills is needed, such curriculum needs to be embedded in a well designed organisation and management system. Such management must be economically sustainable according to its financial model. The team will be lead by an education administrator.

Some learning centers would be able to sustain themselves, in which case we would replicate it through social impact investment. Others would still need to use donation based models, in which case we expect funding and donations. Thus we would appreciate information, referenced networks and contacts and mentorship to enhance our work.

The terms waste, sustainability and green gain popularity every year. And this is a good thing, since the environment is an important part of our existence.
Enjoy Our Planet embraced this and has the mission to learn children from childhood to deal with waste. Young people are often labeled as "notorious polluters' and in order to address this we go back to the basics. Learned young is done old eventually!
With the concept of "Jip & Pip 'children are in an active and surprising way aware of rubbish. In this way, they'll be aware and help to do good for the planet.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Our concept consists of 2 bins with a sound-module and attractive design, an educational game and curriculum.
Our characters 'Jip & Pip' will become friends and learn children to deal with the planet wisely in all kinds of ways.

Jip & Pip (different names in different countries) will replace normal bins in classrooms/playgrounds/etc. With our playful design and sound ('thank you') when using the bin. Our characters will be noticed and gain trust of the children. This way 'Jip & Pip' can appear in schoolbooks learning kids all kinds of important environmental lessons.

Our competitors are 'dead' bins that don't trigger kids. We our innovative concept we're entering this market with something completely new. Our production costs will be higher at first. But with expanding business the difference between a plain basic bin or our playful bin will be closed. Our main challenges is to get awareness that this concept works and startup money to start producing. We already noticed that kids loved our prototypes (see pictures/video).

Kids will enjoy waste management, get smiles on their faces and make classrooms or playgrounds a little more playful.
If they start seperate trash at an early age it's likely they will continue doing this later on in life. We can measure this by keeping track of the waste management done by users.

The concept's retailprice will be no more than 99euro per pair (incl. lessons) in the beginning. Schools are cutting costs so we can't sell at an higher price, looking at the price of normal bins.
The price of 99euro will decrease when production increases. Herefore we have a document with production costs (source: Deltashan, Shanghai)

La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
The main problem, tackled by the Triple Effect is the lack of quantity and quality of blood in Egypt.WHO claims that a minimum of 3% of a country’s population is needed to sustain nation’s blood supply.The National Blood Transfusion Services in Egypt currently estimates the number of donors to be an alarming 1% of Egypt’s total population.Moreover, more than half of Egypt’s donors come from high-risk groups (family replacements, obliged donors, etc.)that threatens the safety of the blood supply. As a result,patients who need constant blood transfusion(Thalassemia patients for ex.) not only struggle with getting enough amount of blood to sustain their lives, but also live with transfusion transmitted deiseases.This is resulted by the lack of culture for regular voluntary blood donation.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
The Triple Effect is a sustainability project that is committed to triple the number of regular voluntary blood donors in Egypt from 1% to 3%.We empower organizations and youth groups to fulfil their role as active citizens by adopting the Triple Effect program, a low-cost and high-impact blood donation initiative.By this approach we are trying to address the quantity, quality and sustainabilty dimensions of the issue.Youth groups and organizations are low-risk communities with regards to non-eligibility and/or blood contamination. Because of this, they hold much potential in being a safe source of regular blood donors for the nation.This is why we approach companies and universities and empower them to take ownership of the initiative, to adopt and develop it, to spread awareness and to contribute to their respective communities.We develop the Triple Effect as a plug&play CSR initiative to be adopteb by corporates and as an empowering model for university students.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
The Triple Effect Program empowering model is focused on active citizenship through blood donation.It has 3 main dimensions that work towards sustainability:GET,GIVE,PAY IT FORWARD.Get:Become active citizens through awareness and know-how on health and blood donation, via our awareness programs.Give:Adopt the Triple Effect and run a blood drive in your organization and join us in solving the blood issue in Egypt.Pay it forward:Sread blood donation and health awareness in your respective community and help create a ripple effect. The model aims to empower individuals to adopt the cause as their own, to develop it and to bring it to their communities. The model is a linking point between organisations (corporates and universities)and communities. The model functions via Blood Chamapions- volunteers in the respecitve organisations,whom we support and empower to adopt the program as their own (university clubs, CSR projects), to impact their peers by spreading health and blood donation awareness, to organize blood drives and to contribute to their communities via health awareness or community engagement. Currently we are targetting universities in rural and urban areas and launching the Triple Effect competition which aims to give knolwledge,mentorship and seed funding(via our corporate partners)to university students which would develop their entrepreneurial spirit,creating innovative approaches to solving the blood issue.These ideas will be implemented accross 8 universities accross Egypt and will bring business and universities working together for solving the blood issue.

Our peers are are all enitities, collecting blood on national level- blood banks,other NGOs and governmental structures. Our main differenciating factor is our approach of targeting organisations and youth groups as a low risk target groups and our empowering model which targets a basic need through developing sustainable solution, relying on active citizenship.The current situation of blood donation and transfusion in Egypt is characterised by a multitude of steakholders and lack of unified database, information system and unified process,applicable to all entities. There is a need of collective action and united efforts in order to create sustainable solutions.The main challenge would be unwillingless from the other steakholders to collaborate in terms of building an unified process.

When Takatof Foundation was first created its main focus was charity activities and support of cancer patients. At first the creators of the foundation were buying blood bags for the ones in need. But it appeared that even if you have the money, there would be not enough blood available or the quality of the blood would not be guaranteed. These problems can be resolved by creating a culture of regular voluntary blood donation, which would increase the number of blood bags available but also will diminish the risk of transfusion transmitted diseases or defferral of unsuitable donors. The key to acieving this is spreading awareness, but also involving the identified key players - companies and universities, by empowering them to get awareness of the issue, by enabling them to take action towards its solution (via mentoring and through the blood champions model) and motivating them to create a ripple effect by contributing to their respective communities.
Por favor, describe el objetivo de tu iniciativa: un resumen de lo que están tratando de lograr
Our goal is to tackle the blood issue in Egypt from two perspectives- the lack of quanity and lack of quality. We are working on providing basic needs through creating a sustainable solution relying on an empowered community of active citizens who take ownership in sustaining the community well being through health awareness.We aim to solve the blood issue by bridging the gap between the needed 3% of regulary blood donors and the 1% existing curently in Egypt. Our aim is to create a cutlure of regular voluntary blood donation which eliminate the need of obligatory donation which currently poses risk for the quality of the blood donated.The goal is to get all steakholders on board-donors, blood bank, patients and communities and to empower them to work towards solving the blood issue.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Since October 2010 we have run 57 blood donation campaignsin over 25 companies and 1 university, we have collected 3,352 blood bags that can affect up to 3 people each. We have run awareness sessions and blood donation campaigns in over 25 comapnies, empowering their employees to take ownership of the idea and spread awareness in their communities through our toolkit.Since May 2011, Suez canal university adopted the Triple Effect, which resulted in two campaings, collecting over 1200 blood bags and srepading awareness to more than 3000 students. We are working on partnerships with the corporate sector, with universities and NGOs in order to spread awareness and change the mindset of Egyptians towards blood donation. Via our health awareness programs we are emphasizing not only on the need of blood but also on the need of leading a helathy lifestyle in order to be a safe and regular blood donor.
Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 5 años?
Our projected impact is to bridge the gap between the current 1% of population regular blood donors and the needed 3%.In order to achieve this we should recruit and retain more than 1 million and half people. Our aim is to achieve this by creating a culture of regular blood donation and creating the mindset via spreading awareness and via our empowering blood champions model.To achieve this,we shall increase th enumber of corporates, adopting the project, approach all universities in Egypt and work with governmental institutions in order to create environment for expansion.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
One of the main challenges in the Egyptian reality in terms of blood donation and blood transufion is the lack of a centralyzed blood collection and blood transfusion system and database, unifying all the existing blood banks, exisitng under different institutional units. This poses big problems in terms of transparency and accountabilty, as well as in terms of donor retention. This results in unclear statistics of the stocks of blood available nationwide, as well as unclarity about the recipients of blood bags.In order to resolve this issue and to create sustainable solution, we are currently working with Microsoft Egypt in the creation of a national database which would collect all the data and will facilitate the whole pocess of blood collection and distribution.

The issue of insufficient blood donation is a problem present in many countries.It involves different stakeholders and in most cases the solution is in collaborative action. This is why, we think we can always benefit from innovative ideas, coming from different environment, as well as mentorship or just help in spreading our messages. On the other hand we are open to contribute with ideas.

Providing for the poorest 0.1% of people on the planet, there are 1.4 billion people in poverty. Those experiencing the worst of this have life expectancies more than 30 years less that those from MEDC's. We will always have the poor but we can increase the quality of life for those who would otherwise suffer the worst neglect.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Place an optional charge of 0.1% of the value of the good. This would begin with fast moving consumer goods(FMCG's), much like fairtrade does, however much smaller in comparison but hopefully on a much larger percentage of goods. For example if you buy a £10 football, 1p goes to Point1, this money is then invested in clean water, food, shelter, medical aid, microfinances and other life improving tools for the poorest 0.1%. By partnering with Save the Children, Christian Aid and others we will look to give 100% of that recieved.

As this is such a small percentage companies will be less reluctant to give this nominal amount but it will add up to create a significant impact. Using the football as an example, 1.5 million balls are sold each year, assume 1p is made from 10% of those sales. This means from footballs alone would bring in £1500 those in greatest need. If you add everything from jam to toothpaste I believe this could have a monumentally significant impact on the lives of 1.4 Million poorest.

There are may orginistations that look to help the poor like Save the Children, Fair trade, Oxfam and Christian aid. All have established supply chains but are always lacking funding, this is a sustainable method of funding. We are their to form partnerships and build relationships where applicable not to compete.

Currently this has just been a thought that I have been playing around with so to date I have not taken this any further. I am using this as a way to first shed light on the idea and hopefully get some feedback which I can begin to build upon.
What barriers might hinder the success of your business? How do you plan to overcome them?
A lack of backing by large corporations in the FMCG’s industry and if people are so stretched financially due to the economic climate. A cost effective marketing scheme/system would have to be employed to ensure costs are as low as they can be but consumers are still educated.
leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultarHow does your model address financial, social, and environmental sustainability?
Financial sustainable is address through the constant buying and selling of products, MFCG's are bought in their millions everyday worldwide, people need to but things to keep the economy's moving so as they do this they sustain the giving.
This is also socially sustainable as the money is not simply being given over to those in need. It is being invested in sustainable programmes like building wells, providing a source to supply microfinances from, it will pay for medical and education. If you give a man a fish you will feed him for a day, if you teach a man to fish you will feed him for life.
This will have very little environmental impact as it will utilise existing networks, there may be some CO2 generated from flights and transport but this will be minimised wherever possible. . It will be a case of nurturing what potential the land and natural resources have to offer in a sustainable way instead of irrationally taking without planning for the generations to come.
leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultarHow do you see social entrepreneurship contributing to the improvement of developing countries?
This idea/model is to do exactly that. It is to improve the lives of those who exist in LEDC's. It will look to provide financial assistance through the distribution and accessibility of basic needs supplied by those who have the networks but not the finances.
What aspects of your stay in Uganda as part of the competition do you think you will find most challenging and rewarding?
Experiencing the differences in culture and being able to invest in those people. Going with a humble attitude to learn about a lifestyle that we are not accustomed to as well as building bridges for future investments.

People in third worlds deserve thrills and excitement in their lives. It takes them away from their situation and provides them with great memories and energy.

"stoked professional beauty" will be a fun B2B brand that manufactures, retails and distributes salon-quality beauty products.
Putting words like "stoked" and "beauty" together is almost an oxymoron, but that will be our USP. There are numerous B2C brands that deliver on this, but B2B brands tend to take themselves very seriously.
The distribution channel will be limited to professional salons, and therapists will need to undertake "stoked professional beauty" training prior to performing treatments.

People in the West indulge in salon-performed beauty treatments (and Ben & Jerry's ice cream). "Stoked professional beauty" products will be a talking point for 2 reasons: product quality and social enterprise. When people are relaxed (during a beauty treatment), they come up with great ideas.... This may stimulate more people to become involved in socially enterprising activities in the future (or at least have more fun themselves!).
The competitors vary depending on the product. I'd like to start the product portfolio with a homogenous product, like semi-permanent eyelashes. Competitors therefore would be:
ABC Beauty Ltd
ABX Beauty Group
Beauty Express
Lash FX

I am attempting to tackle the level of youth unemployment in the UK. We currently have over 1 million young people unemployed, and young people from marginalised groups are suffering more. There is also great inequality when it comes to students that study at universities lower down the league tables, and women continue to be underrepresented within leadership positions in society. Unemployment is also linked to crime, mental health, and other adverse situations that affect society as a whole
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
I am to build the largest youth led network in the UK that helps to make young people from underrepresented groups more competitive within the labour market. This will be done through the provision of schemes in association with major corporate organisations. This includes: mentoring schemes, internships, networking events with professionals, recruitment activities, and an online hub for exclusive opportunities. Above all, my organisation will focus on young people developing the skills that they need to progress within the world of work through direct involvement in social actions. Young people will be making a difference to other people’s lives and will be demonstrating the skills that employers look for at the same time

A good example would be work that we recently did with professional services firm Deloitte LLP. They needed us to help attract more females to their firm. We created a first class mentoring scheme with over 20 talented young females. The females will be mentored for six months, and will be set a number of tasks that help to build their skills. They will also be support through the application process for the firm with the hope of some of them becoming employed by Deloitte. We have done similar work in partnership with over 30 major corporations and look forward to expanding

Our main competitor is a company called SEO. They were founded by bankers in New York, and now have a UK base. They focus on banking, and because they are former bankers pose a threat to how we are able to penetrate that market. However our model is a lot stronger as we are run by the same demographic that will use the services. This is why we now have over 8000 members and are expanding our membership every day. Our competitors are also those who operate within the welfare to work industry. This is an industry in the UK worth over £8 billion.

We have over 8000 members, and have worked with organisations including Deloitte, IBM, BBC, London 2012, HSBC, Deloitte, Youth Justice Board, and other organisations to provide employment opportunities and training for young people. We are run by a core team of 6, and over 70 student and graduate volunteers. We have two university societies in Leicester & Coventry Universities, making us one of the largest networks of its kind. We have trained over 4500 young people since we started, and have placed many young people into places of employment that continue to do well today
What barriers might hinder the success of your business? How do you plan to overcome them?
Finance is a core challenge for organisations like mine. To combat this I have created a financial model that has three streams of income: corporate partnerships, grant funding, and government contracting. We have had some success with corporate partnerships, have begun to apply for funding, and recently secured our first local government contract in the London Borough of Barnet. Another one of our challenges is our age. To overcome being seen as too young we have focused heavily on our branding, and have successfully one professional awards to support our credibilityApproximately 80 words left (600 characters).

We aim to be a financially sustainable entity through supplying very specialist services to corporate clients. Our clients so far include major corporations like Deloitte, the BBC, and HSBC. We aim to expand this rapidly, and will also ensure we offer attractive service ranging from brand awareness to end to end recruitment. We have also begun to focus on government contract work which is a huge industry, and are looking into applying to more foundations. With over 1 million young people unemployed, there is certainly a need for our work. In addition to this, we see our work diversifying to helping to rehabilitate young offenders who are more likely to reoffend, and we hope that we can work with environmental organisations to supply internships and volunteer schemes.
leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultarHow do you see social entrepreneurship contributing to the improvement of developing countries?
I believe social entrepreneurship will allow people from developing countries to develop a more non judgemental conversation with countries that need support. Social enterprise encourages results and relationships. It also means that more people can be involved in supporting social change. At the moment support can be seen to be marginalised to philanthropists and large government institutions. But empowering entrepreneurially minded people (both from abroad and within the host states) will encourage things to move faster from the bottom up. It would also encourage innovation and competition. This will hopefully speed up growth and quality
What aspects of your stay in Uganda as part of the competition do you think you will find most challenging and rewarding?
The most challenging part of my time in Uganda will be when I see young people that are far worse off than those in the UK. Poverty is relative, but seeing a new type of poverty will certainly be something that I believe will stay with me for the rest of my life. The most rewarding part of the trip will certainly be the time that I get learning about a new country, and meeting people that have also been in the competition that are from different cultures and backgrounds

The rural disabled population in poor countries is neglected and seen as a social and economic burden. Rarely do persons living in India's remote villages have access to qualified medical and surgical health care... a distant, unachievable dream. They end up relying on the dubious methods of local traditional medicine practitioners and quacks. The end result: a silent and depressed acceptance of life; a fatalistic and self-defeating outlook.
A Baseline Survey commissioned by IIF and conducted by a leading social research agency in 2004 in Maharashtra revealed - Infant Mortality Rate: 80 per 1000 live births; Child Births at home: 84.80%; Child Malnutrition: 62.40%. Distribution of the disabled were: 37% Orthopaedic disability, 32.8% hearing loss, and 28.4% vision impairment.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
In 2005 Impact India Foundation (IIF) launched an ambitious project in Thane District of Maharashtra - the Community Health Initiative (CHI) in eight, remote, tribal blocks covering an area of over 6000 square kilometers and a population of almost two million. IIF is creating a replicable and sustainable model for the Government’s National Rural Health Mission using available delivery systems and existing infrastructure, developing appropriate monitoring systems and methodologies.
This is in support of the Government’s goal to set up a sustainable, fully functional, community-owned health delivery system.
The CHI reinforces the Right To Health for vulnerable communities in deprived under-served areas, by creating a demand for better health services and addressing gaps in the Government's health delivery system.
After an independent Evaluation and a professional Process Document by Tata Consultancy Services, the CHI is planned for replication by the Government throughout India.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
The Community Health Initiative aims at disability reduction through cure and prevention.
Curative programmes include restoration of sight, hearing, locomotion and repair of facial deformities in partnership with nearby hospitals for surgery and follow up, as well as, distribution of Aids & Appliances: spectacles, hearing aids, braces, calipers etc. All services at Government and partner hospitals are free of cost to the beneficiaries.
Preventive programmes include reduction in Infant and Maternal Mortality Rates - Ante and Post Natal Care; Immunisation against childhood disease to achieve 100% coverage of the Government's programme; Information, Education & Communication or Health education using diverse media: posters, films, street plays in the local Warli art form for change of behavior; Home Gardens focusing on low-cost nutrition, distribution of seeds, saplings and horticultural training to promote the use of fresh vegetables in schools and households for much-needed micro-nutrients to control Anaemia; Health check-ups for school children through the School Health Monitor programme for early detection of signs of illness; De-worming for anaemic adolescent girls, in addition to conducting Haemoglobin estimation and holding talks on Nutrition and Health; Water Management: IIF builds check dams, trenches, repairs wells, cordons springs etc. to raise the ground water table and provides drinking water systems with community participation.
Capacity building of Government health staff and community volunteers is ongoing and vital for project sustainability.

In Thane District no other organisation is working on as many health components on this scale. IIF's unique role and biggest challenge is in being an effective catalyst, bringing together the Government, corporate sector, NGOs, professionals and the community in large replicable health projects. In the Community Health Initiative IIF has mobilised Foundations (Volkart, Mattel Children's Foundation) Rotary & Lions Clubs, companies (HDFC Bank, HPCL, Tata Consultancy Services, Syngenta..) NGOs (Vatsalya, Population First, Tulsi Eye Hospital & Charitable Trust..)and medical professionals (Opthalmologists, Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgeons, Nutritionists, ENT Surgeons etc.) to reduce existing disabilities by 65% and is firmly addressing future disabilities through systemic preventive programmes.

The unprecedented success of IIF's other major project, the Lifeline Express - the world's first hospital train, has medically served (from July 1991 till December 2011) more than 700,000 rural disabled over 130 projects in 91 Districts across 17 States of India, underscored the reality that disability needs to be addressed - in terms of both: cure and prevention. The magnitude of the Lifeline Express's success is small in relation to the extent of prevailing disabilities. At least 70 million persons in India are disabled and a major portion of this disability could have been prevented.
Hence, late Mr. A. H. Tobaccowala, Chairman of Impact India Foundation, (1983 to 2010) conceived the Community Health Initiative in 2004 as a dramatic, replicable pilot model for disability reduction through prevention and cure, using available infrastructure and existing delivery mechanisms, in partnership with the community, NGOs and the Government, as a comprehensive solution to disability.
Por favor, describe el objetivo de tu iniciativa: un resumen de lo que están tratando de lograr
Earlier termed the "Disability Reduction Project" the project was re-named "Community Health Initiative" (CHI) as its activities ensure the health of the community as a whole. The objectives of CHI are:
-Reduction by one-half in the incidence of future disability through prevention.
-Reduction by one-half of existing disability through curative measures.
- To develop systems, methodologies and monitoring arrangements that can be successfully replicated in India and developing countries.
The areas of concentration include Safe motherhood, Nutrition, Immunisation, Water quality, Health education and community mobilisation.
Goal: Provision of integrated, primary health care in rural areas to improve the health of future generations, and thereby social inclusion in India's progress.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
To measure the impact of CHI activities, India's leading I.T. major, Tata Consultancy Services, designed an online Management Information System. Achievements against targets (calculated against a fresh Baseline Survey)showed that reduction of existing disabilities was dramatic (till June, 2011): Almost 80% in correction of vision impairment, 60% in correction of hearing loss, 100% in cleft lip and palate repair and 25% in orthopaedic impairment (multi-phase treatment). To this, add 60% in Dental treatment, focusing on students in Ashramshalas (tribal residential schools).
Prevention activities conducted in selected Primary Health Sub Centre areas showed achievements as: 90% in immunisation, 99% in Ante Natal Care, 70% in Anaemia Control, and 60% in IEC or Health Education.
IIF's Lifeline Express Mobile Clinics (Diagnostic Vans) in the CHI screened & referred over 91,000 persons for vision problems.
Direct CHI beneficiaries number 208,788; more than half are female.
Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 5 años?
Over the next five years IIF seeks to reduce existing disability through
Cure: 100% in vision and hearing impairment, 50% in orthopaedic (multi-phase & transport-challenged areas)

¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
The barriers: (1) Access to health care for remote villages with no transport to Health Centres. IIF will enlist private sector to provide Emergency Ambulances and simultaneously move Rotary Clubs etc. to lobby for enhanced connectivity through increased frequency of Govt public transport; (2) Belief in Bhagats or Traditional Medicine Practitioners. IIF will increase medical camps by Specialists (Paediatricians, Gynaecologists, Orthopaedicians etc) to diagnose and treat with demonstrated results. (3) Capacity building of Government service providers. IIF is intensely engaging with Government from field to policy level for health cooperation, use Public, Private Partnerships to upgrade health facilities (4) Mobilise community through patience and perseverance creating health volunteers.

Impact India Foundation acts as a catalyst to bring together business houses, NGOs, the Government and the community to implement health programmes of national priority. The Community Health Initiative (CHI)comprises partnerships with private sector, supported by Government health machinery, NGOs, medical professionals and community (Gram Sabhas).
The CHI uses available delivery systems and existing infrastructure, for sustainability, in support of the Government’s National Rural Health Mission's goal to establish a fully functional, community owned, integrated, health-delivery system.
¿Actualmente te estás dirigiendo a otras poblaciones, lugares o los mercados para tu innovación? Si es así, ¿dónde y por qué?
The Community Health Initiative (CHI) was launched in 2005 in five Blocks of Thane District, Maharashtra and was later expanded to seven Blocks. Impressed by its success the Government requested IIF to extend the CHI to an additional eighth tribal Block thereby expanding its coverage to a population of nearly two million.
Private Trusts have already demonstrated interest in replicating the project in other under-served Districts of Maharashtra. In addition, IIF will present the CHI Process Document to the Government of India for the project's replication in deprived areas of the country.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
An open door policy followed by the Chief Executive Officer welcomes ideas; the presence of a Brainwave Box calls out for new ways of doing; we have flexible work hours, when required; a policy of high written appreciation exists; we have supportive, active and appreciative Trustees who also actively fund raise and suggest avenues.
An overall atmosphere of giving and helping exists, seeking consensus and expressing gratitude rather than censure and being punitive, which helps a lot. Clear Management practices are enunciated in Impact India's HR document "Ten Commandments" citing honesty, transparency and integrity, gender parity and mutual respect.
IIF actively seeks and promotes community participation and ownership, embodying the role of a facilitator and enabler, for community.

¿Cuál de las siguientes describe mejor la(s) barrera(s)s a la que da respuesta tu innovación? Elige hasta dos.
Acceso, Costo.
La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Lack of accessibility and a follow up control of patients’ medical records, difficulties in settling health bills by concerned parties for patients admitted in distant community health units, the enormous time and money involved in regular health control visits paid to distant community health units and the ineffective and/or poor health services rendered to patients in local community health units.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Our proposed solution involves the development of an appropriate user friendly database software the community health unit database 1.0 that will serve to facilitate the accessibility of patient health and physician records, improve on health data communication links; introduce distant e-consultations and health bill settlements, improve on the medical ICT networking usage capacities of health service personnel and impressively facilitate distant central management procedures such as; work planning, follow-ups, monitoring and reporting including a dynamic staff assessment and development evaluation plan within a single health unit and amongst an aggregate group of health institutions
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
The dynamic ICT networking parameters within health units is a system that operates at 2 levels cutting across all patient consultation information, physician analysis, the health units institutional work plans/reports and financial involvements from an installed database software.
At the first instant, when the community health unit database 1.0 is installed within a health unit base, all the involved health personnel undergo brief capacity building sessions for effective usage and management of the system. At the second instant all subordinate health units using the system are linked up through a secured internet tunnel/VPN to their head quarters. The administrative headquarters then structures the received data to provide read only information for the entire networking subordinate health units within the system.
The system involves dynamic evaluation forms for health personnel and the activity reports of the health units thereby granting the central administration a direct and regular access to the quality of health services provided by their subordinate units. Linked up to affiliated banks it also grants the possibility for third parties to settle patient bills for distant locations.
Our major activities will involve organizing ICT health networking training workshops, regularly monitoring and evaluating the system performance from both the technical and the consumers view points and developing firm institutional partnerships with national health ministries.
El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
Presently in Cameroon; the kick off nation for the project, there are currently no competitors. The national ministry of health seldom organize periodic health service field checks but our present initiative provides a medium for regular online networking checks. The project theme: “Fostering Dynamism and effectiveness in patient data keeping and distant financial service delivery/control for community health systems in sub-Saharan Africa” is an innovative venture we are introducing to the market in the quest to promote e-governance initiatives in Sub Saharan Africa. Only the banking sectors operate within a similar networking plat form. We are neither challenged nor moved by others but rely mostly on the user relationship with their affiliated banks so as to boost the initiative’s growth

Initially after an online social networking site project development meeting held on January 30th 2011,I thought of the possibility of assessing and sharing actual constrains and health needs information directly with the local community health units through an online initiative network within vulnerable communities. With the conceived ideas at the back of my mind and as the CEO of MAHSRA, I scheduled a technical meeting and shared the new development initiative. During a 4 hours long deliberative meeting, we adopted the proposition for developing a dynamic database software for health units that could effectively link up and communicate the patient care and health personnel management activities/needs within a unique health institution and amongst a broader range of aggregate institutions. I then later delegated a software development analyst to some targeted community health units who then gathered for us the required information necessary to begin work on the database system
Por favor, describe el objetivo de tu iniciativa: un resumen de lo que están tratando de lograr
The goal is to build and institutionalized a cost effective patient data storage, health care delivery reporting, health personnel management plan and a facilitated distant health bills regulatory system through dynamic ICT networking parameters within local health care delivery units and major urban affiliated health care supervisors, geared at;
- Facilitating the accessibility of health records and drastically cutting down on the expense rates involve in keeping and sharing patient health data
- Improving on the control, privacy, security and health data communication links for patient electronic and medical health records within and amongst health units
- Facilitating distant e-consultations and health bills payments for family members and other concerned other third parties.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
The project is still at its development phase but up till date it has been able to train and employ 4 community youths on on ICT Networking parameters and changed the health management authorities' development views for their health health institutions
Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 5 años?
Through vigorous community youth training programs on ICT networking parameters for the community health unit database software maintenance and development and also via acute advocacy campaigns for the implant of national e-governance policies promoting effective healthcare management measures within the sub Saharan African states, in 5 years time I expect to have;
- Trained over 400 community based youths who have become actively employed professionals in the development and management of the health database system
- Installed the health database system and networked over 400 health institutions in Cameroon and also reduced over 75% of states healthcare follow up budget
- Introduced our program initiatives in over 10 sub Saharan states’ health ministries
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
The sub Saharan African close government policies are our first hindrance for they may be very reluctant to inculcate e-governance policies such as our health unit’s online networking parameters for fear of external exposure of their corrupt practices.
The next hindrance is the cost of hiring highly qualified trainers to provide adequate training for the community youths towards the development and management of the system and also the cost of purchasing the start up equipments for the system within very poor community health units.
Also there is the problem of very slow internet connections in some areas, thus making it difficult to effectively use the VPN networking prerequisites for the distant communications

Presently we have developed a partnership consensus with the regional delegate of health, the senior divisional office of Mezam division of the northwest region of Cameroon and the Presbyterian health secretariat of Cameroon.
We have also forwarded the proposal initiative to the innovation price for Africa sponsored by the Economic commission for Africa and the Africa Innovation foundation
¿Actualmente te estás dirigiendo a otras poblaciones, lugares o los mercados para tu innovación? Si es así, ¿dónde y por qué?
Yes, we are currently targeting the Presbyterian health units in Cameroon.
Situated all over the vast territorial limits of the country, the over 30 Presbyterian health units in Cameroon play host to well over 100,000 admitted and consulting patients most of whom are often remotely situated thereby requiring the need of distant support from families and friends. The PCC health units also happen to be the most prominent health service providers for the less privileged/most unfortunate remotely situated populations in the North West and South West regions of the country.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
MAHSRA is a non-governmental institution that has strict governing rules and a constitutive body made up of a board, technical ad hoc committees and a general assembly of members.
Decisions prior to building and funding of her projects stems up from her board with the advice of the chief executive officer and the consultative approval of other technical committees. The board’s decisions are final and this gives the lead force to carry the project to its objective tail.
The technical ad hoc committees consulted upon by the board are often highly specialised experts in the initiative domain who carry out intensive research works to ascertain the feasibility of the initiative before granting their consultative approval to the board

Some educational programs are hyped as being life-changing learning experiences; however, few deliver on that promise. Yet the students at Northwest Community College’s (NWCC) School of Exploration & Mining (SEM) who have completed the Workforce Exploration Skills Training (WEST) program are saying their lives were changed at Ganokwa Camp.
“This program is life altering,” says Cody Joseph, a 25 year-old graduate of the WEST program. “I haven’t graduated from anything in my life, and here I am today graduating.”

Some educational programs are hyped as being life-changing learning experiences; however, few deliver on that promise. Yet the students at Northwest Community College’s (NWCC) School of Exploration & Mining (SEM) who have completed the Workforce Exploration Skills Training (WEST) program are saying their lives were changed at Ganokwa Camp.
“This program is life altering,” says Cody Joseph, a 25 year-old graduate of the WEST program. “I haven’t graduated from anything in my life, and here I am today graduating.”
The WEST program, a first-of-its-kind program in northern British Columbia, is a seven-week training program delivered in a remote bush camp north of Smithers. It features hands-on, experiential employment skills training for careers in exploration, mining and other resource industries.
Internship opportunities are available to eligible participants who demonstrate an interest and aptitude in one of four chosen areas: camp maintenance and safety, office administration, cooking in a camp environment and cultural skills coaching. A resident elder provides mentorship to the cultural skills intern.
Students arrive at Ganokwa Camp from all corners of British Columbia, some having left their communities for the first time. The student body includes broad representation from many of the province’s First Nations and Metis. Participants live in a drug- and alcohol-free wall tent camp, sharing accommodation with three others. Good health and fitness are mandatory as students go on field trips that include hikes of up to 10 kilometres up and down steep terrain. Essential skills training is embedded throughout the curriculum, teaching conflict resolution, communication skills and leadership, to name but a few.
Upon successful completion of the program, participants receive an NWCC School of Exploration & Mining certificate, a host of safety certificates and an employment reference. SEM staff also provide WEST participants with pre-employment counseling and job search assistance. The program, which ran twice during the summer of 2011, is provided at no cost to eligible participants through funding provided by the Canada-BC Labour Market Agreement.
“Graduates of our mining programs are in very high demand, and industry often asks us when the next group will be ready to hire,” states NWCC President, Dr. Denise Henning.
Judi L’Orsa of the Smithers Exploration Group recently advised the students at their Celebration of Learning, “You are leaving here today armed with new technical knowledge, health and safety skills, knowledge of best practices, environmental awareness, and a better understanding of the modern minerals industry. I would like to congratulate you on your achievements and welcome you to our industry.”
Indeed, Ida Prince just landed the first job of her life at the age of 38 as an archaeological field assistant doing field work near Prince George, BC.
But possibly most powerful of all are the testaments from WEST graduates:
Mason Berg: “Without this program, I’d be working as a dishwasher or who knows what, but with this program, I know I won’t just have a job, but a career. I’m leaving camp a changed man.”
Brandon Felker: Dear lucky chosen ones, you are in for a super positive life changing experience. I can promise that if you dedicate yourself and fully embrace this once in-lifetime opportunity you will be creating memories forever and endless new opportunities. Good luck and enjoy.
Beatrice West: “The best moments were when we were at the top of the mountains, smiling at each other, saying, “We did this!’ This is an amazing feat in our lives.”
SEM also offers other similar programs and can develop customized curricula to meet client needs. To date, the programming has been strongly oriented to First Nations audiences and their learning style (see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bp-vefkB7A & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8Lc8QPnwfk).
The WEST program will be offered again in 2012.

To finetune the program and run it more often; also to work with clients to provide customized training to meet their needs
In 5 years, what will be different as a result of your idea/project?
There will be more First Nations employment in industry (in exploration & mining, and in other resource fields as well); more First Nations pursuing further education; greater social and economic capacity in communities; more mentors to guide youth toward employment and education. Resource industries will have a larger trained entry-level pool of employees to draw upon directly from our program, and more highly trained employees from those who choose to continue with further education after our program. The integration that is inherent within our program will break down cultural barriers and lead to greater understanding.

COLALIFE: TRANSPORTE DE MEDICINAS SIMPLES EN CADENAS DE SUMINISTRO DE COLA, PARA SALVAR VIDAS EN ÁFRICA
¿Qué cambios quieres traer al mundo?
Coca-Cola llega a todos lados, sin embargo los medicamentos esenciales (ME) son difíciles de conseguir en las comunidades rurales de African. La diarrea mata a 1.5 millón de niños p/año: más que el SIDA, la malaria y el sarampión juntos. Más del 70% de la población de África no cuenta con sales de rehidratación oral SRO/zinc. Los costos de transporte son prohibitivos: 40% de los precios. Las madres pueden caminar 30 Km para llegar a un puesto de salud y encontrar que no cuentan con stock de ME. ColaLife desarrolla alianzas para probar nuevas asociaciones de distribución y modelos de entrega de ME, y ha diseñado un kit (AidPod) para para colocar en el espacio inutilizados de las máquinas expendedoras de bebidas que se puede adaptar en un gran número de países según las necesidades locales.
¿Cuáles son las actividades principales de tu proyecto?
ColaLife brings together unlikely alliances to create 'shared value' and work in new ways - eg in Zambia, the Cola bottler (SABMiller), UNICEF, Min of Health and local NGOs, to trial a new distribution model, slotting ‘AidPods’ in unused space in the drinks crates that micro-retailers carry. This brings simple lifesaving medicines like ORS/zinc closer to rural communities with no additional transport cost, and helps micro-retailers earn a margin on every AidPod they distribute. AidPods contain EMs and awareness materials, supported by social marketing and retailer para-skilling in simple health advice in areas where drug stores are absent. A first operational trial starting this autumn in Zambia will test the value chain for a locally-determined ‘Anti-Diarrhoea Kit' (ADK), will use vouchers to ensure affordability and mobile phones for tracking and authentication. It will establish key metrics and provide learning and models for roll-out, scale up and possible adaptation or transfer to other commodities/supplies and countries. Trial activities will be:
• ADKs designed and produced to meet needs at all levels in value chain (est 10,000 units)
• Novel leverage of Coca-Cola supply chain to meet demand for ADKs in underserved areas
• 30+ Retailers and wholesalers trained in benefits of ADKs, across 2 trial districts
• An IEC/Social marketing programme for mothers/carers on benefits of ADKs (reaching an estimated 7,500 mothers/carers and 15,000 children under5, in 30 rural communities across 2 districts).
¿Qué es innovador acerca de tu iniciativa? ¿Cómo es que es un nuevo aporte al campo?
Harnessing the secondary Coca-Cola distribution chain for EMs is much discussed, but no fully evaluated trial has given metrics, learning and models for adoption/adaptation/scale-up. (Coca-Cola now advises Gov of Tanzania on logistics; some ad-hoc local co-transport initiatives have been seen).
Design of the ‘AidPod’ is unique - 5 large or 10 small AidPods fit in each crate, separating the products physically/ psychologically from beverages. AidPods can be waterproof, trackable and tamper-evident, with potential to explore in future a variety of packaging options including: re-usable; recyclable; bio-degradable; SODIS-enabled (ie PET plastic); returnable; brandable; locally manufactured; cross-subsidised through parallel products sold in wealthier markets (including emerging African middle classes).
Using retail/market incentives to improve distribution/access in remote areas to essential medicines is novel: using subsidies to drive demand/improve access. There are parallels/lessons from trials of distributing ant-malarials in Zambia and elsewhere (eg Global Fund), which we draw on.
Use of SMS for tracking/authentication, e-vouchers. We draw on NORAD experience in Zambia in the agriculture sector; health product tracking using SMS is new for Zambia. Innovative text-based health messaging may be included.
Trialling an ADK for home use by mothers/carers, along guidelines from UNICEF/WHO and including soap/hand-washing: new to Zambia; builds on PSI's work in Cambodia (Orasel: ORS+Zinc only).
Evaluation and learning is a key outcome; there is already replication interest.

In Zambia, rural health posts may serve communities 30 km away, with walking often the only access option, and queuing for ORS, which, although free, may not be in stock. ORS is well known, but zinc is not. Huge distances and distribution bottlenecks at district level stop EMs reaching rural people, and costs of bridging 'the last mile' are prohibitive; so the government is active in pursuing innovative public/private partnerships. Zambia's private health sector is one of the smallest in the world with only 70 registered retail pharmacies (2009) most in major towns; health-seeking behaviour via private sector retailers in rural areas is low. There are 2.3M children under 5 in Zambia; 74,000 die per year (Under-5 mortality rank is in bottom 20); 15% of childhood deaths are diarrhoea-related. Only 56% of Zambian under-5s with diarrhoea received oral rehydration and continuous feeding (World Bank, 2010). Nearly 20% are underweight (UNICEF). Rural mothers/carers ages are 15 to 80 with a median age 37 (eg USAID/SCOPE OVC programme, 2002), 70% are female. Average births is 6/mother and household size typically 6-7. UN estimates 570,000 Zambian children are AIDS orphans, many in extended families. Of $1-2 dollars/day income, 75% may go on food. The latest Demographics and Health Survey (DHS) for Zambia notes that 6 in 10 children with diarrhoea were taken to a health provider (DHS, 2007). Only 60% were treated with an ORS sachet; 10% were given recommended home fluids (RHF) prepared at home; 34% were given increased fluids 16% of children with diarrhoea received no treatment. Handwashing practice is poor in rural areas; UNICEF policy is to improve it. Over 2009/10 we completed 3 fieldtrips and 3 co-design workshops for a first trial of ColaLife localized to Zambian priorities, meeting 50+ professionals (16 NGOs), government and SABMiller and local women/retailers.
Compartir la historia del fundador y lo que inspiró al fundador para iniciar este proyecto
ColaLife founder/Director Simon Berry, a former British Aid worker, and his wife Jane lived and worked in remote rural Zambia in the late 1980s – when Coca-Cola was commonly available in villages, but ORS not. Then 1 in 5 children under 5 died avoidable deaths (eg from diarrhoea). Today little has changed. The 'co-transport' idea then failed to gain traction, but changes in Social Media (to spread the idea, convene interest and put pressure on corporates) and in CSR and Business Innovation (eg Business Call to Action) and pressure to achieve MDGs have made the idea acceptable now. So in 2008 Simon realised he could employ his stakeholder management, ICT and Social Media skills to resurrect the idea. With Facebook supporters quickly growing into 1000’s, and winning support from UK and international media, Simon was able to engage Coca-Cola – which reaches even the most remote developing world communities via small-scale independent entrepreneurs – and persuade them to allow their bottlers to engage in locally determined health projects to carry AidPods, designed by Simon and Jane to fit between bottles within their crates. Simon gave up his job in June 2009 to move the vision forward and Jane has also focussed full-time on the research, legal aspects, business planning and bid-writing needed, both in a voluntary capacity.

ColaLife’s concept builds on 3 years’ stakeholder development, research and design, entirely voluntary to date, valued over £250,000. Supported by the UnLtd grant over the last year we have engaged with some 15,000 people online and at events, with a specific focus on motivating UK youth to consider innovative development ideas; grass-roots work includes supporter groups at schools and universities eg 15 students from University College London travelled to Uganda, reaching 750 people, 16 healthposts, 22 schools and 12 shops (04/11) to test reactions to the ColaLife concept. ColaLife has developed via Open Innovation, via Social Media and at international conferences/events including 4TEDx talks. We raised in excess of £6,000 on a long-distance sponsored cycle to fund 3 trips to Zambia, visiting Mpika district Zambia (01/11) (hospital; Mpepo health centre; 15 mothers/carers at a child nutrition workshop; 2 retailers; District Commissioner) as well as convening design workshops in Lusaka. Over 30 world class experts are donating time and expertise pro-bono: eg Prof Dr Prashant Yadav; Rohit Ramchandani, Dr PH Candidate at Johns Hopkins University USA; researchers at UNICEF HQ New York and staff at UNICEF Zambia; members of Business Action for Africa; UN Foundation staff; corporates and team members from the Johnson & Johnson Innovation Centre Belgium and corporates including Coca-Cola, SABMiller and Honda. Over £350,000 is pledged from corporates towards the first trial with 2 other major funders in line to complete the package. We have so far learnt and published on the blog: alignment with relevant government policies/priorities and corporate attitudes; how the secondary Coca-Cola chain operates, and its potential; expert and local advice to focus on over-the-counter simple medicines; past/current academic work on ORS/zinc, and acceptability/awareness in Zambia specifically; developing world health logistics, barriers and opportunities; mobile phone coverage, use and potential; attitudes of micro-businesses and opinions of communities. As a result, a first operational trial has been co-designed to start in late 2011. Costing an estimated USD 1.354m it will focus on delivering Anti-Diarrhoea Kits (ADKs) for mothers and carers of under-fives in under-served rural areas, using a subsidised retail model. The implementation partners in Zambia are the Coca-Cola bottler, SABMiller (Zambian Breweries), UNICEF Zambia, Medical Stores Ltd, and Keepers Zambia Foundation, under guidance from Zambia’s Ministry of Health as well as academics, with project management from ColaLife.

¿Cómo va a evolucionar tu proyecto durante los próximos tres años?
A final evaluation of the first trial will take place in months 18-20; with learning published via academic journals/on blog and other media. An analysis of metrics will help establish the business case for the Zambian partnership and decide the exit/roll out strategy for Zambia via local partners. Analysis of costing/pricing and value for money parameters - eg reducing costs via localisation of manufacture/procurement and economies of scale - we inform future models and help ascertain the need for and source of future subsidy (eg via voucher models and/or corporate sponsorship and/or cross subsidy of commercial products).
We will also analyse/formulate sustainable models to trial with other emerging partnerships, adapted to local needs (likely to be in Uganda/Tanzania/S Africa).

Willingness of mothers/carers in target area to pay for the ADK. The trial is designed to establish this. ORS is well known in Zambia and basic literacy is around 70% but access is an issue, rural incomes are low and ZInc use is a new policy. Focus group work will inform the trial pricing and subsidy model and suitable formats of the educational materials/social marketing work. Our research shows mothers may pay in the region of the price of 2-4 eggs; free vouchers will kick-start the social marketing whilst ensuring a market for micro-retailers. Adding soap to the ADK and making it a desirable, attractive, effective product available locally may affect willingness to pay. The trial will indicate parameters and produce options for future products/models.
Willingness to participate among retailers in target area: We assume retailers selling Coca-Cola will have an interest in making additional profit from selling 5 large/10 small ADKs per crate they procure, given that there is no additional transport cost/significant weight increase per crate. Micro-finance may be needed (a learning point), but retailers will likely be willing to pay the wholesale price for ADKs, given an assured market through Social Marketing and vouchers. Focus group work will establish pricing of ADKs all along the value chain and future cost reduction work will seek a sustainable business model suitable for Bottom of Pyramid markets.
Mobile phone coverage/ownership/SMS literacy in target areas: Important for voucher redemption among retailers and for sampling to indicate any tamper issues/authentication. AudienceScape research (2010) indicates this will not be a limiting factor in Zambia. (Only a small number of mothers/carers need to have phones/SMS literacy at this stage for a small sample of responses).
Procurement and legalities: underway with support of Min of Health Zambia; issues largely resolved/avoided.
Robustness of trial design and M&E: underway with support of UNICEF and academic expertise; issues largely resolved/avoided.
Does the secondary Coca-Cola distribution chain give sufficient capacity? The trial is designed to find this out.

Friends, family, individuals and UnLtd have supported the concept design phase with donations, expertise, time, contacts and accommodation in Zambia. J & J Innovation Centre has given 6 month's business innovation training with transport/accommodation costs and SABMiller has given advice, permissions and funded some international travel. Honda has helped with events/publicity and PR. (Total value in excess of £250,000).
For the trial, J&J Corporate Citizenship Trust has pledged $250,00 over 2 years subject to final contract and satisfactory progress; SABMiller Zambia has agreed $50,000 in kind expertise; Coca-Cola has given permission/expertise/insights and is currently considering a support package; Honda may donate a project vehicle. 3 local NGOs in Zambia including UNICEF Zambia have given significant expertise to design the trial. Zambian Min of Health has given expertise insights; international foundations/governments are considering the final funding package. We have been advised by several government development departments and expect financial support from at least one international government funder; negotiations are in hand.
¿Cómo se va a fortalecer tu proyecto durante los próximos tres años?
The objective of the trial is to test and demonstrate the concept rigorously and establish learning and a range of models that are viable for adaptation/ adoption by a range of partners, who are interested in creating shared value. Future adaptations/uptake will be decided/designed by those with the long-term responsibility for public health and/or private sector healthcare development in interested countries. Future corporate partnerships and cross-sector partnerships (public/private partnerships) will be able to take forward other trials and/or roll out/scale up variations of the 'piggy-back' model based on local needs and a win/win business case. ColaLife's role will be to act as the 'trusted intermediary', a role often needed in the innovation space, to bring partnerships together.

Remote rural areas in Africa often lack sufficient local provision for simple medicines. In Zambia a health post may serve a 30km radius, with walking the only transport option. Distances, cost and logistics problems mean stock-outs are frequent. Yet commercial fast-moving goods supply chains work well. But in Zambia there are only 70 retail pharmacies and no accredited drug store network (yet). So piggybacking EM distribution to local kiosks using market forces, with para-skilling of retailers and subsidised prices has real potential. Awareness and educational materials will be part of the ADK pack, supported by community-based marketing and events. Eventually, better hand-washing, better point of use water techniques and earlier treatment of diarrhoea will improve child mortality rates.

An agreed trial plan to piggyback on the Coca-Cola distribution chain is in place with in principle agreement of all partners/observers; J&J is actively interested in learning, partnership development and future adaptations. The trial, if effective, will roll out in Zambia. As Coca-Cola has effective distribution chains within most developing countries, and many of its bottlers are interested in enhanced CSR and community impacts, potential for scale-up/roll out is enormous.

According to a report prepared for The Assembly of First Nations (2006) titled, "Protecting Our Gifts and Securing Our Future - First Nations Children and Obesity: A Growing Epidemic" - over half of First Nations children are either overweight (22.3%) or obese (36.2%).
I want to help reverse this epidemic. This idea came to me through first hand experience by changing my lifestyle from bad eating habits to clean eating and exercise. I have the knowledge to prove that what I do works and feel very strongly that the knowledge I have gained needs to be implemented across all First Nations, Metis and Inuit communities. I am planning on changing my blog into a website where my niche will focus on Aboriginal families. I also plan to get organizations involved by mass marketing myself to go in and speak to schools and communities about the health epidemic First Nations, Metis and Inuit people are facing as a Nation across the board - tell them my story and encourage and inspire them to change their eating and exercise habits. I have figured out a plan that will work for Aboriginal families. I know how to feed a family on a budget that is still healthy and nutritious through facing my own financial hurdles as a single mother and I know how to exercise at home so there is no need for a gym membership for families.

Please tell us about the social impact of your idea or proect
Unless something is done to prevent childhood obesity amongst First Nations, Inuit and Metis children, the future health of this population will suffer immensely potentially costing society an enormous amount of financial and material resources that could easily be controlled if these children were given the basic human right of healthy nutritious meals in school and at home. Having access to nutritious meals will increase their attention span, improve learning, decrease behavioural issues related to lack of nutrition and increase school participation and attendance. No other resource can benefit these children, whether it's a computer, access to sports activity or a truckload delivery of books, without access to nutritious food first.
Your Future Goal(s): Tell us what you hope to achieve with your idea or project in the next year
Every school that serves First Nations, Inuit and Metis children along with their families will gain knowledge/inspiration
In 5 years, what will be different as a result of your idea/project?
First Nations, Metis and Inuit children and their families will have significantly lowered their chances of becoming overweight and obese. They will have improved school marks as a result of consuming foods that will assist them in their ability to becoming successful adults. They will know and understand the meaning of healthy eating and the positive impacts healthy foods have on their overall well-being. Those diagnosed with health issues (ie. diabetes) will have learned to control their sugar levels because of the knowledge they and their families have gained from learning about the nutritional benefits of clean eating and exercise.

Quality certificate for new media supporters
Selecciona la fase que describa mejor el momento en el que se encuentra tu emprendimiento
Idea (estás listo para lanzarla)
¿Cuánto tiempo se lleva poniendo en práctica tu iniciativa?
Sigue en fase conceptual, pero se espera que se lance pronto.
LA NECESIDAD: describe la necesidad de implementar tu solución y el tamaño y el dinamismo de la comunidad o las comunidades con las que vayas a colaborar
There is a necessary need for this idea as long as there is what is termed "citizens' media", and because changing trends need support, sponsorship and advocacy of their issues, spotlighted by new media and citizens' media. This idea will support these people, and will be important to satisfy the demands of such people and spotlight their opinions. This solution will be highly effective in communities suffering from oppression from their governments, ignorance and backwardness as regards information technology. We naturally seek to develop these communities and improve ways which will enable them to enjoy the freedom they want.
LA SOLUCION: explica qué ofrece tu solución y por qué es innovadora. ¿Cómo se pondrá la solución a disposición de usuarios o beneficiarios? Se valorará la exactitud de la respuesta.
The idea is a natural counter process and depends on the principle "Every Action has an Equal and Opposite Reaction" (as when organizations and companies support and advocate issues people spotlight through mass media, i.e., websites or newspapers). We have therefore adopted them in our organization, which will form strong support for these companies and their products to make them more attractive to citizens. They know that once they buy from these companies, the companies will then support their issues. Also, the companies know that once they support these issues, they support their own products in the market. The idea, in brief, is to establish an organization with an excellence slogan that is more like a universal quality slogan, "ISO", and which will be given to the companies that fully abide by the conditions and requirements imposed by the organization. Once these conditions are fully implemented by a company or organization, it will have permission to put the slogan on its products. Conversely, the slogan of those companies will be put on our organization's advertisements and honor boards.
This organization has regional offices, along with websites and pages that are widely disseminated to support local and regional issues
EL MODELO: explica con un ejemplo específico la forma en que la solución marca una diferencia mediante la utilización de medios y tecnología de la información.
What has happened recently in some Arab countries such as Egypt and Tunisia, confirms the power and effectiveness of information and media technology. In Egypt for example, the change makers depended mainly on Facebook and Twitter, and they directed and planned their campaigns and recruited a lot of members via these interfaces. We also completely believe in the success of these media and technologies. Our greatest concern will be concentrating on supporting the projects and ideas that facilitate the provision of such services to people.
EL MERCADO: ¿quiénes son tus colaboradores o competidores? ¿Qué retos podrían presentar estos competidores para el éxito o desarrollo de tu iniciativa?
In fact, there are no rivals or competitors, although there are organizations providing this service in other fields (like UNICEF, for example), which provides purely humanitarian services. We also aspire to be an international organization, supporting issues of change in communities, and for people via support and provision of important services in the information technology field, making them accessible to those concerned, and even to those who are not yet interested.

HISTORIA DE FONDO: queremos conocer tu momento de inspiración. Comparte con nosotros la historia del lugar y el momento en que el fundador o los fundadores llegaron a la conclusión de que su solución podría cambiar el mundo.
In fact, all the events and developments taking place in the Arab world motivated me to think about what I could do to support both this advancement and this specific generation that can only be satisfied with a clear and stable future. My concerns and research led me to conclude that the main basis on which these events depended are citizens' media and new media, which are outside the control of the authorities and censorship. I therefore thought about creating a flowing financial and investment fund to support these ideas and facilitate providing everybody with these facilities, and building backup stations for communications with separate censorship. However, all these ideas, as I said, need support, so I thought about establishing an organization that gives an ‘excellence slogan’ to companies supporting these projects.
Especifica tanto el alcance como la escala del impacto social de tu solución hasta la fecha.
The social effect of this solution will be undoubtedly so wide in scope that it will cover everybody without exception, as we will use the money and support that the organization receives to support new technology research, and modern communications, along with spreading the new media's culture, making them available to villages and poor neighborhoods, and facilitating their access to these technologies.
¿Qué impacto esperas que tenga tu iniciativa en los próximos 1-5 años? ¿Es una idea aplicable a otros ámbitos? En caso afirmativo, ¿cómo se podría aplicar?
We currently plan to start this project in the Arab region, especially in new countries like Egypt, as the young people there are open to these ideas. As Egypt goes forward with a hopeful generation of educated young people; this will surely guarantee that these ideas will achieve amazing success in that country. Libya will also be included in the second phase.
We, in turn, will attempt to introduce the organization to the largest possible percentage of the community, submitting support and sponsorship offers to investment companies and organizations. We will try to collect mezzanine capital via sponsors who will found the organization and have special merits as their slogans. They will always be referred to as permanent founders of the organization. We will therefore start to give compan

¿Qué obstáculos han dificultado el éxito de tu proyecto hasta la fecha? ¿Cómo tienes pensado superar estos y otros obstáculos al ir desarrollando tu solución?
In fact, the project idea is in its early phases, so I am still making a strategic plan for it. I still meet some intellectual friends, and some of them are also among preliminary supportive and funding parties for this idea. We face some official obstacles that are against the organization of this idea, and are trying to overcome them via fostering relationships with some of their team leaders and contacts. As long as we can overcome these obstacles, by God's will, the rest of it will be easier, including attracting strong support from large organizations, something that will guarantee the continuity of our organization.
¿Cómo valoras el cambio en los sectores de medios de comunicación y tecnología de la información en la próxima década? ¿Cómo se adaptará tu solución a este entorno cambiante? ¿Cómo podría impulsar tu solución esos cambios?
We expect that the information technology sector will be predominant in the next phase, so we are now involved in this field and have built a blog to support the issues of this sector and to make it accessible.
El fracaso no es siempre una opción. Si tu solución no funciona en los dos próximos años, ¿qué otras aplicaciones de la idea podrías investigar?
Naturally, failure is not the end of everything, and we should take these things into account but without making them an obsession that threatens the stability of the project. We should also be concerned with its continuous development and submitting innovative and unique solutions to guarantee continuous success.
Desarrolla la información proporcionada explicando la forma de mantenimiento de la financiación
As described earlier, we will depend on giving organizations an ‘order of excellence’ in return for supporting the issues we introduce. After our organization reaches an advanced phase and becomes known, we will approve financial investment and endowments into the organization; the revenue from this will be used to support development projects within the organization in the information technology field.
Cuéntanos sobre tus alianzas.
We are still in the planning phase, but will very soon be able to provide names of founder partners obtained through special relationships and contacts, and also via communication with companies advocating development and social responsibility organizations.
¿Con qué clase de equipo (ej., personal laboral, voluntarios, etc.) tienes pensado alcanzar los objetivos de crecimiento identificados en la sección Impacto social?
In our current phase and during further preliminary phases, we will depend mainly on volunteers, but after reaching the advanced phases and beginning to receive further support, we will start to attract specialized employees with both the experience and skills necessary.

Coca-Cola gets everywhere, yet essential medicines (EMs) are hard to get in rural developing world communities; African public sectors struggle. Diarrhoea kills 1.5 million children/yr: more than AIDS, malaria and measles combined. Over 70% in Africa go without Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS)/zinc. WHO recommend integrated ‘kits’, and ‘market forces’, ‘innovative delivery strategies’ and educational materials, to reach rural communities. Yet transport costs are prohibitive: 40% of prices. Mothers may walk 30 km to a Health Post, to find essential medicines out-of-stock.

1. The project is mainly conducted in Kashi, southern marginal part of Taklimakan Desert. Sandstorms affect the daily lives and health of more than three million people there. Arid climate and few water resources, as well as being poor, people there are badly needed for eco-environment protection.
2. Kashi mainly consists of minorities. It enjoys a long time history, and people work mainly on agriculture and planting. Though it owning advantage of many crop resources, processing industry fall behind, and minorities do not know much about environment protection. With beneficial policy issued by central government, Kashi is going to develop the economy as a special economic zone; its environmental problems will surely become more. The key ones are sustainable development and cast off poverty for individual peasant.

As a key part of western arid region, Xinjiang has a week eco system though. Over-usage of natural resources, mainly over-grazing and over-land reclamation, seriously influence the eco system. Minorities in Kashi do not know much about environment protection, and as a special economic zone, Kashi is going to develop the economy quickly, which surely bring about some environmental problems. The key ones are sustainable development and cast off poverty for individual peasant. In this way, we apply a “Business+University+Research Center” model. We hold education promoting in many types, including water saving and water resources usage, wetlands protection, energy saving, resources saving, sustainable development, pollution control, advocacy of low carbon life, and promotion of awareness and capacity of environmental protection initiatives.

We have build 13 professional technique associations and 3 cooperatives of peasants in Kashi, a 5000-acre eco base of forest & fruits, including 1500 acre red date, 2000 acre megranate and 1500 acre grapes. It is useful to protect local environment, improve minority skills and income, and lay solid foundation for further experiment.
2. We founded Business Science and Tech Association. Due to the cold weather in winter in Xinjiang, we develop the energy/resource of “coldness”, applying which we create the cold processing of high quality concentrate grape juice, which is low carbon, and energy saving.
3. We have our own patent, with number being CN101273790A
4. Cooperating with China Scientific Academy, Xinjiang University, Xinjiang Agriculture University, we founded Energy-saving Environmental-protection Unit Technology Innovation Center. Through developing effective energy-saving technologies, we create a sharing platform.
5. We have launched several charity events on protecting the environment.

Weight of the World Project
¿Qué cambios quieres traer al mundo?
The WOTW project believes that the only way to remedy the obesity crisis is to empower communities and individuals to organize at a grassroots level. The WOTW team will be going to cities across the world to host workshops and provide the tools to help communities take their health into their own hands. Workshops will vary in length from two to eight weeks and are comprised of activities that include healthy cooking classes led by nutritionally conscience chefs, nutrition education classes, media literacy panels, discussions with local/federal politicians and health policy advocates, and physical activity sessions. Moreover, participants and leaders from each community will join in the production of local PSA’s, and work together to create an action plan for sustainable health.
¿Cuáles son las actividades principales de tu proyecto?
Weight of the World (WOTW) is an international multimedia initiative that sheds new light on the obesity crisis, and offers holistic approaches to reversing what is becoming an international health problem. WOTW empowers individuals and families to be active participants in creating healthier environments where they live, work and play, while addressing how the habitual and conflicting messages in a Hollywood-centered society can hinder the success of a healthy mind and body. The project will consist of a feature-length documentary, which follows aspiring actress Katasha Nelson as she explores the causes of the obesity crisis while embarking on a personal journey to better health; WOTW community workshops in cities across the globe; and an interactive online presence that will provide resources for anyone who wishes to join the movement by taking their health, their families’ health, and their communities’ health, into their own hands.
WOTW is about meeting people where they stand, in their hometown communities, to empower them to rethink health and demand changes that will ensure the well-being of generations to come.
Starting in Los Angeles, the documentary will take audiences around the world, where WOTW will profile families and individuals, and hold WOTW workshops oriented towards creating healthy communities. To understand the scope of the obesity crisis, WOTW will present views from a diverse range of sources. Opinions of citizens will appear beside those of city leaders. Views from academics will be heard next to those of business leaders. Attitudes of health experts will be compared with those of fast food chain operators. WOTW will bridge gaps, and link resources—we have all contributed to the obesity crisis, and we will all need to work together to reverse it.
¿Qué es innovador acerca de tu iniciativa? ¿Cómo es que es un nuevo aporte al campo?
WOTW will shed new light on the obesity crisis, by taking into account factors that are overlooked in mainstream media, which often focuses solely on individual responsibility when examining obesity. Social influence, contradicting messages in media, built environment, policy, and geographical location all constitute external factors that contribute to obesity. Given how deeply embedded these nebulous causes are, the obesity crisis seems impossible to reverse. Empowering individuals in communities around the world to demand change from those with the power to reverse the crisis is a challenge that the WOTW workshops and documentary will tackle.
We’re tired of hearing the news reports that stop after the sound bites end: “According to the CDC, an estimated 300,000 deaths a year are attributed to obesity in the U.S. alone.” “The National Institute of Health says that being overweight or obese is the second leading cause of preventable death.” “For the first time in America’s history, our children are expected to have shorter life spans than their parents because of diseases related to being obese and overweight.” It seems that, as news coverage of the ‘obesity epidemic’ has increased, the number of unhealthily overweight people has, too. Clearly, the solutions that have been commoditized—fad diets, weight-loss pills, calorie-free foods—haven’t worked, because they do not address the structural causes of obesity.
Enough is enough. We need to take a holistic approach to the obesity crisis, and empower communities to make change, on a grassroots level.

South Los Angeles is a 32-square mile space encompassing South Los Angeles (proper), southeast Los Angeles, Baldwin Hills – essentially, the region south of I-10, east of La Brea Avenue, and north of I-105. Obesity rates, are higher than those in the whole of Los Angeles County (25.5 percent, compared to 18.4 percent). In 2005/06, 94 percent of L.A. residents use private cars to go grocery shopping, as opposed to 74 percent in South Los Angeles; only 1.1 percent use public transportation in L.A. County, compared with 11.4 percent of South L.A. residents. The median annual household income here is $24,000.
Compartir la historia del fundador y lo que inspiró al fundador para iniciar este proyecto
Katasha has been told to eat less, exercise more…Eat right, eat healthy…workout….but on the other side of the same coin her South LA neighborhood is filled with fast food on every corner, grocery stores with spoiled fruit and vegetables, and lack of safe space to workout. On top of a toxic built environment, commercials glorify Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian promoting Carl’s Jr and hip-hop stars promoting soft drinks and animated cartoon characters lying in bed eating Cheetos; which are all demonstrations of a media centered society that perpetuates unattainable standards of beauty and at the same time blames the consumer for bad choices.
Katasha struggled with her weight for years but it was not until she started to focus on changing bad habits and paying attention to surroundings and how much she had control over and more importantly how much she did NOT have control over. After living in South LA for 3 years she had gained 70 pounds. Choices are limited in the Crenshaw district, it is easier to get fast food, and you have to drive out of the way to go to an acceptable grocery store. It was unthinkable to sit back and not take part in her own solution to achieve a healthy weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Katasha did not want to sit back and wait for local policy makers to realize that the standard of living in her area is not equal to those in Beverly Hills. Katasha decided to reach out to her Hollywood connections and community leaders local and across the world and ask them to help and thus, Weight of the World was born.

The WOTW workshops endeavor to provide educational programs that are recognized for their overall excellence, innovative approach to the obesity epidemic, health disparities and health education, and their successful impact in serving the needs of the communities most affected by this crisis. To do so requires a certain level of funding from all stakeholders. The impact of limited funds requires that we continue to seek additional sponsorships and partnerships from like-minded stakeholders in the fight against obesity. WOTW has created a hybrid-financing model. This model allows us to fund the WOTW workshops through tax-deductible contributions, donations and corporate sponsorships and seek out private investors for productions funds for the documentary.

Exploring the obesity crisis on a global level, it becomes apparent that there are a number of factors to take into account: lifestyle choices, social influence, built environment, genetics, and geographical location, for example. Personal accountability has to be accepted, but there is a media culture that sends the world mixed messages. To challenge social structures that systematically hinder access to health for certain populations, WOTW aims to create social, monetary, and policy driven incentives that reinforce long-term environmental and behavioral change. In an effort to counteract the promotion of unhealthy products and behaviors in the mainstream media, WOTW will collaborate with recognizable faces that advocate healthy eating and active living.

Juntos por la Salud: llevamos tratamientos quirúrgicos especializados a donde se los necesita
¿Qué cambios quieres traer al mundo?
Metrofraternidad realiza brigadas médicas con el respaldo de los especialistas del Hospital Metropolitano de Quito (HM), para atender a personas de escasos recursos económicos que residen en poblaciones lejanas y que no pueden acceder a medicina de especialidad. A través de nuestras brigadas se diagnostican casos complejos que serán tratados en el HM, Hospital líder en el sector salud y único en el país con la certificación de la Joint Commission International, la más importante a nivel mundial en materia de calidad y seguridad médica. Con nuestros programas de ayuda se ofrecerá una oportunidad de salud y vida cuyos beneficiarios tendrán la garantía de que hay un médico responsable de su caso y sabrán cómo ubicarlo o a quién recurrir en caso de cualquier consulta.
¿Cuáles son las actividades principales de tu proyecto?
Metrofraternidad puso en marcha su programa Juntos por la Salud que consiste en organizar 4 brigadas clínico-quirúrgicas y dos brigadas clínicas anuales en lugares lejanos a Quito en donde exista demanda de medicina de especialidad. Este programa moviliza a médicos, enfermeros e instrumentistas, voluntarios del HM, empresas privadas, ONG´s, autoridades locales, médicos locales todo esto de manera integral. Necesitamos contar con la autorización de un hospital local para utilizar su infraestructura para implementar los consultorios y quirófanos necesarios para el desarrollo de la brigada. Las jornadas se realizan en dos días intensos de trabajo con un equipo de brigadistas. Se ofrecen consultas de especialidad y se realizan cirugías de baja y mediana complejidad que no requieren hospitalización y los casos que se han diagnosticado como complejos o graves se les ofrece la oportunidad de viajar a Quito para acceder a un tratamiento especializado que muchas veces requiere de una cirugía que cambiará la calidad de vida de esa persona. Las especialidades que se ofrecen en estas brigadas son entre otras Pediatría, Cardiología (pediátrica y de adultos), Traumatología, Ginecología, Dermatología, Gastroenterología, Urología, Radiología, Medicina Interna, Otorrinolaringología, Neurología, Odontopediatría, Optometría, Cirugía General, Cirugía Pediátrica, Cirugía Plástica y Reconstructiva y Cirugía Vascular. Finalmente ofrecemos capacitación y actualización en conocimientos médicos a los galenos locales y a la comunidad.
¿Qué es innovador acerca de tu iniciativa? ¿Cómo es que es un nuevo aporte al campo?
Las brigadas médicas tanto nacionales como extranjeras, ofrecen atención médica una sola vez y no realizan seguimiento posterior al paciente tanto en la parte clínica como en la quirúrgica. Juntos por la Salud es un programa que trabaja con médicos locales que son parte del equipo de especialistas del Hospital Metropolitano de Quito (HM) y quienes una vez concluida la brigada están a disposición de cualquier consulta adicional que se requiera. Es innovador poder encontrar un paciente que necesita someterse a una cirugía de alta complejidad para salvar su vida y que gracias a los programas de ayuda de Metrofraternidad puede llegar hasta Quito y ser atendido hasta que haya recuperado su salud. Lo importante es que el paciente siempre contará con el respaldo de la institución. Cabe recalcar que en el Ecuador la gente no tiene fácil acceso a un hospital de alta tecnología ni a médicos especialistas por lo que muchas veces no pueden dar solución al problema que les aqueja. Gracias a nuestro Programa el paciente tiene la oportunidad de tratarse de una manera privada cuando sus recursos económicos nunca lo permitirían y que muchas veces estas personas pierden su vida, no porque no había una solución, sino porque no tuvieron el dinero para financiar una atención oportuna. Nuestra principal fortaleza es que damos la oportunidad al paciente, quien padece de una enfermedad compleja, de salvar su vida, al entregarle un tratamiento médico adecuado y especializado.

Háblanos de la comunidad con la que estás trabajando, por ejemplo, sus condiciones económicas, las estructuras políticas, normas y valores, las tendencias demográficas, la historia y la experiencia con los esfuerzos de compromiso.
Trabajamos en la ciudad de Quito y recibimos pacientes de cualquier parte del país. Nuestro grupo objetivo son personas de escasos recursos económicos, que no tienen ninguna protección de salud, sea esta pública o privada, es decir, no tienen cobertura médica de ningún tipo. Son personas que tienen un ingreso mensual familiar inferior a la canasta básica ($500 dólares americanos) y tienen varias cargas familiares. Sus condiciones de vivienda y alimentación son básicas, muchas veces no tienen acceso a educación y sus trabajos son informales o muchas veces están desempleados. Juntos por la Salud en la planificación de sus brigadas llega a poblaciones como Zamora Chinchipe, Chunchi, El Coca, Joya de los Sachas, Salinas de Ibarra, Muisne, entre otros, todos ellos fuera de la capital y también en barrios periféricos de la ciudad en donde se encuentran barrios extremadamente pobres.
Compartir la historia del fundador y lo que inspiró al fundador para iniciar este proyecto
Hace 26 años nació Metrofraternidad por iniciativa de un exitoso empresario quiteño, Carlos Guarderas, quien en ese momento era miembro del Directorio del Hospital Metropolitano (HM) inaugurado en Quito hacia apenas un año atrás. Este Hospital cuya infraestructura era un avance muy importante para la ciudad, estaba dirigido a pacientes de clase media alta y alta y además se convertiría en un hospital de referencia del país. Las personas con preocupación social encuentran mensajes en los acontecimientos de la vida y es así que el Sr. Guarderas llegó a la Emergencia del HM acompañando a su pequeña nieta quien presentaba un cuadro de convulsiones. En este lugar se encontró con otra familia que llegaba con una niña en las mismas condiciones de salud, pero ellos eran personas muy pobres, que en medio de su pánico al ver a la pequeña inconsciente decidieron buscar la mejor alternativa que en ese momento era el HM. El azar de la vida hizo que tanto la nieta del Sr. Guarderas como la hija de la familia pobre tuvieran la necesidad del mismo médico y su patología fuera de la misma especialidad. El Sr. Guarderas podía financiar su cuenta, no así la otra familia. Este hecho hizo que nuestro fundador buscara a un grupo de amigos médicos y de empresarios como él , que compartieran ese sentido de ayuda social y concretaron la idea de crear una Fundación que permita que las personas menos favorecidas tengan acceso a atenderse en este importante Hospital. Fue así como dio los primeros pasos Metrofraternidad y sus programas de ayuda, convirtiéndose en realidad el sueño de salvar vidas.

Describa cómo tu proyecto ha tenido éxito y la forma en que éste mide.
Juntos por la Salud nació hace tres años con la intención de devolver la calidad de salud que había alcanzado el Hospital Metropolitano a la comunidad más necesitada y en conjunto con otras organizaciones sociales, este proyecto tomó fuerza, aunque no fue fácil, puesto que había que convencer a los principales actores, los brigadistas, de sumarse a un proyecto de manera voluntaria, que significaba dejar a la familia, el trabajo y la comodidad de la ciudad. Sin embargo, gracias a la convicción de los pioneros de este proyecto, más personas se sumaron y se conformó el grupo de brigadistas entre médicos, personal técnico de salud y voluntarios administrativos. Las primeras experiencias fueron tan gratificantes que no se hicieron esperar los buenos comentarios sobre estas vivencias. Luego tuvimos más apoyo de la empresa privada quienes aportaron para la logística: transporte aéreo y terrestre, alojamiento y alimentación y principalmente la apertura de las autoridades locales de la zona que vieron con buenos ojos esta iniciativa y no como una invasión a sus espacios. Hoy el grupo de brigadistas está conformado por casi 100 personas, el involucramiento y sentido de pertenencia es grande con respecto a la Fundación y el Hospital y el número de pacientes atendidos a la fecha supera los 11 mil. Además, más de 25 personas han sido tratadas en Metrofraternidad, puesto que tenían patologías complejas y pudieron acceder a nuestro programa Salva una Vida. Gracias a una intervención quirúrgica mayor y un tratamiento médico especializado su vida cambió radicalmente y han vuelto a nacer.

Ampliar el servicio de Ingeniería Biomédica para que los equipos existentes en los hospitales locales tengan un adecuado mantenimiento y reparación. Consolidar una mayor participación de los médicos del HM, más voluntarios y mayor espíritu de solidaridad de quienes allí trabajan. Crear un sistema de interconsulta entre los médicos especialistas del HM y los médicos locales para que a través de video conferencia los médicos de la zona puedan resolver sus inquietudes y atender de mejor manera a sus comunidades.

Para realizar una brigada médica debemos contar con el apoyo de los hospitales locales de las zonas a las que vamos y la apertura de los médicos y profesionales que ahí laboran para que podamos utilizar la infraestructura existente e implementar los quirófanos y consultorios en los cuales se trabajará, caso contrario no se podría realizar la jornada médica. Otra dificultad es no conseguir los recursos necesarios para poder cubrir los costos de la logística de la brigada que implica el traslado aéreo y/o terrestre, alojamiento y alimentación de al menos 80 brigadistas, así como los equipos y otros insumos necesarios. Para sortear estas dos barreras, realizaremos visitas previas a los lugares que hemos seleccionado para realizar un acercamiento con las autoridades locales, entablar un diálogo y lograr un acuerdo de apertura, mostrándoles e informándoles los beneficios que nuestro programa ofrece. En la parte económica, continuar golpeando puertas a las empresas privadas de nuestro país que estén interesados en destinar recursos desde sus presupuestos para temas de Responsabilidad Social y que consideren que nosotros somos el canal adecuado y buscar como lo estamos haciendo a través de este concurso de Ashoka, financiamiento internacional para continuar con nuestro Programa y seguir salvando vidas en el Ecuador.
Cuéntanos sobre tus alianzas.
La obra de la Fundación es apoyada y realizada gracias a la alianza con cuatro grupos importantes: Hospital Metropolitano, con la certificación de la Joint Commission International, que pone a disposición de los pacientes de la Fundación sus servicios, infraestructura y tecnología de punta a costos reducidos. Cuerpo Médico del Hospital Metropolitano que proporciona atención gratuita a los pacientes de la Fundación. Empresas, ONG`s, Organismos Internacionales y personas solidarias que contribuyen con donaciones para cubrir costos de medicinas, insumos y suministros. Consejo Administrativo, socios, voluntarios y personal de la Fundación que dirigen, coordinan y ejecutan las acciones dentro de la institución. Específicamente para el programa Juntos por la Salud, contamos con aliados como el Hospital Metropolitano, su Cuerpo Médico, y personal técnico en salud; con el Club Kiwanis Equinoccial de Quito, cuya mística es realizar brigadas de atención primaria y tienen experiencia en ello; el Club de Leones Internacional de Ibarra, quienes han puesto a disposición del programa una Clínica Móvil para la atención clínica de pacientes en las brigadas médicas. Por otra parte, de acuerdo al sitio en donde se realizará la jornada médica, podemos contar ocasionalmente con el apoyo de la empresa privada que desarrolle una actividad económica en la zona, como es el caso de petroleras, mineras, o instituciones públicas que estén interesadas en llevar un servicio de salud de excelencia a su comunidad como por ejemplo los municipios, gobiernos provinciales u otras fundaciones.
Actual presupuesto anual en dólares americanos.
$50,001‐100,000
Explica tu selección.
Realizar una brigada médica implica movilizar un importante grupo humano de voluntarios y también el traslado de equipos e insumos hasta la población seleccionada, que muchas veces implica hasta 10 horas de viaje primero por avión y luego por tierra. Para financiar este proyecto y gracias a los contactos estratégicos de nuestros Directores hemos contado con el apoyo de la empresa privada que tiene sus operaciones en esos sectores como por ejemplo mineras y petroleras a quienes les interesa que la comunidad en donde desarrollan su operación tenga una buena atención en salud. En cuanto al apoyo de otras ONG´s, tenemos la alianza con el Club Kiwanis Equinoccial de Quito y el Club de Leones de Ibarra, con quienes desarrollamos un trabajo en conjunto para la ejecución de las brigadas y financiamiento de parte de ellas. Los gobiernos regionales por su parte también han financiado esta iniciativa pues es de su interés que médicos especialistas lleguen hasta sus zonas y hospitales a ofrecer una oportunidad de salud y vida a sus pobladores.
¿Cómo se va a fortalecer tu proyecto durante los próximos tres años?
Juntos por la Salud se fortalecerá en los próximos tres años con una mayor participación activa de los médicos del Hospital Metropolitano, en quienes ha crecido un positivo sentido de pertenencia al formar parte del grupo de brigadistas generándose un efecto de contagio positivo. Asimismo más personas voluntarias, de distintas áreas, querrán acompañar en las misiones. Por otra parte, se fortalecerá porque al conseguir financiamiento de empresas privadas y otras organizaciones internacionales, podremos adquirir equipos médicos que nos permitan brindar una mejor cobertura y atención médica en los sitios a los cuales visitamos. Al contar con mayores recursos económicos, podremos realizar un mayor número de brigadas y atender a más personas, y principalmente encontrar pacientes que tengan enfermedades graves que puedan beneficiarse del programa Salva una Vida y acceder a un tratamiento médico especializado en Quito. Finalmente como un aporte a la comunidad, crear un sistema de intercambio de conocimientos de tal manera que nuestros médicos especialistas puedan compartir sus experiencias y actualizar a los médicos locales de la zona.

Las personas pobres que viven en poblaciones lejanas no tienen la posibilidad de viajar hasta la ciudad para encontrar un médico especialista, solo tienen acceso a la medicina que se ofrece en los dispensarios médicos que además no cuentan con equipos de alta tecnología. Por esta razón los diagnósticos de enfermedades complejas no son efectivos. Gracias a nuestros especialistas, las personas pueden encontrar una orientación clara sobre su enfermedad y hasta solucionarla a través de una cirugía de baja y mediana complejidad que se hace en el lugar y en caso de detectar una enfermedad de mayor gravedad, darle al paciente la oportunidad de acceder a los programas de ayuda de Metrofraternidad para ser tratado en el HM.

De ser así, ¿estas colaboraciones han ayudado a que tu innovación tenga éxito?
Gracias a los gobiernos locales contamos con las autorizaciones para llegar a la zona y llevar a cabo las brigadas. Estas instituciones han apoyado económicamente financiando el transporte terrestre desde el aeropuerto más cercano hasta la comunidad, así como el alojamiento y la estadía de los brigadistas. Por otra parte, otras organizaciones sin fines de lucro han intercedido para conseguir la aceptación de las autoridades médicas locales para que nos permitan trabajar en sus hospitales. La empresa privada ha financiado para la logística en general con: boletos aéreos, hoteles, alimentación, además al estar vinculados con las comunidades en los lugares en los cuales desarrollan su operación, han traído pacientes a las jornadas y han sido un nexo entre Juntos por la Salud y la comunidad.

Web2solidarité.org, based on the technical developments of Web 2.0, bridges the information and networking needs, and the exchange of best practices between activists in the North and South in the fight against the digital divide. The network is a model of citizen collective intelligence promoting the implementation of digital solidarity projects in areas such as e-education, e-agriculture, telemedicine, connectivity, and computer donations. Today, this platform brings together 892 members who are engineers, experts, researchers, activists, social entrepreneurs, and journalists from 45 countries in Africa, Europe, the Asia Pacific region, and the Americas. The initiative now aims to extend its international impact through a program of "Cyberplumes" aiming to recruit 50 field correspondents who will speak out and regularly publish local reports and blog posts on the Web2solidarité.org platform about the day-to-day reality of the digital divide in their respective countries.
LA SOLUCION: explica qué ofrece tu solución y por qué es innovadora. ¿Cómo se pondrá la solución a disposición de usuarios o beneficiarios? Se valorará la exactitud de la respuesta.
The global digital gap, a complex and multifaceted process, continues to widen between North and South. Solutions exist to reduce it but they are something you need to develop and build together. Such solutions won't come from international organizations attempting to tackle the problem by setting up regulatory frameworks and working environments for ICT strategies and policies. Small groups of individuals and user communities sometimes are the ones that put forward the most ingenious applications and projects to effectively bridge the digital gap at the local level. Web2solidarité (www.web2solidarite.org) is one of the places this collective intelligence is expressed, making this platform an innovation accelerator, a source of inspiration for project developers, and a social network dedicated to new types of solidarity by and through digital means. This is a permanent space for monitoring, information, expression, meetings, exchanges, publication, and promotion of citizen initiatives that help meet the global challenge of a more inclusive Internet for everyone everywhere.
EL MODELO: explica con un ejemplo específico la forma en que la solución marca una diferencia mediante la utilización de medios y tecnología de la información.
Web2solidarité offers a configuration, beyond merely portal platforms or general purpose social networks like Facebook, conducive to effective collective action based on the catalytic effect of partnership in projects. Each network member can be part of online solidarity by financially supporting or intellectually participating in co-writing local community projects. The network harnesses both the informal expertise of ordinary citizens and of those who work in the field and the formal knowledge held by academics, analysts, and policy makers. Brainstorming sessions organized in thematic and geographic groups (by country) generally lead to concrete proposals for choices of technical solutions, methodological approaches, and contacts or referrals to appropriate micro-finance. All of these contribute to experiments like the wireless connectivity project on Goree Island in Senegal, and a project that set up digital pairing of students and teachers in schools in Lyon and Bamako for cultural and educational exchanges.
EL MERCADO: ¿quiénes son tus colaboradores o competidores? ¿Qué retos podrían presentar estos competidores para el éxito o desarrollo de tu iniciativa?
Many initiatives, such as GAID, GKP, Development Gateway, infoDev, Media Workshop, Telecentre.org, Médiaterre, and African'TI, provide ongoing information on issues and international programs to fight against the digital divide. The Web2solidarité network goes beyond the mere circulation of information by having Cyberplumes (network monitors and on-the-ground observers of the dissemination and citizen appropriation of ICT in the countries of the South) who can highlight the most innovative ICT uses in the field and analyze the different types of gaps. They also highlight digital solidarity initiatives that provide concrete answers to the needs of farmers, fishermen, artisans, women entrepreneurs and others.

HISTORIA DE FONDO: queremos conocer tu momento de inspiración. Comparte con nosotros la historia del lugar y el momento en que el fundador o los fundadores llegaron a la conclusión de que su solución podría cambiar el mundo.
I was working in a master's internship at the World Digital Solidarity Agency in April 2008 when I was entrusted with the mission to create a directory to identify and characterize the main players in the North and South involved in ICT4D (ICT for development) projects. This work was planned to later feed into a French language digital solidarity portal project. Starting to put together this directory, I had the thought, "Why not ride the wave of Web 2.0 and instead of developing a traditional online database, why not let those individuals and institutions register on a real platform (not a 1.0 portal) for social and professional networking exchange?" Thus the Web2solidarité project was born. It is quickly turning out to be a creative idea bringing together key digital solidarity players to share their experiences on a single platform.
Especifica tanto el alcance como la escala del impacto social de tu solución hasta la fecha.
About 2,000 unique visits per month from more than 150 countries, nearly 900 members, 373 blog posts, more than 30 thematic discussions, and twenty working groups. Web2solidarité has changed lives by helping project developers and network members find the right partners and funding sources to develop their ICT projects. The character of the information monitoring produces specialized information and careful analysis of contrasting developments in the information society. The skills and qualifications of network members produce a very high level of debate that can be substantially published in summary format as an annual white book. Such a document will be able to serve as a decision support tool for those involved in the public policy discussion on access and use of ICT.
¿Qué impacto esperas que tenga tu iniciativa en los próximos 1-5 años? ¿Es una idea aplicable a otros ámbitos? En caso afirmativo, ¿cómo se podría aplicar?
The impact envisaged for the development of web2solidarité is to double the annual number of network members every year, and to be able to increase tenfold in five years (to 10,000) the potential number of Internet solidarity loans to support 1,000 social micro-entrepreneurs leading digital projects in developing countries. A system of loan auction will enfranchise the most innovative project developers. They will benefit from on-the-job coaching through a "Digital Incub-Actor" fellowship program for six months. To create a virtuous circle of solidarity, the loan recipients will be required to themselves support new projects.

¿Qué obstáculos han dificultado el éxito de tu proyecto hasta la fecha? ¿Cómo tienes pensado superar estos y otros obstáculos al ir desarrollando tu solución?
The main obstacle so far encountered in running our project is the unequal participation on the web2solidarité.org, platform. 10% of the members actively participate while 80% are only spectators. To overcome this problem we will be offering incentive policies to encourage the participation of network members in activities. An example would be to set up a category of participant commentators, and reward the commentators who are the most active participants in supporting community projects.
¿Cómo valoras el cambio en los sectores de medios de comunicación y tecnología de la información en la próxima década? ¿Cómo se adaptará tu solución a este entorno cambiante? ¿Cómo podría impulsar tu solución esos cambios?
The future of ICT and social media will definitely focus on users and there will be a shift from ownership communities to creative communities. Our digital solidarity platform Web2solidarité.org, will operate much more on the principle of active reciprocity exchanges than on the principle of passive charity because Internet users from the South will bring much in terms of content and innovative uses for Internet users in North and vice versa.
El fracaso no es siempre una opción. Si tu solución no funciona en los dos próximos años, ¿qué otras aplicaciones de la idea podrías investigar?
If it becomes difficult over the next two years of project development to achieve our objectives and expected impact, we plan to deploy a sponsorship strategy by asking large foundations and the private sector to fund digital social innovation projects, in return for obtaining a label "Digital Solidarity Company (DSC)," which would promote the social responsibility of our sponsors.
Desarrolla la información proporcionada explicando la forma de mantenimiento de la financiación
The Web2solidarité project was previously funded almost exclusively by the World Digital Solidarity Agency. Membership in our platform is completely free for all members. But, as of now, we would intend to propose a fee schedule for membership for institutions and companies in exchange for promoting their ICT products and services on the network. We could also publish an electronic directory of key digital solidarity players that would provide fee-based access to full profile and contact information of the most influential members such as consultants and policy makers and to potential donors on the network.
Cuéntanos sobre tus alianzas.
We offer three types of partnership: a partnership for the production and editing of content and articles (targeting volunteers and journalist bloggers); a partnership for the promotion of network initiatives (targeting specialized information sites like InternetActu, collaborative participant platforms like Correspondants.org and citizen media 2.0 like Media Workshop); and finally a partnership to support community projects (targeting sponsors, international NGOs, and businesses).
¿Con qué clase de equipo (ej., personal laboral, voluntarios, etc.) tienes pensado alcanzar los objetivos de crecimiento identificados en la sección Impacto social?
We have just signed a partnership with France Volontaires to build a Digital Solidarity Volunteers Club that will contribute to organizing the network. In addition, we will recruit 50 volunteer Cyberplumes journalists or bloggers living primarily in Africa, Latin America, and Asia who will regularly publish articles and reports on the realities of the digital divide in developing countries.

Social innovation is often presented as a set of isolated micro-projects, so many concrete actions in a given territory in a limited time having a limited effect. We need human resources and practical ideas for ever innovative service, and a multi-player collaborative approach to generalize this kind of innovation by a scaling to a networking platform.

活動は、NPO団体の動画サイトを構築し、日本におけるNPO活動の社会への啓発と理解を促進する活動です。NPO団体の映像制作は、団体職員や市民、青少年に向けてのワークショップで作成を行い、NPOの中間支援組織にメディアセンター機能を担保します。日本では税制改革によってNPO等の公益団体への寄付行為がやっと促進されていますが、まだNPOの広報が少なく市民がNPO団体の活動を理解できない状況をこの事業によって周知できると考えています。また、青少年が映像制作を行うことで、社会性を身につける機会になります。日本でのNPO団体が世界のNPOと交流できる動画サイトとしても活躍出来ます。
LA SOLUCION: explica qué ofrece tu solución y por qué es innovadora. ¿Cómo se pondrá la solución a disposición de usuarios o beneficiarios? Se valorará la exactitud de la respuesta.
現在、NPO団体の専用動画サイトは日本には存在いたしません。動画による発信力と影響力によって、NPOが積極的に広報を行う環境を作ります。従来の動画サイトの構築には、膨大なコストがかかりましたが、オープンソースシステムを利用する事でコストを軽減でき、ASPの開発で動画検索方法やストレスない動画鑑賞システムを構築でき、簡便に動画をアップしたり、検索したりする事が可能になりました。ソーシャルメディアとの連携や全てのスマートフォンとの連動が出来ることで、メディアを有効活用した情報の供給が可能になりました。
EL MODELO: explica con un ejemplo específico la forma en que la solución marca una diferencia mediante la utilización de medios y tecnología de la información.
NPO動画サイトによって、NPO活動の周知とNPOへの寄付行為の促進につながり、日本における寄付文化の形成の一躍を担う事になります。日本では、NPOは活動を広報し人材を募集したり、資金を確保する事が現状では困難です。その問題の一つに広報方法が分からない事があげられます、新聞などの既存のメディアに取り上げられる事やホームページによる広報が主体となっています。この状況では、NPOが主体的に広報をし、活動を社会にアピールする事はでない状態です。この状況を変化させる為に、積極的な広報を行える“場”が必要であり、NPO職員の意識改善が必要です。その為に“伝える場”としての動画サイトを提供し、NPOと社会にNPO活動の啓発を行い、NPOの職員意識の変化を求める事業です。
EL MERCADO: ¿quiénes son tus colaboradores o competidores? ¿Qué retos podrían presentar estos competidores para el éxito o desarrollo de tu iniciativa?
提携先は株式会社 湘南コラボレーションパークサービス（システム開発）、藤沢市、大学等と連携してこのプロジェクトを推進させていきます。競争他社はYOUTUBEやニコニコ動画などの動画配信業者になります。こうした動画サイトは、多くの動画が集約されますが、NPOの動画専用にすることで専門性と先駆によって、NPOがより活用できる状況を作ります。

2009年にNPOの任意団体の世話人を任されたときに、テーマとして広報力をあげました。その時からNPOと動画の関係を考えるようになり、昨年にスタッフがオープンソースの動画配信システムを見つけた時に動画専用サイトの構想が生まれました。その後、藤沢市との連携で地域情報動画サイトを構築し、システムの問題を解決したこと、今年の6月に寄付の税制改革が行われてことから、NPOの広報の推進が費用になった事から専用動画サイトの構築を考えました。
Especifica tanto el alcance como la escala del impacto social de tu solución hasta la fecha.
日本で初めてのNPO専用動画サイトを構築し、運用する事は多くのNPO活動の支援システムになると考えます。多くのNPO団体が広報を推進することができ、市民への寄付行為が促進されることから、受益者はまず、神奈川のNPO団20000団体と県民500万人が受益者となります。
¿Qué impacto esperas que tenga tu iniciativa en los próximos 1-5 años? ¿Es una idea aplicable a otros ámbitos? En caso afirmativo, ¿cómo se podría aplicar?
動画サイトによって多くのNPO団体が寄付によって資金と人材を確保出来ることで、社会問題を市民自らが解決する市民意識が生まれ、日本におけるNPOの役割に変化が生まれます。さらに、コンテンツ制作にひきこもり等青少年を配し、雇用の促進につなげる事が出来ます。

El fracaso no es siempre una opción. Si tu solución no funciona en los dos próximos años, ¿qué otras aplicaciones de la idea podrías investigar?
もし、動画サイトが構築できなかった場合は、コンテンツ作成をベースにしたプロジェクトまず立ち上げ、現状の藤沢動画を主体に動画配信をしていき、寄付システムの構築を先に目指します。

FOUR YEARS GO is expanding from a non-profit program into a for-profit hybrid media company to address the dramatic interconnected global crises being faced by the human family at this time in history.
Escalating economic, social and environmental crises, point to the fact that our current way of living is unsustainable.
Millions of people are already moving toward new sustainable and equitable lifestyles, and sounding the alarm about global and local crises. However billions are not aware that we are living in a moment of “great transition” and that how they respond is critical to the outcome. Without a story that we can understand, and something we can do about it, we have no coherent way of making sense of the social, economic and environmental events we see happening, and we tend to respond with fear, denial and/or the apathy that comes from feeling powerless.
4YG Media will ensure that the “story” of this great transition reaches the masses in a way that enables them to respond effectively. We use media to illuminate heroic stories of transformation, inspire courageous and collaborative action that accelerates the positive tipping points.
LA SOLUCION: explica qué ofrece tu solución y por qué es innovadora. ¿Cómo se pondrá la solución a disposición de usuarios o beneficiarios? Se valorará la exactitud de la respuesta.
4YG emerges from The Pacahama Alliance with a senior team and important media assets developed by Weiden & Kennedy and communicated throughout the world by Lynne Twist and a team of FOUR YEARS. GO change agents.
4YG’s business is to maximize the value of assets contributed by The Pachamama Alliance by creating, incubating, accelerating and investing in impactful viable businesses that contribute directly to the fulfillment of its mission.

MyStand does for Campaigns what Zynga did for Games.
MyStand is a social media service that drives the FOUR YEARS.GO campaign to new levels by inviting millions of individuals to participate in growing and accelerating FOUR YEARS.GO. MyStand integrates effectively with all important social media sites (including Facebook and Twitter) and any email campaign service.
The fundamental elements of MyStand are designed to enable leaders of large networks to convene a powerful conversation about the critical moment in history and engage their network members in the FOUR YEARS. GO campaign.

The most important barriers is the lack of a culture of initiative and mobility among young people 'to do things and concrete initiatives in the field, and use of the Internet in the direction of positive change society and to rubbing around us through the Internet and the Arabic language, download the largest number of resources and articles and pamphlets to educate the role of volunteerism field to change the real and consider the Internet and networks for the social is a way to continue to achieve social mobility, is not the main means, consider the work field is the most effective way to create inspiration for young people and published online through various means, there is no mobility of community smallpox, and the most important.

lacuadra.org.mx espacio transmedia que genera comunidad en el DF
Selecciona la fase que describa mejor el momento en el que se encuentra tu emprendimiento
Idea (estás listo para lanzarla)
¿Cuánto tiempo se lleva poniendo en práctica tu iniciativa?
Sigue en fase conceptual, pero se espera que se lance pronto.
LA NECESIDAD: describe la necesidad de implementar tu solución y el tamaño y el dinamismo de la comunidad o las comunidades con las que vayas a colaborar
La zona Roma-Condesa ubicada en el corazón de la Ciudad de México, cuenta con 75,000 habitantes y diariamente 800,000 personas como población flotante, dado su composición socio-cultural representa una población de alto dinamismo que genera liderazgo de opinión.
A continuación se presentan las necesidades detectadas en la zona:
- Desarrollo de herramientas de empoderamiento ciudadadano que permitan un ejercicio real de la ciudadanía.
- Cambio hacia lo positivo de la relación entre el sector público, el privado y la sociedad civil en la escala local impulsando un principio de corresponsabilidad en los proyectos de transformación del entorno.
- Generación de un espacio transmedia de comunicación hiperlocal que genere acciones ciudadanas en el territorio
- Impulso de proyectos de fortalecimiento comunitario que incentiven la acción hiperlocal como mecanismo para ejercer ciudadanía.
LA SOLUCION: explica qué ofrece tu solución y por qué es innovadora. ¿Cómo se pondrá la solución a disposición de usuarios o beneficiarios? Se valorará la exactitud de la respuesta.
Proporcionar un espacio transmedia de comunicación hiperlocal que posibilite el ejercicio de acciones ciudadanas, revitalizará el sentido de comunidad, impulsará la recomposición del tejido social, fomentará la cultura ciudadana y promoverá los procesos de autogestión.
En www.lacuadra.org.mx se busca desarrollar aplicaciones y tecnologías web 2.0, que combinadas con un periódico impreso, funjan como herramientas para provocar una sociedad civil más participativa y más propositiva, y abrir canales de expresión y comunicación que generen comunidades más integradas.
Las herramientas desarrolladas permiten georefenciar y redireccionar las participaciones de los usuarios relacionadas con los servicios urbanos o delitos, generando índices de reporte y atención abiertos y transparentes.
Se contempla también un espacio para ofrecer servicios comunitarios que promueva la interrelación social y acerque a los usuarios entre sí para que encuentren soluciones a problemáticas comunes de la vida cotidiana.
La vinculación entre los actores económicos de la zona y la comunidad se fomenta a través de programas de responsabilidad social empresarial tendientes a mejorar el espacio público y la escena cultural, acompañados de programas de lealtad que representen beneficios a los ciudadanos en su papel de consumidores en los establecimientos que suscriban el ideario comunitario de La Cuadra.
EL MODELO: explica con un ejemplo específico la forma en que la solución marca una diferencia mediante la utilización de medios y tecnología de la información.
Ejemplo 1: Sistema de Reportes. Aplicación que permite al usuario registrado subir fotos, video y texto para generar reportes que se georeferencian, creando un sistema de estadísticas y de interconexión entre distintos usuarios. Asimismo, se envía a la autoridad encargada de atender esa problemática un correo para que esté enterada de la situación.
Ejemplo 2: Fábrica de Ideas. Aplicación que permite al usuario registrado subir proyectos relacionados con el fomento a la cultura y el medio ambiente, el impulso a la cultura ciudadana, la ejecución de ejercicios de movilidad, la creación de reportajes sobre temas de interés en la zona, etc. Los proyectos serán curados por un Consejo Editorial compuesto de especialistas en los diferentes temas. Una vez curado y publicado los usuarios podrán opinar sobre el proyecto, sumarse como voluntarios, aportar en efectivo o en especie. Además, estos proyectos podrán recibir aportes en numerario o en especie por parte de los establecimientos de la zona o de los diferentes sponsors (proveedores de los establecimientos de la zona), quienes obtendrán a cambio un reconocimiento como ‘Empresa Socialmente Responsable’ por parte de La Cuadra A.C. generando así un trade mark.
EL MERCADO: ¿quiénes son tus colaboradores o competidores? ¿Qué retos podrían presentar estos competidores para el éxito o desarrollo de tu iniciativa?
Esfuerzos separados implementan algunas acciones que esta iniciativa propone. La competencia se encuentra fragmentada en:
• Sitios de fondeo sin publicación impresa
• Periódicos sin WEB: su ámbito es toda la ciudad, no cuentan con aplicaciones transmedia
• WEB sin aplicaciones transmedia: su labor es meramente publicitaria en una zona definida, no integra herramientas de empoderamiento ciudadano, no cuenta con una publicación impresa.
Retos:
• Innovar nuestro sistema de información
• Producir actividades en el espacio público que generen recordación hacia esta iniciativa
• Generar mayor valor agregado a los planes de marketing para vincular un mayor número de participantes

HISTORIA DE FONDO: queremos conocer tu momento de inspiración. Comparte con nosotros la historia del lugar y el momento en que el fundador o los fundadores llegaron a la conclusión de que su solución podría cambiar el mundo.
Febrero 2010 / Avenida Michoacán. Saliendo de una reunión sobre uso de tecnologías y participación ciudadana, nace la idea: utilizar herramientas WEB2.0 en un proyecto de recomposición del tejido social.
Inicialmente se pensó lanzar un periódico hiperlocal como herramienta de fortalecimiento comunitario. Personalidades apasionadas con temas de transformación y participación ciudadana, sumaron su talento, obligando al poco tiempo a potenciar los objetivos y los alcances del proyecto. No sólo se querían difundir acciones de transformación de la zona sino se buscaba provocarlas, se tenía el deseo de participar activamente en una nueva forma de hacer ciudad por lo que la iniciativa no pudo limitarse a ser relator y se decidió convertir a la organización en el actor que impulsa una nueva forma de generar comunidad. Así se amplió el compromiso comunitario mediante la constitución de una A.C. cuyos ejes de trabajo son: portal WEB, periódico impreso hiperlocal y proyectos.
Especifica tanto el alcance como la escala del impacto social de tu solución hasta la fecha.
Alcance: Colaboración de más de 40 establecimientos mercantiles de la Zona Roma-Condesa que se han vinculado mediante cápsulas informativas del lugar con el punto de vista de responsabilidad social empresarial. Vinculación voluntaria de 50 especialistas nacionales e internacionales en temas de ciudad (movilidad, cultura, urbanismo, sustentabilidad, cultura ciudadana, etc.) para le generación de contenidos. Alianza con otras ONG de la zona que trabajan temas afines a provocar ciudad y generar comunidad.
Impacto social: 263 personas apoyan la iniciativa en Facebook y 97 en Twitter, simplemente habiendo publicado el objetivo de la organización, están a la espera de la publicación de la WEB. Contamos con 116 preregistros en la base de datos de la página www.lacuadra.org.mx.
¿Qué impacto esperas que tenga tu iniciativa en los próximos 1-5 años? ¿Es una idea aplicable a otros ámbitos? En caso afirmativo, ¿cómo se podría aplicar?
Ser el medio referente donde los ciudadanos de Roma-Condesa realicen reportes, busquen entretenimiento, compartan opiniones, fomenten la autogestión mediante herramientas de empoderamiento ciudadano, fondeen e impulsen proyectos sociales.
Crear una red ciudadana que promueva y potencie el mejoramiento de espacios públicos y la ejecución de proyectos conjuntos para apoyar la mejora de la convivencia, desde los distintos roles de los actores sociales de la zona (comercios, ONGs, habitantes y visitantes).
Ampliando y/o adaptando la metodología empleada, esta iniciativa si es aplicable a otras colonias, municipios, comunidades, grupos de personas comprometidos en mejorar la convivencia ciudadana a través de herramientas transmedia.

¿Cómo valoras el cambio en los sectores de medios de comunicación y tecnología de la información en la próxima década? ¿Cómo se adaptará tu solución a este entorno cambiante? ¿Cómo podría impulsar tu solución esos cambios?
1.-Como positivo. La naturaleza del proyecto descansa en proporcionar herramientas de comunicación y se cuenta con un equipo de desarrolladores de amplia experiencia.
2.-Con la capacitación constante del equipo y la innovación de las aplicaciones según las tecnologías de vanguardia.
3.-Es un proyecto transmedia, cuyo ámbito hiperlocal permite acción directa, e impulsa el cambio por la bidireccionalidad de información generada en tiempo real, permitiendo diseñar soluciones inmediatas para/con la comunidad.
El fracaso no es siempre una opción. Si tu solución no funciona en los dos próximos años, ¿qué otras aplicaciones de la idea podrías investigar?
Si el proyecto fracasa en su objetivo de inducir la participación ciudadana podría convertirse en un espacio de comunicación para la escena social y comercial de la zona, acercando a la comunidad con los actores económicos en círculos virtuosos de beneficios compartidos.

Crecimiento (tu iniciativa piloto ya se está aplicando y se empieza a expandir)
¿Cuánto tiempo se lleva poniendo en práctica tu iniciativa?
Operando entre 1-5 años
LA NECESIDAD: describe la necesidad de implementar tu solución y el tamaño y el dinamismo de la comunidad o las comunidades con las que vayas a colaborar
La percepción colectiva o individual de una comunidad está condicionada por la información que sus miembros reciben y por las estructuras mentales aprendidas a través de diversos canales de comunicación. suenaMéxico.com considera que la percepción de México pasa por un momento difícil debido, entre otros motivos, a la monotematización de la agenda-setting de los medios convencionales (narcotráfico, inmigración, violencia), y a la escasez de oportunidades de participación ciudadana en los procesos informativos.
Esto perjudica a la construcción de una identidad nacional completa y equilibrada, con potencial como motor del cambio social y económico que muchos colectivos están demandando dentro y fuera del país.
suenaMéxico.com se presenta como un medio de comunicación online alternativo, dirigido a miles de usuarios interesados en el acontecer cultural, social, artístico, medioambiental del país: mexicanos en México o en el extranjero, extranjeros viviendo en México, visitantes profesionales y turistas. Sólo en México, el 25% de la población tiene acceso a internet y el número de usuarios supera los 33 millones.
LA SOLUCION: explica qué ofrece tu solución y por qué es innovadora. ¿Cómo se pondrá la solución a disposición de usuarios o beneficiarios? Se valorará la exactitud de la respuesta.
suenaMéxico se presenta como un medio de comunicación online que ofrece a sus usuarios información sobre movimientos, proyectos y tendencias de raíces mexicanas que ayudan y promueven la comprensión de la profundidad y riqueza del país. A través de Internet y los nuevos medios permite generar, encontrar, contrastar, opinar y participar en la creación de una realidad de México que no tiene cabida en los medios de comunicación tradicionales. Se puede manetener el seguimiento de estos contenidos /la mayoría geoposicionados/ por vías de e-mail, rss y en Redes Sociales y Google News. Además, los usuarios pueden proponer contenidos al equipo editorial, ya sea enviando la información/fotografías/vídeos para su posterior edición y subida al porta publicación online o generando y administrando contenidos propios a través de su perfil en la plataforma y las herramientas de comunidad creadas expresamente para ello. Así el portal adquiere dimensiones de fuente de información alternativa, punto de encuentro, intercambio de opiniones y reunión y herramienta para la participación ciudadana en los flujos globales de información.
SuenaMéxico se ofrece también como un eficaz canal de difusion de las actividades y propuestas de organizaciones de la sociedad civil, ong’s y otras entidades sociales, educativas y culturales mexicanas. Todos los contenidos publicados en suenaMexico.com son liberados bajo una licencia de Creative Commons siguiendo la filosofía de intercambio de conocimiento e información del proyecto.
EL MODELO: explica con un ejemplo específico la forma en que la solución marca una diferencia mediante la utilización de medios y tecnología de la información.
Pese a que prácticamente todos los medios de comunicación ya cuentan con su versión online, son pocos los que saben aprovechar las oportunidades que ofrece Internet para obtener y analizar temas de periodismo ciudadano y dar voz a ac’s, ongs, artistas, etc sin cabida en otros medios el feedback de los usuarios. Como seguidor de los contenidos de suenaMéxico en las redes sociales un usuario puede opinar sobre una entrada publicada, ampliar información, añadir una nueva entrada, demandar información, comunicarse e intercambiar información y opiniones con el resto de los usuarios. Para una organización o un colectivo específico con presencia limitada en internet, escasos recursos para invertir en comunicación y necesidad de dar a conocer sus actividades suenaMéxico es una buen canal de distribución inmediata de infomación, con capacidad de alcance hasta X personas y un interesante potencial de creación de trabajo en red.
Además, en su fase 2, el proyecto contempla el desarrollo de un sistema de publicación directa de contenidos. Grupos de estudiantes en universidades, integrantes de asociaciones civiles y entidades sin ánimo de lucro y voluntarios podrían solicitar la creación de minisites asociados al site principal para distribuir y gestionar sus propios contenidos del tipo monterrey/suenamexico.com; colectivoX/suenamexico.com.
La distribución de contenidos bajo licencia Creative Commons encaja con el concepto de cultura libre facilitado por internet.
EL MERCADO: ¿quiénes son tus colaboradores o competidores? ¿Qué retos podrían presentar estos competidores para el éxito o desarrollo de tu iniciativa?
-noticias positivas: compartimos objetivos con algunos pocos medios y revistas offline, aunque ellos trabajan a nivel internacional y nuestro enfoque, al menos en la primera parte del proyecto, es nacional/regional/local.
No entendemos que ninguno de estos sites puedan ser competencia. Consideramos necesaria la colaboración entre suenaMéxico y cualquier iniciativa con similares objetivos, ya sea para compartir contenidos o dar a conocer el proyecto entre sus usuarios. Desde el nacimiento del proyecto suenaMéxico ha apostado por el trabajo en Red.

HISTORIA DE FONDO: queremos conocer tu momento de inspiración. Comparte con nosotros la historia del lugar y el momento en que el fundador o los fundadores llegaron a la conclusión de que su solución podría cambiar el mundo.
Un grupo de amigos de México, España y Venezuela viviendo en Madrid y Monterrey aprovechan sus reuniones informales para intercambiar opiniones y preocupaciones sobre la situación de México y la imagen negativa del país que llega a través de los medios de comunicación. Conocedores de México y los mexicanos, echan en falta iniciativas que sustenten una imagen más real y equilibrada del país. Desde el área de conocimiento que cada quien concentra, se preguntan de qué forma pueden contribuir a mejorar esta situación desde la distancia. El nacimiento del proyecto coincide con la pandemia de gripe A (H1N1) de 2009, que empeoró la imagen y economía de México, pues muchos turistas dejaron de visitar el país por miedo a contagios. Finalmente se acuerda montar un site de información alternativa llamado suenaMéxico y crear un lema para el proyecto: “lo que nos suena y no suena de México”. Este claim juega con los dos significados que tiene el verbo “sonar” para los mexicanos, gustar y oírse, de modo que lo que viene a expresar es que suenaMéxico ofrece aquella información que nos gusta pero que no se oye porque no se habla de ella en medios tradicionales.
Especifica tanto el alcance como la escala del impacto social de tu solución hasta la fecha.
Alrededor de 12 mil seguidores en Redes sociales de suenaMéxico, de las cuales el 50% son organismos como museos, instituciones culturales y artísticas, embajadas, instituciones medioambientales, de salud, Secretarías e instancias de Turismo, comisiones de derechos humanos, en favor de los indígenas, de Ciencia y Tecnología, gastronomía, etc. y el otro 50% son usuarios particulares ávidos de información positiva de México.
A día de hoy suenaMéxico.com con más de 900 publicaciones cuenta con alrededor de 640 mil páginas vistas y 400 mil visitas desde mayo 2009.
¿Qué impacto esperas que tenga tu iniciativa en los próximos 1-5 años? ¿Es una idea aplicable a otros ámbitos? En caso afirmativo, ¿cómo se podría aplicar?
Se replica como modelo de periodismo ciudadano en ámbitos de especialización (Arte y cultura, arquitectura, gastronomía, innovación social, sostenibilidad, medio ambiente, etc) y se replica en términos geográficos de nivel nacional a estatal – municipal y a nivel internacional con otros países, preservando el modelo de identidad cultural -de lo local a lo global-.
A nivel local y regional en México, grupos de usuarios y entidades de la sociedad civil, comunidades rurales con internet, etc con sinergias de apoyo para la creación de subsites y secciones asociadas al site principal. El modelo de inclusión editorial de suenaMéxico es replicable a Latinoamerica, ya se han tenido los primeros contactos con grupos de voluntarios para desarrollar suenaColombia.com y suenaChile.com.

¿Qué obstáculos han dificultado el éxito de tu proyecto hasta la fecha? ¿Cómo tienes pensado superar estos y otros obstáculos al ir desarrollando tu solución?
El principal obstáculo en la primera fase del proyecto ha sido conseguir recursos para la continuidad, el diseño y la programación del site contando únicamente con personal voluntario. Colaboradores desinteresados han apostado por suenaMéxico y dispuestos a seguir haciéndolo, pero necesitan ser financiados para dedicarle el tiempo completo. Para ello planeamos alianzas con la Universidad de Monterrey (y otras instancias Académicas), intensificar las labores de fundraising y realizar acciones de comunicación y marketing social y/o con causa. Se dará a conocer el proyecto a la academia, instituciones públicas, entidades no lucrativas, asociaciones profesionales y asociaciones civiles fuera y dentro de México con el fin de intensificar el trabajo en Red y crear nuevos grupos de colaboradores.
¿Cómo valoras el cambio en los sectores de medios de comunicación y tecnología de la información en la próxima década? ¿Cómo se adaptará tu solución a este entorno cambiante? ¿Cómo podría impulsar tu solución esos cambios?
SuenaMéxico seguirá usando los nuevos medios interactivos, Internet y las aplicaciones para dispositivos móviles como herramientas para el desarrollo y el cambio social. Con formación previa, los ciudadanos de países en vías de desarrollo pueden organizarse, compartir experiencias y conocimientos y participar en los cambios sociales de su país a través de Internet. SuenaMéxico potencializará la interacción y participación ciudadana a través del empoderamiento que brindan las nuevas tecnologías.
El fracaso no es siempre una opción. Si tu solución no funciona en los dos próximos años, ¿qué otras aplicaciones de la idea podrías investigar?
SuenaMéxico, como medio de comunicación online, ha concentrado el conocimiento necesario para favorecer la sociedad de la información y migrar a una sociedad basada en el conocimiento. La iniciativa podría convertirse en capacitación y desarrollo de plataformas editoriales (pequeños medios de comunicación) enfocándose en el know how que concentra el receptor.
Al contar con talento humano de diversos países de Iberoamérica, podemos transmitir y capacitar con una visión enriquecida en TICs para transmitir de lo local a lo global, de cómo generar redes de conocimiento, ser generadores de contenidos y entender la Red para el desarrollo.
Desarrolla la información proporcionada explicando la forma de mantenimiento de la financiación
Mediante piezas de marketing de contenidos, y marketing social. Mediante financiación pública y privada: subvenciones y concursos públicos, patrocinios y donaciones privadas, jornadas de capacitación con coste para intancias públicas, artísticas y de gestión cultural, empresas privadas interesadas en desarrollar acciones de RSC y voluntariado corporativo. En el caso de los subsitios gestionados por otras entidades, se contempla buscar patrocinio por cada red de conocimiento.
Asi mismo, aprovecharemos la oportunidad del ofrecimiento en adwords que YouTube México nos hace como AC sin fines de lucro, con el objetivo de que el ciudadano mismo, apoyado por el equipo editorial de suenaMexico produzca pequeños contenidos audiovisuales positivos y constructivos basados la cultura de México.
Cuéntanos sobre tus alianzas.
Una red de colaboradores fijos de 12 personas, además desde Monterrey se ha ido generando una Red de colaboración con entidades como: Museo MARCO CONABIO(Consejo Nacional p' el Conocimiento y Uso de la Biodiversidad). CONAFOR(Consejo Nacional Forestal). SEMARNAT (Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales). CONARTE (Consejo Nacional p' las Artes). Ferias del pueblo y Festivales Int. de Cine, Red de Turismo Indígena. CONACULTA. Embajada de México en Canadá. INAH (Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia). SECTUR (Secretarias de Turismo), etc
¿Con qué clase de equipo (ej., personal laboral, voluntarios, etc.) tienes pensado alcanzar los objetivos de crecimiento identificados en la sección Impacto social?
Aparte de unir al core del equipo y la red de periodistas ciudadanos, precisamos un staff fijo de equipo audiovisual, diseñadores web, programadores, coordinador de contenidos y redes sociales, captador de fondos , responsable de comunicación institucional y relación con medios, desarrollo de apps para Móvil y Social Media.
Además, se requiere a una persona encargada de los voluntarios que apoyarán la comunicación por cada comunidad rural o ciudadana con la que se tenga presencia para fines de capacitación y traslado de los contenidos.

Uno de los puntos fuertes del proyecto es el know how y la filosofía compartida del equipo de fundadores y colaboradores asiduos de suenaMéxico en las areas comunicación, marketing, gestión de proyectos sociales, artísticos y culturales, programación, diseño y desarrollo web. Creemos que Internet ayuda a reinventar las dinámicas sociales y que el desarrollo se genera compartiendo la información, nuestra experiencia profesional y nuestros proyectos. (ver http://suenamexico.com/quienes-somosabout-us/)
Por ser suenaMéxico una iniciativa innovadora, social y ciudadana, nuestra principal dificultad es la captación de los fondos que nos permitirían mantener una infraestructura mínima y requerimientos técnicos del proyecto.

La primera organización que difunde y conecta cambios positivos en Colombia
Selecciona la fase que describa mejor el momento en el que se encuentra tu emprendimiento
Expansión (el siguiente paso será crear un impacto a escala regional o incluso mundial)
¿Cuánto tiempo se lleva poniendo en práctica tu iniciativa?
Operando más de 5 años
LA NECESIDAD: describe la necesidad de implementar tu solución y el tamaño y el dinamismo de la comunidad o las comunidades con las que vayas a colaborar
Colombia tiene una historia fantástica pero, lastimosamente, la que se conoce es asociada con la violencia y el narcotráfico. Nosotros nos dimos cuenta que en esa foto, en la foto que siempre se cuenta de Colombia, no aparecían en el radar aquellos que gestan procesos de transformación positivos en mi país. En Colombia abundan los líderes que han decido cambiar la situación de nuestro país.
Hay "demasiados" colombianos adelantando actividades sociales aquí y en otros países del mundo, que no gozan del reconocimiento que se debe. "Con esos buenos elementos hay que trabajar".
LA SOLUCION: explica qué ofrece tu solución y por qué es innovadora. ¿Cómo se pondrá la solución a disposición de usuarios o beneficiarios? Se valorará la exactitud de la respuesta.
Cuando se visibiliza algo, se genera inspiración, la inspiración se convierte en conexiones, y esas conexiones deben verse reflejadas en el apoyo a las causas.
Decidimos que había que darlos a conocer y después apoyarlos. Es divulgar para apoyar, apoyar para conectar y conectar para apalancar la transformación que deseamos en Colombia.
EL MODELO: explica con un ejemplo específico la forma en que la solución marca una diferencia mediante la utilización de medios y tecnología de la información.
Hemos desarrollado un modelo de trabajo llamado VICA. Es un modelo donde buscamos hacer visible procesos y proyectos que se gestan en Colombia, que merecen ser fuentes de inspiración y modelos para apoyar.
Buscamos, a través de nuestro modelo, incubar proyectos de emprendimiento social en Colombia. Damos visibilidad, asesoramos proyectos, conectamos a los líderes con quienes los pueden apalancar.
Nuestro modelo es a través de asesorías y proyectos específicos donde abrimos nuestra plataforma para poblaciones especificas que desean hacer visibles sus proyectos. A pesar de ser fundación, nunca hemos recibido ninguna donación, todos han sido proyectos. Por medio de internet y las redes sociales, esta iniciativa ha funcionado como incubadora de emprendimiento social, logrando divulgar más de ocho mil proyectos con impacto social, y nueve que han tenido impacto en comunidades.
EL MERCADO: ¿quiénes son tus colaboradores o competidores? ¿Qué retos podrían presentar estos competidores para el éxito o desarrollo de tu iniciativa?
Por los resultados que hemos tenido, por la cantidad de voluntarios que nos apoyan, por nuestros aliados internacionales y, sobre todo, por nuestra forma de ver a Colombia. Creemos que cuando se cambian mentes y se tocan corazones, se siente que se ha transformado algo. Eso sentimos en Buena Nota. Hemos tocado vidas a través de mirar y buscar la transformación social desde un punto de vista integral.

HISTORIA DE FONDO: queremos conocer tu momento de inspiración. Comparte con nosotros la historia del lugar y el momento en que el fundador o los fundadores llegaron a la conclusión de que su solución podría cambiar el mundo.
La idea nació caminando por Chapinero, una localidad de Bogotá, la víspera de un examen de cotabilidad. Aquellos jóvenes, entonces estudiantes de Administración, decidieron crear un espacio para destacar cambios positivos en Colombia, para servir de puente a iniciativias que necesitan voz y asesoría para construir redes sociales, crear proyectos sociales sostenibles y convertirse en generadores del cambio.
Especifica tanto el alcance como la escala del impacto social de tu solución hasta la fecha.
Desde el 2006, hemos apoyado 17 proyectos, divulgado más de 15.000 cambios positivos y más de 10.000 seguidores en twitter.
¿Qué impacto esperas que tenga tu iniciativa en los próximos 1-5 años? ¿Es una idea aplicable a otros ámbitos? En caso afirmativo, ¿cómo se podría aplicar?
El impacto será de la misma forma pero en gran escala con nuestras herramientas: Visualizar, inspirar, conectar y apoyar.
Las mejores iniciativas presentan un plan sólido para su crecimiento. Identifica tu indicador a seis meses para incrementar tu impacto.

Selecciona la fase que describa mejor el momento en el que se encuentra tu emprendimiento
Consolidación (disfrutas de un éxito demostrado)

LA NECESIDAD: describe la necesidad de implementar tu solución y el tamaño y el dinamismo de la comunidad o las comunidades con las que vayas a colaborar
Es el único medio impreso dirigido a una sociedad multicultural con contenidos de información útil tanto para personas locales como inmigrantes. Como nuestro objetivo es el acercamiento y la mediación entre las culturas que se mezclan en el mundo globalizado en el cual vivimos hoy, el mercado se nos abre a nivel mundial. Todavía existe mucha tensión en la mayoría de los sitios donde se mezclan culturas. Con nuestro proyecto que incluye el medio impreso, una estación de radio online, la página web y las charlas que estamos preparando, pretendemos aliviar la tensión, acercar a la gente y activar la comprensión entre las diferentes comunidades.
Además, nos hemos propuesto difundir acciones de Responsabilidad Social Corporativa con la finalidad de acercar el mundo empresarial a las comunidades.
LA SOLUCION: explica qué ofrece tu solución y por qué es innovadora. ¿Cómo se pondrá la solución a disposición de usuarios o beneficiarios? Se valorará la exactitud de la respuesta.
La solución que ofrecemos es, informar y educar sobre temas que pueden conducir a cambios en la manera de pensar con el fin de favorecer una convivencia pacífica entre toda clase de personas. En nuestro medio impreso ofrecemos contenido cultural, artístico y social con un enfoque motivacional tratando temas que se mantienen vigentes en cualquier parte del mundo. Nuestra emisora de radio mantiene el mismo enfoque, emitiendo música internacional y promoviendo talentos nuevos, procedentes de todo el mundo. La página web complementa la información y los contenidos del medio impreso, y además trata noticias actuales de temas sociales. El único medio que presenta una limitación física es el medio impreso, aunque también se puede consultar a través de la página web en formato digital. Los otros dos medios son accesibles a través de internet.
Debido a la situación del desempleo y la crisis económica, TEGI fortalece su objetivo de promover acciones que contribuyen a fomentar el autoempleo. Esta motivación ha generado un nuevo proyecto: impartir un programa de charlas sobre Emprendedurismo Social, como respuesta a inquietudes de personas que nos contactan en búsqueda de motivación y soluciones prácticas.
EL MODELO: explica con un ejemplo específico la forma en que la solución marca una diferencia mediante la utilización de medios y tecnología de la información.
A través de las redes sociales, una mujer emprendedora residenciada en Houston, EEUU contactó a TEGI para conocer más sobre esta iniciativa, convirtiéndose en una colaboradora a distancia, escribiendo la sección “Coaching para la vida”. Recientemente, ella mostró interés en implementar la iniciativa TEGI en Houston, Texas, con la finalidad de proyectarse profesionalmente en el campo de la labor social, y que a la vez, le permita hacer un medio digno de vida. Como la mayoría del contenido, antes descrito, tiene una autenticidad internacional la adaptación de las secciones con información específica es absolutamente viable.
Aunque existe una gran distancia física entre TEGi en España y TEGI en Texas, EEUU, las tecnologías nos permiten trabajar en conjunto en Pro del mismo fin, con una coordinación fácil y eficiente. De igual manera hemos recibido solicitudes de diferentes personas desde Canadá y Venezuela, pero hasta el momento no se ha concretado de la manera como se está trabajando con esta joven emprendedora.
EL MERCADO: ¿quiénes son tus colaboradores o competidores? ¿Qué retos podrían presentar estos competidores para el éxito o desarrollo de tu iniciativa?
Colaboradores: patrocinan la iniciativa, difundimos sus programas de RSC y aportan al presupuesto general (Ejemplo: Grupo Pikolinos, Tempe, Universidad de Alicante, Universidad Europea de Madrid, Starbucks etc.) Además contamos con colaboradores voluntarios, asociaciones, concejalías de ayuntamientos, estudiantes en prácticas. Recibimos Guiatura en el área de formación y asesoría de Universidad Europea de Madrid.
Competidores: en nuestro análisis de la competencia en el mercado que hemos estudiado, (en el ámbito donde distribuimos el medio impreso) no hemos identificado un competidor directo, por cuanto los otros medios de comunicación que existen, solamente desarrollan información bilateral entre país de origen y España.

HISTORIA DE FONDO: queremos conocer tu momento de inspiración. Comparte con nosotros la historia del lugar y el momento en que el fundador o los fundadores llegaron a la conclusión de que su solución podría cambiar el mundo.
A finales del año 2008 me encontré en una situación de desempleo. Buscando empleo pasé unos momentos indignantes de racismo contra mi persona por ser Latinoamericano. Vi que no era la única persona en esta situación y que mucha gente lo pasaba aún peor. Me encontré con gente procedente de África, Latinoamérica, Rumania, Rusia etc., y me di cuenta que les faltaba conocer hasta la información más básica para poder integrarse en la sociedad española. Fue entonces cuando decidí crear una guía gratuita para brindar información, animo y apoyo a todas estas y muchas otras personas. Con el tiempo “La Guía del Inmigrante” ha evolucionado con un nuevo identificativo: “TEGI”, ampliando sus contenidos dirigidos a toda clase de personas, facilitando y promoviendo el entendimiento y la tolerancia entre estos los autóctonos y los inmigrante, y desarrollando un periodismo social.
Especifica tanto el alcance como la escala del impacto social de tu solución hasta la fecha.
El alcance del medio impreso a nivel de beneficiarios directos es de 10.000 personas. Y estimamos como beneficiarios indirectos un total de 15.000 personas. En formato digital, las estadísticas de Google, nos indican que a través de nuestra página web estamos siendo leídos en más de 75 países con más de 37 mil visitas. El impacto social queda demostrado con la determinación de otras personas, a emprender sus propias iniciativas, gracias a la motivación que encuentran en los contenidos de la revista y en la página web. En los diferentes eventos que organizamos durante el año, con la asociación y en los eventos ajenos donde participamos, TEGI siempre invita a todas las comunidades con las cuales tiene contacto a participar (Senegaleses, Rumanos, Argentinos, Rusos, etc.) Todos los eventos se convierten en encuentros internacionales dónde se mezcla gente que bajo otra circunstancia no se conocieran. Se hacen amistades y se desmitifican estereotipos.
¿Qué impacto esperas que tenga tu iniciativa en los próximos 1-5 años? ¿Es una idea aplicable a otros ámbitos? En caso afirmativo, ¿cómo se podría aplicar?
Crecimiento sostenido. Expandir la iniciativa a toda España y otros países.
La idea es fácilmente adaptable a cualquier comunidad, ciudad o país debido a sus contenidos motivadores que se pueden adaptar al sitio. La fundamentación del proyecto inicial, los análisis de la competencia, el cuadro DAFO, en fin, el Plan de Negocio es completamente factible y ejecutable, sólo se requiere encontrar “changemakers” que vean en esta iniciativa un desarrollo profesional a la vez de hacer un medio digno de vida.
Las mejores iniciativas presentan un plan sólido para su crecimiento. Identifica tu indicador a seis meses para incrementar tu impacto.

¿Qué obstáculos han dificultado el éxito de tu proyecto hasta la fecha? ¿Cómo tienes pensado superar estos y otros obstáculos al ir desarrollando tu solución?
El obstáculo más grande que hemos enfrentado hasta el momento ha sido la financiación. Con la obtención de premios y reconocimientos el proyecto ha construido credibilidad y nos ha permitido captar nuevos patrocinadores, clientes y sensibilizar instituciones españolas. Estamos desarrollando planes de captación de nuevos clientes ofreciendo nuestros 3 medios de comunicación: impresos, página web y emisora de radio online a agencias de publicidades, empresas privadas e instituciones públicas. Las redes sociales han contribuido en gran manera para darnos a conocer. Hasta la fecha, no hemos obtenido los recursos financieros para dar sostenibilidad financiera al proyecto.
¿Cómo valoras el cambio en los sectores de medios de comunicación y tecnología de la información en la próxima década? ¿Cómo se adaptará tu solución a este entorno cambiante? ¿Cómo podría impulsar tu solución esos cambios?
La información es ahora simultánea, e inmediata debido a la globalización. Nos impone retos y ventajas. Un reto es destacar entre tantos medios de comunicación existentes. Una ventaja es que se puede difundir la información a bajo costos y llegar a un infinito número de personas. La adaptación conlleva flexibilidad e innovación continua para destacar entre la gran masa. Hasta ahora lo hemos ido logrando.
El fracaso no es siempre una opción. Si tu solución no funciona en los dos próximos años, ¿qué otras aplicaciones de la idea podrías investigar?
Si no funcionara la revista, la radio online, la página web, o el programa de charlas, primero analizaríamos por qué fracasaron y en consecuencia, tomaríamos una decisión. Hasta ahora TEGI ha tenido gran aceptación. Estamos en análisis constante, mejorando y actualizando nuestra oferta de servicio. Por está razón creo que, justamente, el fracaso no es una opción ya que tomamos nuestras previsiones y nos adaptamos a los cambios.
Desarrolla la información proporcionada explicando la forma de mantenimiento de la financiación
Para desarrollar este proyecto, se creo un presupuesto general, el cual se pretende cumplir a través de los ingresos potenciales de: Patrocinios (empresas privadas) y venta de publicidad responsable a clientes (RSC), solicitud de subvenciones a instituciones y fundaciones. Además, como un proyecto complementario, se ha diseñado un programa de Charlas sobre el tema de Emprendedores Sociales que se pretende promover a nivel de Universidades, solicitando colaboraciones solidarias. Proporcionalmente, las charlas tienen una inversión inicial, pero una vez cubierto la misma, los ingresos superan los costos, por lo que los ingresos extras se dirigirán al presupuesto general.

whatchado offers youth/individuals wishing to spot careers or change their profession a realistic entry point into the working world by providing an accessible information portal. Video interviews of individuals in professions will be presented online, in a youth-friendly format, containing authentic content
Employed people deliver an insight into a normal day at work as well as their backround and let you know if having their backround is crucial for their profession or not. They talk about pros and cons of their profession and give their 14 year old alter ego three pieces of advice for life
LA SOLUCION: explica qué ofrece tu solución y por qué es innovadora. ¿Cómo se pondrá la solución a disposición de usuarios o beneficiarios? Se valorará la exactitud de la respuesta.
Youth and individuals often have a hard time spotting careers. Most know very little about job profiles. The professional working world offers a variety of opportunities, which individuals who are at the beginning of their education or career development know very little about. whatchado is providing this information. Not only is the proper guidance missing, but also the confidence needed to know that the right job — one which they would enjoy — is out there.
whatchado provides information about jobs and also implements an Interest-Matching-System, to let youth and individuals spot careers which they might have never been aware of.
We are developing a mobile app to give each and every user the possibility to participate actively in the process. Moreover we are developing an OS-independent Editig-Software to guarantee an easy access to our tools. The Interest Matching System as well as the digital career path will guarantee to match the interest of users with other users. New job profiles will be discovered and the community can exchange experience and contacts.
EL MODELO: explica con un ejemplo específico la forma en que la solución marca una diferencia mediante la utilización de medios y tecnología de la información.
You have a hard time spotting careers of job profiles in general. You are lost in descriptions about job profiles. We offer the easiest access. Watch interviews with professionals who talk about their daily tasks at work, their background and give advices. Have a clear picture and get more than just an idea about the jobs which are interesting for you. Take a tour through our Interest matching system and discover new job profiles you would not have thought of, just by matching your interest with other professionals. Career paths will show you what you can do with your background, education and experience you have. You wonder if you could work in the creative industry although you have a degree in industrial engineering. We show you people who have exactly your background and work in the creative industry. Get in touch with them and get direct help and advice. whatchado.net offers all these tools and options. Its up to you to take this chance. Technology and media offers the best possibility to reach your goals by defining your interest.
EL MERCADO: ¿quiénes son tus colaboradores o competidores? ¿Qué retos podrían presentar estos competidores para el éxito o desarrollo de tu iniciativa?
At the moment whatchado.net has no listed competitors. The idea of founding such a platform is almost unique. Our goal is to provide information about jobs and careers. At the closest you could name the job market service which is providing information about job opportunities and also job profiles. But we provide this information via video-interviews.

HISTORIA DE FONDO: queremos conocer tu momento de inspiración. Comparte con nosotros la historia del lugar y el momento en que el fundador o los fundadores llegaron a la conclusión de que su solución podría cambiar el mundo.
As I went together with my partner to a career day for students we realized that instead of getting information about the job opportunities at companies as well as about job profiles, we were given promotion material (pens, legal pads, flyer and folders). No representative could tell us more about job profiles at their companies. Almost everybody told us to visit their company homepage and send an inquiry to the HR department. We figured out that almost no visitor was informed properly about career chances and jobs. Whoever left the career day was carrying 2 bags of promotion material but had no extra information. They were even more confused than before. So we decided to find a solution and founded whatchado.net
Especifica tanto el alcance como la escala del impacto social de tu solución hasta la fecha.
whatchado presents not only professionals at work but also a concept of modern curriculum vitae. whatchado's concept is to cover all jobs and job profiles in the near future. With our interest matching system we can ensure that user will find video-interviews of people with similar interest. People who are confused or have no idea what to do, can match their interest with professionals to get more information about jobs they haven't been aware of. We try to widen the perspective of people.
¿Qué impacto esperas que tenga tu iniciativa en los próximos 1-5 años? ¿Es una idea aplicable a otros ámbitos? En caso afirmativo, ¿cómo se podría aplicar?
whatchado has a similar concept as wikipedia. We create a platform for user participation. Our aim is to encourage the community to share their experiences and knowledge with the world. Every user will have a free access to our platform and can use our tools (mobile app, os-independent editing-software) for free to help expanding whatchado. Our goal is to cover all jobs and career paths worldwide to be kind of a role model for youth, young adult but also adults who are willing to see what the working market offers besides their "old fashion" job and routine. Our idea and concept is replicable but we prefer to use the term "expandable". The focus is on the active participation of the community. Because we all have to take responsibility for the world we live in.

¿Qué obstáculos han dificultado el éxito de tu proyecto hasta la fecha? ¿Cómo tienes pensado superar estos y otros obstáculos al ir desarrollando tu solución?
So far we can not point out any barriers having hindered our success. Although our concept is based on cashflow to be able to run the project longterm. The main challenge is to reach out to users and inform them about our idea. Therefore we started co-operations we schools, universities, youth organisations, the government and other internet platforms. Together we can create an effective change and help users being informed properly about jobs. With a better understanding people can avoid starting a career which might not fit them.
¿Cómo valoras el cambio en los sectores de medios de comunicación y tecnología de la información en la próxima década? ¿Cómo se adaptará tu solución a este entorno cambiante? ¿Cómo podría impulsar tu solución esos cambios?
We are using Social Media platforms to reach users directly. But moreover we are developing mobile apps to let the community participate actively and conduct interviews and upload it on our server. An OS-independent editing-software will guarantee an easy and free access, not being worried about what system people are using. whatchado will make the entry to job market easier by providing realistic and authentic information about jobs. No maze, no labyrinth.
El fracaso no es siempre una opción. Si tu solución no funciona en los dos próximos años, ¿qué otras aplicaciones de la idea podrías investigar?
Desarrolla la información proporcionada explicando la forma de mantenimiento de la financiación
Business pages: whatchado offers businesses a channel to present their employees. The companies' biggest asset are their employees, according to CEO's. Employer branding is the key term. Companies pay to be online on whatchado.net. We are not an adversing platform, we dont evaluate companies. But we show users careers of people working for all kind of companies. This way we show a diversity of jobs at companies and create a more authentic picture of job profiles.

Empowering Indian School System Transformation
Selecciona la fase que describa mejor el momento en el que se encuentra tu emprendimiento
Idea (estás listo para lanzarla)
¿Cuánto tiempo se lleva poniendo en práctica tu iniciativa?
Sigue en fase conceptual, pero se espera que se lance pronto.
LA NECESIDAD: describe la necesidad de implementar tu solución y el tamaño y el dinamismo de la comunidad o las comunidades con las que vayas a colaborar
The seed of this idea is in the following pain points:
1)Non Universalization of quality learning in Schools from K to 12 & holistic child welfare. Eight divides to be bridged : Boy/Girl, Urban/Rural, Rich/Poor, Able/Disabled, Caste Divide, Bright/Slow Learner, Enrolment-Attendance-Retention, Rote /Quality Learning
2)Poor worst sufferer .Voices not heard. Collective disappointment with hopes dashed and aspirations belied perpetuating poverty, inequity and unrest.
3)Underutilization of available financial & other resources, human capital and the resultant demographic dividend leading to a low human development index of 139 out of 169.
A sustainable pilot model SMART solution is scalable throughout India & also other developing countries of the world. Apart from school education it may be suitably adapted for other social services also.
LA SOLUCION: explica qué ofrece tu solución y por qué es innovadora. ¿Cómo se pondrá la solución a disposición de usuarios o beneficiarios? Se valorará la exactitud de la respuesta.
SMART offers a user friendly state of the art integrated ICT ( Information, Communication & Technology) media platform of the most important numbers and measures empowering the seamless delivery of education, health & nutrition and all round child development, by channelizing efforts from Govt., community and corporate sectors with last mile connectivity. Fundamentally it shall provide Action Plans based on the exact gaps between the availability and standard requirements in both quantum and quality on the main four focus areas of School Infrastructure, Academics(Teaching/Learning),Health / Nutrition and Administration/ Finance for the right action at the right place and right time along with its tracking for impact. It shall educate & usefully inform all the multiple stakeholders like Govt- Central +State+ Local, Civil Society- Voluntary NGOs, Ashrams, Trusts, private foundations, charities and Personal Social Responsibility(PSR), Corporate CSRs, Public-Private Partnerships(PPP), Private School Industry and International Agencies including children’s parents, teachers and high school students themselves. Networking for holistic child welfare. It’s a bottom up empowering approach with ownership starting at the local level.
Its innovation lies in the fact that it is just an intuition; common sense creativity, simple logic, conviction, entrepreneurship, networking & perhaps spirituality based on the Foundation of Truth,Team,Trust,Transparency,Translating,Tracking and Transformation.
EL MODELO: explica con un ejemplo específico la forma en que la solución marca una diferencia mediante la utilización de medios y tecnología de la información.
Technology is the backbone of SMART to convert authentic Data into useful information and information into knowledge for decision ready insights. Real time online dynamic ICT platform of Integrated Information Infrastructure for Effective & Efficient delivery of Education (III 4 EEE) to every child from 0 to 18 years. Concept built on the cornerstone of cause & effect relationship. The product features and benefits are (1) A school ,habitation ,village, town ,city ,State and Nation-wise helpful & practical action plan at the click of a mouse serving the triple purposes of first the focused planning, then the transparent implementation with an evaluation mechanism for corrective action and lastly promotion of an active contribution of wide array of public, private and civic agencies. Synergizing of all child welfare plans of the Govt, Corporate & Civil Society with credible collaborations (2) Development paradigms relevant to the field realities & appropriate for beneficial delivery-- World class execution Vs Plans only. (3 ) Quantitative & Qualitative recommendations,(4)Pilot Driven-Scalable to national level , sustainable & acceptable ,(5)Futuristic ICT for real-time interactivity, advanced productivity and an effective bang for the bucks(ROI),(6) Judicious deployment of all the existing/available and filling up the deficits if any. Standardization for impact measurement with a culture of accountability,(7)Repository of knowledge of all the national & international best practices ,role models& research from diverse stakeholders for holistic child welfare
EL MERCADO: ¿quiénes son tus colaboradores o competidores? ¿Qué retos podrían presentar estos competidores para el éxito o desarrollo de tu iniciativa?
There is a total lack of a single source, correct, complete, comprehensive and consolidated reliable information -knowledge bank for focussed planning and execution with result oriented outcomes. The available facts and figures are fragmented, overlapping, duplicated, static- stale and thus incomplete, outdated & non dependable with the human dialogue missing between stakeholders. There may not be any other alternative proactive champion of change so far. But there can be reactions & intellectual debates only to divert the genuineness of the big purpose. Thus the challenge is an opportunity for the discovery. Improved public schooling system will increase competition trying for some level playing field offering options and choices at a competitive cost to the consumer. Quality school education made accessible & affordable for the aspiring poor and middle class.

HISTORIA DE FONDO: queremos conocer tu momento de inspiración. Comparte con nosotros la historia del lugar y el momento en que el fundador o los fundadores llegaron a la conclusión de que su solución podría cambiar el mundo.
It was during my decade long association with a large not for profit organisation deeply involved with school education.It was discovered that there are multiple criss-crossing schemes ,rules & good plans but with vertical silos of various departments for the problem still to persists as far as the govt is concerned. At the Private Foundations & charities level even at the end of 10 years of working for schools they have no evidence of the impact made quantitatively and also qualitatively on the children- the target beneficiary in spite of huge resources spent & available. It may be just running about the bush, changing the track & the gear every time and reinventing the wheel. The missing ingredient is the lack of the proper raw material in the form of authentic facts & figures and the other material intelligence/information for result oriented product outcomes. I could clearly see the vacuum in the space based on the ringside view of the ground realities, school education system and the knowledge insights gained. The passion for the welfare of every child propelled this SMART idea of a specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound solution.
Especifica tanto el alcance como la escala del impacto social de tu solución hasta la fecha.
(1)An effective & efficient delivery package for all child welfare plans & efforts. Better governance mechanism removing gaps in management, outcomes, competence, leadership,support system & utilization of public-private funds with transparency, accountability & motivation(2)Systemic Reforms Catalyst for the national school system.Evidence based reforms agenda in public policy proving the value of all child welfare schemes to the common man.(3)Integration & Convergence of all stakeholders, resources and schemes. Govt + Corporate + Civil Society. Political Muscle, Vibrant CSR of buoyant Industry, Active Social Capital of catalytic civil society and not for profits will establish the goodwill, legitimacy & credibility expected of CSOs(4)A common agenda with an inclusive index by aggregation & agreements. Widening the circle of caring & doing good as we are all connected in grand web of life. Good teacher is always remembered for useful services and activity.(5)Leveraging of our “Soft Power” to ‘Just Do it’. Opportune time with a strong public desire for a CHANGE. Politicians have realised that good politics is people’s opinion for good governance thru tangible development.

An Anchor Support in all respects at this opportune take off time will strengthen all the efforts to bring the required speed, interest and actual actions with definite milestones. An active engagement as the first investor will gain the much needed confidence of all the stakeholders enhancing mutual collaborations essential to the success of any social program. The idea based on the grass root experience & domain knowledge needs a firm & stable backing of valuable resources.
¿Cómo valoras el cambio en los sectores de medios de comunicación y tecnología de la información en la próxima década? ¿Cómo se adaptará tu solución a este entorno cambiante? ¿Cómo podría impulsar tu solución esos cambios?
The solution is based on the Power of ICT as a Change Agent Mechanism. E Governance is the answer for the complicated & complex diversity of the social issues in India. Besides the numbers and mass volumes are mind boggling which only technology can handle in a user friendly, efficiently transparent, cost effective way & compatible to all mobile and internet devices
El fracaso no es siempre una opción. Si tu solución no funciona en los dos próximos años, ¿qué otras aplicaciones de la idea podrías investigar?
The concept has the potential of application in all other areas of social welfare than only in education/child welfare. Many new features and services can be added with ongoing constant innovation and research. More & more people at the personal as well as business level aspire/desire to give back to society (It is a natural human instinct) provided there is some reliable arrangement.
Desarrolla la información proporcionada explicando la forma de mantenimiento de la financiación
The pilot has to start as a not for profit social enterprise supported by Ashoka and similar organisations to establish its utility with user acceptance. Subsequently a broad based self sustaining revenue model along with a mix of funding from social funders, venture capitalists will be followed for this one stop shop for child welfare. Regular income can be from the periodic licence fee from all users-Govt ,Pvt & other. Onetime fee for ad-hoc users. Empanelment charge for registration of all Civil Society Organisations/CSRs. Advertisements from various types of service providers.

1)Unique Identification Authority of India for childrens Aadhaar Database.
2)All other relevant Govt ministries & depts.(3) Third party reputed vendors with a good brand value for Data independence & objectivity(4) Corporate CSRs, Private Foundations & Charities.
The recent Anti Corruption Movement in India augers well for this idea to bring in the required transparency, accountability and motivation for the public good. We all care for our country but for a creditworthy direction.

PAPER.COM : Creating a Global Virtual Resource - Paying You To Become an Informant
Selecciona la fase que describa mejor el momento en el que se encuentra tu emprendimiento
Idea (estás listo para lanzarla)
¿Cuánto tiempo se lleva poniendo en práctica tu iniciativa?
Sigue en fase conceptual, pero se espera que se lance pronto.
LA NECESIDAD: describe la necesidad de implementar tu solución y el tamaño y el dinamismo de la comunidad o las comunidades con las que vayas a colaborar
PAPER.COM is an idea born out of the need for information by young people everywhere in the world. My research made it clear that young people everywhere are desperately in need of something that will AID their strong desire to achieve the GOOD LIFE status. Young people everywhere want to Learn and also desire to Earn and they never stop to YEARN.
Leaning,earning and yearning became a big problem for young people all over the world and ways to solve this is been sourced for on a daily basis via differs way. To the extent of some going the crooked way to achieve their aims and make a mark.
After thorough research over time, i have come to realize that INFORMATION is what everybody needs to move from one phase of life to another.The level of information we are open to determines how far we go in life and the kind of information we are expose to determines the kind of impact we will create in the world.
Schooling only get us literate, the adequate information needed to achieve the good life status is never disclose in school. So students ends up dropping out of school why some don't even make attempt of going as they know their expectations will be less met. Here the NEED begin
LA SOLUCION: explica qué ofrece tu solución y por qué es innovadora. ¿Cómo se pondrá la solución a disposición de usuarios o beneficiarios? Se valorará la exactitud de la respuesta.
The problem is unavailability of information needed for the good life and those facing this issues mostly are young people - Youth.
So,seeing from the perspective of a youth, i concluded that the ingredient needed for the goodlife is LEARNING,EARNING and YEARNING.
PAPER.COM provides solution to this need by providing a GLOBAL VIRTUAL RESOURCE, a virtual paper and media center where every member of the community can becomes a content provider by writing their own story, share their reality and disclose whatever information they have at their disposal with the public. Contents comes in as WRITTEN, PICTURES or VIDEOS. we understand that information abounds on a daily basis and different group of people are expose to different information from different part of the world. So, PAPER.COM as decided to create a platform where everybody everywhere can come together and share their piece of information not for free. Yes, never for free as members who upload information in WORDS, PICTURES and VIDEOS get paid according to the numbers of Impressions and Feedback they get.
We are meeting needs as we will ensure their are information available for those interested in LEARNING. And we also motivate those who carry the information to share as we guarantee their EARNING and then we make other young people YEARN for more of this.
We are reaching the global market. It's virtual, the internet is our home ... reaching billions of people is never a problem. We are a good VIRAL MARKETING platform on ground.
There is a global market waiting me... support this dream.
EL MODELO: explica con un ejemplo específico la forma en que la solución marca una diferencia mediante la utilización de medios y tecnología de la información.
Reaching a large number of young people from across the world is the number one target of this innovation. And the only means to achieve that is to enjoy the wave of the information technology and media. Social media over time as become one huge platform for POSSIBILITIES. as a social media entrepreneur, a freelance marketer and independent publicist who are been so deep in the utilization of social media such as FACEBOOK, LINKEDIN,TWITTER, STUMBLEDUPON,FLICKR, MASHABLES, THEENTREPRENUER to mention few, with thousands of followers/connection in each of this networking site, i will boldly state that my initiative is solving a global strictly with the usage of information technology and media. We are meeting needs of millions of young people by providing adequate and updated information to them, and also creating an avenue where they become employed. Solving the problem of unemployment on a global scale is another way to define this move.
PAPER.COM is not just another networking site. it is as define above, a global virtual resource center that can also be address as a GLOBAL VIRTUAL NEWS PORTAL that accept raw direct immediate happenings from members across the world.
EL MERCADO: ¿quiénes son tus colaboradores o competidores? ¿Qué retos podrían presentar estos competidores para el éxito o desarrollo de tu iniciativa?
Those we see as peers and competitors are cut aside through our power of creativity E.G CNN, 234NEXT, and all other news portal that utilizes the internet would have match up as competitors but PAPER.COM is an instant information distributor. News, general updates about events happening around the world are uploaded instantly by our members who we see and pay as INFORMANT. WORDS, PICTURES and VIDEOS speak a volume for us. our edge is unmatchable as we create a platform for easy involvement as phone applications will be more simplified for usage.
Outside the fact that it is going to be fun for every member ... it also carries this iota of competition, as been the first to deliver a particular information becomes unavoidable.

Two heads are better than one they say and two good heads are better than one good one. The idea of PAPER.COM is born out of our curiosity to impact on the changing world which is fast becoming a global village. The height of the idea came when one of the founders encountered a cyber criminal from the UK, the experience made us to realize that a better and another stream of income have to be created for our youth. So paper came into frame.
Especifica tanto el alcance como la escala del impacto social de tu solución hasta la fecha.
There have been attempt by one of our founder to distribute internet money making tools for free, but this has not gone far.
¿Qué impacto esperas que tenga tu iniciativa en los próximos 1-5 años? ¿Es una idea aplicable a otros ámbitos? En caso afirmativo, ¿cómo se podría aplicar?
The success will be massive because we've taken a lot of researches and taken cognizance of loopholes and so we've built an edge over existing companies. The idea is a unique one so the success should skyrocket above its peers. The idea is replicable in the print, the long term project is to start a print media in major countries.

Our aim is to give voice to the many communities and individuals throughout the world who, with neither credit nor press, successfully reinvent the world through exemplary social innovation and civic undertakings.
We are addressing 2 major challenges:
● A relatively poor level of creativity is applied today to social problem-solving in the third sector whereas social entrepreneurs provide under-promoted and compelling stories and citizens offer a relatively untapped pool of inspiring benchmarks.
● An ever-increasing number of social entrepreneurs and citizens have developed skills and know-how that are underused, dormant or under-monetized whereas an overwhelming number of corporations and governments lack those specific skills to address the issues of interacting with a more responsibility-oriented environment: therefore, business leaders, social entrepreneurs and citizens need to form advisory partnerships in order to discover how to transform business practices to meet pressing needs. Policy makers and social entrepreneurs & citizens need also to be brought together in order to find ways to combine their strengths to improve public systems.
LA SOLUCION: explica qué ofrece tu solución y por qué es innovadora. ¿Cómo se pondrá la solución a disposición de usuarios o beneficiarios? Se valorará la exactitud de la respuesta.
Imagination for People (IP) is a multilingual, Wikipedia-like open platform dedicated to social innovation and the civic imagination. At a global scale, IP aims at detecting, publicizing, amplifying and adapting creative solutions to the new challenges of living together.
In doing so, we help identify social innovators who not only have delivered new solutions to problems that neither the private sector nor governments have succeeded in solving but who have also developed specific skill-sets and know-how that could be leveraged by such corporations or governments (municipalities, regions, etc.).
Imagination for People intends therefore to develop a unique service offering that we call: Citizen to Business (C2B) and Citizen to Government (C2G) consulting. C2B and C2G correspond to a new and revolutionary offering of crowdsourcing ("smartsourcing"). Imagination for People will help democratize monetized knowledge transfers to corporations and government entities in the form of a collective consulting & advisory solution. Citizens who used to keep their expertise unsolicited or who shared their knowledge for free (as social entrepreneurs, civic entrepreneurs, volunteers, mentors, bloggers, citizen journalists, social-purpose Web sites contributors, etc.) will be able to transform themselves into civic micro-entrepreneurs.
We therefore envision a world in which “everyone can be an advisor for change”.
EL MODELO: explica con un ejemplo específico la forma en que la solución marca una diferencia mediante la utilización de medios y tecnología de la información.
We believe in the power of social media and of the Internet to tap into the collective intelligence for the common good.
It requires to open the closed system of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) consulting and public policy-making advisory. This system is still limited today to a very restrictive pool of professional advisors and consultants and is constrained by particularly rigid consulting processes such as: large scale mandates, RFPs, multi-year agreements, etc. It should be extended to communities of citizens who may share relevant expertise and paradigm-shifting ideas, in the context of smaller, more flexible engagements.
In order to establish its new offering, IP will partner with a number of professional consultancies who will play the role of operational intermediaries between their own clients on the one hand (corporations and public institutions) and the networks of independent expert-citizens and social entrepreneurs on the other hand.
This partnership-based leveraged model will allow for a rapid ramp-up of IP’s smartsourcing system at an international level. Consultancies in various countries will provide access to their client contacts (corporations and governments) in order to diversify their own revenue streams through IP’smartsourcing model (win-win piggy-back model). For example, one single master-agreement with a global player such as Deloitte (my former employer) will considerably accelerate the deployment of IP’s model.
EL MERCADO: ¿quiénes son tus colaboradores o competidores? ¿Qué retos podrían presentar estos competidores para el éxito o desarrollo de tu iniciativa?
To the best of our knowledge, no other player has developed a smartsourcing offering with a clear Citizen to Business and Citizen to Government focus. Existing online platforms such as Betterplace, Kiva or Springwise did not choose such a value proposition. There is simply no other collective mechanism designed to tap into the collective knowledge pool of citizens today, except for technology-oriented R&D platforms (Innocentive, Yet2, Hypios, etc.). These latter sites do not focus on socio-economic development / public policy / social change management. They have an exclusive R&D orientation.
A few players may consider entering this field in the near future, notably expert networks and management consultancies with a focus on the public sector. Indeed, the consulting industry needs to reinvent itself by democratizing its sources of information, providing a much higher level of creativity and a renewed pool of expertise.
Yet, unlike Imagination for People, pure players in consulting will not have access to the online collaborative platform required to build the level of proximity and trust with citizen communities.

HISTORIA DE FONDO: queremos conocer tu momento de inspiración. Comparte con nosotros la historia del lugar y el momento en que el fundador o los fundadores llegaron a la conclusión de que su solución podría cambiar el mundo.
As a strategy consultant working for industry clusters, I have always been puzzled by the following questions: how can creativity be made useful? How can we use the power of the Internet to maximize collaborative innovation?
My decision to launch Imagination for People is a direct consequence of those two reflections: applying the collective force, energy and creativity of networked people to socially significant issues, with the support of a process that is inspired by the power of social media and by the application of the dynamics of crowdsourcing to the consulting activity.
In my experience, bringing together new "interpreters" (designers, artists, social entrepreneurs, technologists, etc.) always helped change the way people perceived their business, trade or specialty. When applied to new governance, delivery or business models, working with multiple interpreters is even more powerful.
Especifica tanto el alcance como la escala del impacto social de tu solución hasta la fecha.
Imagination for People (IP) has been online for 2 months. The beta version is a Wiki platform dedicated to the sourcing and co-editing of the most inspiring social initiatives in the world. The site already lists 300 disruptive projects from 30 different countries supported by a community of 2000 users. We already offer users to participate in international collaborative workgroups on social challenges supported by digital solutions (e.g. Fablabs, digital transformation in Southern countries, alternative currencies, radical urban innovation in smartcities, business models applied to social entrepreneurship, etc.). Those workgroups will have access in November 2011 to a suite of unique tools allowing to gather collective intelligence in a radically new way: going beyond traditional online forums and blogs, IP has indeed developed a structured sequential co-creation process based on the use of graphical representations and infosthetics (knowledge trees, Mindmapping, Visual Thesaurus, 3D Maps, etc.) as well as on the use of specific animation techniques (Wiki Sprints, Floss manual writings, talk maps, etc.).
¿Qué impacto esperas que tenga tu iniciativa en los próximos 1-5 años? ¿Es una idea aplicable a otros ámbitos? En caso afirmativo, ¿cómo se podría aplicar?
We envision the development of IP's impact at a global scale through 3 different paths over 5 years:
1) Reaching 5,000 to 10,000 inspiring social projects on the wiki platform in order to be recognized as the reference knowledge base on civic creativity
2) Hosting hundreds of online collaborative workgroups:
- Groups with participants in the hundreds for workgroups addressing specific social issues and/or designing new “resources” (how-to, FAQs, multimedia sources, etc.) supporting social entrepreneurship issues
- Groups in the thousands for large scale "open" social challenges
3) Leveraging the expertise of hundreds of citizens in the context of smartsourcing mandates with companies and governments, helping to monetize and democratize citizen knowledge.

Modelo híbrido
¿Qué obstáculos han dificultado el éxito de tu proyecto hasta la fecha? ¿Cómo tienes pensado superar estos y otros obstáculos al ir desarrollando tu solución?
Our major initial barrier was due to the inadequacy of the legal framework in Canada and in France in order to set up a balanced hybrid non profit - for profit entity. Finding the right legal structure helped us set up a governance system pushing the level of transparency vis a vis the community to new levels (with representatives of all major stakeholders, including the free software community).
¿Cómo valoras el cambio en los sectores de medios de comunicación y tecnología de la información en la próxima década? ¿Cómo se adaptará tu solución a este entorno cambiante? ¿Cómo podría impulsar tu solución esos cambios?
The IT and media sectors will become more and more intertwined, with digital becoming the norm and transmedia becoming the trend. Imagination for People is intrinsically transmedia. All IP components benefit from a dual online-offline input consisting of virtual exchanges combined with physical partnering networks. In addition to its Internet and physical events core, IP revolves around the use of print (partnerships with publishers), TV production (partnerships with citizen filmmakers and community TVs), serious gaming and virtual reality, etc.
El fracaso no es siempre una opción. Si tu solución no funciona en los dos próximos años, ¿qué otras aplicaciones de la idea podrías investigar?
IP can grow at different speeds and offer its value propositions sequentially:
- Phase 1: Detecting (the largest number of innovative social initiatives)
- Phase 2: Supporting & scaling up (the innovative social projects)
- Phase 3: Monetizing (the citizen competencies).
If phase 3 fails to gain traction in the next 2 years, phases 1 & 2 will be funded through our marketplace (Social to Business Connect). It consists of matching the competencies of social innovators with corporations or governments looking for innovative solutions ("matchmaking"). The marketplace is not based on citizen consulting. It is focused on bridging skills with corporate and institutional needs, with a business model consisting of annual memberships paid by the companies and the government entities logging on the marketplace.

Foundations and socially engaged funds will help kickstart our platform through seed philanthropy and long term loans. IP will self-finance its activities within 3 years. It should breakeven in year 3 thanks to its citizen consulting activities and its "Social to Business Connect" membership-based marketplace.
