Jonathan wants his profile image changed which i will do i a short while
This profile is incomplete and no evidence of proof of the profile holder as a Web designer. are there links that prove some of his work??? @chardso @MartinSchott @yyenki what do you think?
He has the proof of wat he was working on
Hey @romeoplat and @chardso ,
my humble opinion:
I think for the Diploma in Computer Science it should include from where he got it (a university probably?) and also the same for the certificate in data science.
And thanks for the link Wafela, that's great to have a tangible proof. In this case I think it should include a few words, e.g. did he build the website? Or did he produce some of the music on it? For external persons that would be hard to understand. If he was building the website on his own, it could be something like "This is an example of a website I have built for xxx, using the technologies yyy and zzz"
@MartinSchott @romeoplat @chardso @timmwille Food for thought!! Despite the certificates that can be provided as proof, if feel we should focus more on tangible work done by the expert we want to profile. There is a general challenge of forgery of academic certificates across the region, we shouldn't find ourselves having a database of experts that we can't prove their work or certificates.
@yyenki
yes I agree! It is important to find a way for experts that didn't learn their skills through university / certificates.
The challenge is then, how can we have a certain degree of "standardization" in how the tangible work examples are presented? I think that would be necessary, so that the data quality team has it not too difficult to decide.
My proposal would be: select 3-5 best practice examples of existing profiles (or write new ones) of skill qualifications that are not with degree/certificate, but with work examples, and which also include some explanation and are easy to understand for external persons that (hopefully) will visit LEAD in the future.
(I just realized that this discussion should rather be in #85 )
@MartinSchott @romeoplat @Iamjaiksana @timmwille Here is my proposal of how we can verify or check for quality for experts to be part of LEAD.
We should be able to provide links to their work online (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube or website) and that can work as our proof of their skill set. In this case, for example, profiles for Romeo or Ladu could be linked to all their respective work. That's enough proof of their skill set.
When someone was trained by that particular hub, I believe they should have been able to work some tasks and thus, the hub needs to provide an attestation (proof/evidence/declaration/formal certification of their work - perhaps, we can include this feature on the LEAD website below profiles). In this case for example from GoGirls side, I would like the profiles of Iklass Martin and Anthoneta Keji removed because the tasks we gave them, they could not complete them. This could work as a benchmark to qualify experts who don't have degrees or certificates to be part of this database.
If someone has a genuine degree, we should be able to prove that, for example, by linking to their university. I take a case scenario of myself, when you google "Yine Yenki - Makerere University" are able to see my name reflected on the graduation list of 2015 which a clear indication that indeed, I got that degree. Have a look at the screenshot below as proof.
Let me take the case scenario of @dawaedina27 where she got someone with a degree, but no work online, in this case, rule no.3 above applies, or I believe if he is a student, there must be a lecturer or an instructor whom he can recommend for us to contact and get access to his details (Normally, universities issue student numbers (the particular expert should provide us with his/her number) that are unique to each student, and we should be able to verify with such an institution).
Two weeks back, I was interacting with one of the biggest firms in East Africa (UAP Insurance) and one of the challenges they highlighted to me regarding recruitment of employees in Juba was that most people forge documents, and it's becoming costly for their institution to verify documents because they now have to hire a firm to keep contacting Universities to verify academic documents. Trust me, UAP is one of the many struggling with such challenges. We could explicitly turn this to our advantage and make this platform the go-to database to verify individuals who are also seeking for employees, consultants and verify their documents - after all, that's the power of Open Source in transforming systems. But this depends on our efforts to get genuine information and grow this platform otherwise, I already see a huge potential in this in relation to employment opportunities in South Sudan. There are also several complaints that several local and international organizations within South Sudan don't recruit people with academic documents because they claim that there are no Sudan Sudanese with the required skill set and hence recruit foreigners - in this long run, if not handled, it could even turn xenophobic and of course, as problem solvers, we don't want that. When we officially launch our website or when an opportunity avails, we could engage the National Communication Authority (NCA), South Sudan NGO Forum and in the long run the Ministry of Human Resources to promote the use of such platform by hiring firms and institutions. From my side, this is good enough for now and as we grow and expand on this, more ideas/concepts will be added as we learn.
What are your thoughts on this?
@MartinSchott @romeoplat @timmwille @maliarich
Another Addition and I need your thoughts on this
On all the profiles, including mine, I feel under Describe Yourself - we need something catchy and attractive like a bio to the public. I was suggesting something like the below, for example, take my bio, some time back where I tried as much as possible to reflect all that I have been involved in so far.
Yine Yenki Nyika is the co-founder and Mentorship Director at GoGirls ICT Initiative, where she oversees running all trainings of mentors and overseeing training workshops given at the organization. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Makerere University, Uganda and is a Teaching Assistant at the college of Computer Science and Information Technology at the University of Juba, South Sudan. She worked as Head, Department of Computer Science in the same Institution for three years. Likewise, she has spoken and participated in several conferences both on local and International platforms including the #PeaceHackCamp, ICT4D 2016, Youth Connekt Africa 2017, Transform Africa Summit 2017, re: publica18 in Berlin and the International Symposium of Electronic Arts 2018 in Durban among others. She was a facilitator for the #defyhatenow project and through this initiative contributed to the Field Guide - a tool used to mitigate online and offline Hate speech which could lead to violence in South Sudan in relation to gender issues. She has contributed her skills and knowledge during the Youth Innovation Challenges organized by UNDP South Sudan. Not only that, but she is also a coordinator of the Access to Skills and Knowledge network #ASKnet project, a network consisting of five hubs in South Sudan and Northern Uganda working towards the promotion of digital inclusion as a framework for addressing the readiness of South Sudanese Communities to fully embrace the digital age. Furthermore, through her work, she is interested in understanding and changing the narrative that limits the participation of Girls and Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in South Sudan.
@yyenki I would have missed this very important comment here but @MartinSchott pointed me here. → maybe you can copy paste (via "edit") this as another comment into this issue discussion here?: → https://github.com/ASKnetCommunity/LEAD/issues/85
@timmwille Done! It has been added to issue #85
Could it be something like this; https://github.com/chardso/an-fm-radio-transmitter
Wrote to Jonathan to sent the institution or university where he attained his diploma in computer science.
Anyanzo Jonathan got his diploma of computer science at African institute of strategic management and capacity building affiliated to Cavendish university.
I think this is still with little info so as all the good Ideas emerged → how can we help make this complete to be verified
? @chardso think outside the box → a picture, a video on youtube an audio recording or any form of publication to provide "Proof of experience" would help a lot @ASKnetCommunity/data-collectors
Alright I will try handling that.
Ooh my God ,I kept updates in the comments,I will transfer them the profile add some flavour with new updates,thanks @timmwille and @MartinSchott .
