Finding
Based on the experiences of the Young Global Leaders in Argentina, Mozambique and Venezuela, the group intends to create a new non-profit, nongovernmental organization whose mission is to deploy new technologies to empower citizens around the world to ensure that their right to free and fair elections is respected.
YGL Response
Civic Eye will engage in three general activities: 1. Adapt existing crowd sourcing technology for election contexts; 2. Provide training and technical support for adapting and deploying this technology to local NGOs; 3. Aggregate best practices and regularly update the methods it employs. As a result of these efforts, the group expects to see mass participation in election monitoring become the norm and, in so doing, enhance accountability, transparency and citizen engagement.
