Ushadidi is a crisis information engine made in Africa and now in global service, which allows information in any crisis to be simply assembled and accessed using the most common platforms and a timeline. In a true spirit of inventiveness, the creators are allowing regular phone users to offer their knowledge into the internet, and extract crucial information from it, under critical circumstances

Ushadidi is at http://www.ushahidi.com/ and has been proposed for an example by the Tony Blair Faith Foundation which would be supporting its contribution (subject to confirmation). Case studies may include Congo and the Kenyan election
