3 IMPACT AT HUMAN SCALE Today, over 1 billion people living in the Asia Pacific can access critical information and communication technologies that just a decade earlier were largely out of reach. By 2020, a billion more people globally, many of whom are living in emerging Asia, will access the Internet for the first time. Underemployed, below the poverty line, and living with only the most basic education, these newly minted netizens will undoubtedly benefit from a new level of access to information technology. More and more people will solve real problems using egovernment apps, voter information tools, open education platforms, online business services, and public safety databases. At the same time, new challenges will emerge as local leaders struggle to keep up with demand for services, unexpected conflicts arise, and innovation disrupts old economies. This is an unprecedented period in history with staggering implications for aid assistance and The Asia Foundation. As these changes accelerate, The Asia Foundation is working in new ways to improve the lives of millions of people across the region. I invite you to learn more about how we are using technology and innovation to combat old challenges, and to consider how you can support this work during a time of accelerating opportunity and change. 1 David D. Arnold President
4 where citizens have a voice The Asia Foundation Together with our partners, we are committed to Asia s continued development as a peaceful, just, and thriving region of the world. where justice is effective where leaders are ethical 2 3
5 THE NEXT FIVE YEARS THE NEXT 1 BILLION In the next 5 years, more people in Asia will access the Internet for the first time than have done so in the previous 30. This will have a profound effect on the rate of economic, political, and social change in the region. Already home to more than 1.7 billion of the world s unique mobile subscribers, the Asia Pacific is the global smartphone market s largest region. But with only 5 out of 10 people in Asia subscribing to a mobile service, there remains an astonishing growth opportunity. By 2020, the Asia Pacific s unique subscriber base is forecast to rise to 2.4 billion, with 70 percent of all users connecting to services using a smartphone. As a result, mobile apps and services are rapidly expanding into emerging Asia, making it possible for previously excluded communities to access financial, government, and information services for the first time. This is a socio-economic transformation that will reshape the region and impact the lives of potentially billions of people. It is also profoundly altering the way international development organizations work in Asia. We see this as an incredible opportunity. Our projects already connect millions of people to mobile-based services; we employ innovative data and analytics software to solve complex policy problems; and we leverage mobile collaboration tools to help our partners stay connected and work together. The promise of Asia s next billion drives everything we do. 4 5
6 In Asia, it s mobile first. Our partners are using mobile devices to collaborate, share, and interact in new and unexpected ways
7 how we work We develop solutions tailored to local needs, deployed in local languages, and integrated into a larger, strategic approach to change. context matters Technology solutions don t solve problems unless they are practical, politically viable, and embraced by the communities they aim to serve. So before even a single line of code is written, Foundation political analysts and local project teams work closely with citizens, software developers, civil society, and government partners to identify the real challenges and concerns of local communities. areas of focus Our projects help improve the lives of millions of Asia s citizens, and three important areas of innovation enhance the impact of our work: ACCESS Smartphones are now connecting millions of people in Asia. We re leveraging this critical link to connect citizens with a global ecosystem of information and services. We then emphasize lightweight, sustainable solutions that leverage local knowledge, existing libraries, and common frameworks. We insist on open standards to promote interoperability. And we support open source initiatives because we believe anyone should be free to adapt, modify, and build on our efforts. Our technology initiatives can rapidly prototype, test, and go to scale because we place an emphasis on low cost, replicable solutions that fit neatly into larger, ongoing Asia Foundation development projects. That s why our projects have the impact they do. DATA & ANALYTICS We re promoting new tools that help Asia s policy makers, civic activists, and small business leaders rapidly collect and analyze a range of data previously unavailable to them. COLLABORATION We ve integrated social media tools into our programs to connect our partners more fully, and promote diverse, grassroots networks capable of working in new ways. 8 9
8 ACCESS Over the next decade, more than one billion new citizens in Asia will connect to the Internet for the first time, and their first and possibly only link to the rich resources of the web will come in the form of a smartphone. The Asia Foundation is committed to leveraging mobile in ways that put relevant, impactful information and services into the hands of underserved people. We re employing connected devices to support marginalized groups, including women, link citizens to critical services, and distribute and collect essential information on a range of important development issues. We also recognize that the mobile revolution is transforming business and government in important ways, so we invest in efforts to help government and civil society rethink approaches to data and information. By building data platforms that are open and transparent, governments and social entrepreneurs can work together to unlock public information in ways that are relevant to local communities and the private sector Indonesian Election Information Apps
9 INDONESIA National & Local Elections In recent years, Indonesia s 50+ million smartphone users have turned to their mobile devices in search of information on local and national elections. Many of the mobile apps they rely on for access to candidate data and election information are powered by API Pemilu - the largest online database of election data ever assembled for an Asian election, and the result of an innovative new partnership between the Indonesian election organization, Perludem, and The Asia Foundation. To encourage the creation of the widest variety of apps and services possible, Perludem and the Foundation employed an open API strategy: building and releasing an API (application programming interface) to give software developers free and open access to the project s massive database of election data. The partnership then hosted Indonesia s first civic tech hackathon, and invited software developers from across the country to help build election apps using the available data. More than 300 of Indonesia s most creative developers used the API to build over 30 election-focused mobile apps and web services. API Pemilu apps provides voters with access to election information and services previously unavailable to them including direct access to the profiles of 30,638 legislative candidates, information on campaign finance issues, and answers to common questions about election procedures and regulations. To date, apps produced by the project have registered over 7 million unique users and 100 million election data requests. The database continues to support new applications built using the API, and has recently been expanded to cover local elections in partnership with Indonesia s national election commission
10 DATA AND ANALYTICS From disaster risk reduction, to urban planning, to conflict mapping, innovative new approaches to data collection and analysis have far-reaching implications for a wide range of policy issues. The Asia Foundation employs a battery of advanced data and analytics tools to assess the political, economic, and humanitarian dimensions of development issues in Asia. Our efforts aim to improve local development initiatives through enhanced understanding and knowledge. We also work with Asian governments, policy makers, researchers, and entreprenuers to raise the visibility of new and low-cost solutions that can improve data collection efforts. And finally, we recognize that the promise of new technologies is intertwined with the global Open Data agenda, and depends on broad access to research data, public information, and social media content. That s why we also pursue a broad transparency agenda through initiatives designed to help Asia s leaders grapple with the challenge of access to information in the digital age
11 MONGOLIA Urban Services Through the intelligent use of remote sensing tools, advanced mapping, and UAV technologies, The Asia Foundation s Ger Area Mapping project has not only helped Mongolia s marginalized and poor access better urban services, it is also helping policy makers and city planners better understand and prepare for Ulaanbaatar s future. Three quarters of a million nomads from across Mongolia now inhabit Ulaanbaatar s Ger Areas a ring of unplanned communities and low-income neighborhoods surrounding the nation s capital. In the next decade an estimated 400,000 additional low-income residents are expected to settle there, making the Ger Areas of Ulaanbaatar one of the largest unplanned settlements in Asia. Some of these unplanned areas are so new they aren t even on a map, while satellite imagery accessible to the city is often of a low resolution or obscured by cloud cover. As the government struggles to provide water, education, transportation, and other basic urban services to the Ger Areas, a key challenge to city planners is a shortage of good data. Without good geospatial data, planning for the delivery of basic services is nearly impossible. Working with the City of Ulaanbaatar, The Asia Foundation collected high-quality imagery and elevation data for the city using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and earth-imaging satellites. These high-resolution images were used to create detailed maps complete with elevation data, and labeled neighborhoods, roads, buildings, landmarks, and other features. And in a bid to make this information open and accessible to all, the maps were shared with Open Street Maps (OSM), a world-wide, community-driven mapping project
12 COLLABORATION As the largest community of social media users in the world, Asia s citizens are poised to leverage new networking and collaboration technologies to create powerful information-sharing, reporting, and advocacy tools. Just as platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter first helped communities network and share information in novel ways, entirely new collaboration tools that emphasize crowd-driven, distributed approaches to problem solving are helping Asia Foundation partners address a variety of challenges in unexpected ways. Distributed, decentralized, and massively scalable, these tools are making lightweight, low-cost, and typically cloud-based forms of work accessible to anyone with a connection to the Internet. So whether the focus is on women s safety and security, urban governance issues, anti-corruption initiatives, or election monitoring new networking and collaboration tools have fundamentally changed the way we and our partners work across the region India s SafetiPin Mobile App
13 INDIA Women s Safety Leveraging India s over 300 million mobile phone subscribers, Asia Foundation partner, Saftipin, is transforming the way women obtain safety and security information from within their local communities. Using the Saftipin mobile app, Indian women are crowdsourcing a map of safe streets in communities in which they live, and, in the process, making a lasting contribution to women s safety and awareness outside the home. SafetiPin is an Android and ios app that is free to download and employs location services and an open-source map to allow users to rate a neighborhood or a specific street s relative safety, while also showing how others have rated that area. At the core of the app is the Safety Audit. Users rate the safety of a given area based on key parameters such as the availability of working street lights, the presence of police and other security personnel, the number of men or women on the street, and the overall mood on the street. User data is aggregated by SafetiPin and fed back to the appropriate government agencies to advocate for better infrastructure and policy change. To augment data submitted by users, The Asia Foundation worked with SafetiPin to provide professionally trained auditors to collect additional safety-related information on communities and cities. SafetiPin builds on the premise that community participation and engagement will make India s cities safer. By leveraging the crowd, SafetiPin is taking a bottom-up approach to addressing a serious challenge faced by many local governments in Asia: providing citizens with safe and secure public spaces
14 CAMBODIA BANGLADESH SRI LANKA MYANMAR Through a collaborative, human-centered design process, The Asia Foundation is bringing Cambodian women activists together with software developers to combat violence against women and girls. Working together, teams of local and international designers and developers, activists, and survivors are prototyping and building mobile apps capable of delivering safety-enhancing information and services to girls and women throughout Cambodia. Mobile money is helping improve women s access to credit. In Bangladesh, The Asia Foundation is working with United Commercial Bank and Banglalink, one of the largest telecom operators in the country, to provide local women entrepreneurs access to e-commerce opportunities and mobile banking services. For the first time, these women are reaching new markets on the road to realizing their full potential as entrepreneurs. Thanks to an innovative partnership between The Asia Foundation and Sri Lankan local government officials, Android-based tablets are now employed to collect community feedback on government infrastructure projects. Using one of the country s first techenabled social audits, citizens can now express their views on a range of issues related to local governance from the quality of water supplies to roads and city services with feedback delivered directly to local officials in the form of a data-driven visual scorecard. As Myanmar emerged from decades of isolation and internal strife, The Asia Foundation partnered with Google and members of the Myanmar diaspora community to help fast track the launch of a Myanmar language version of Google.com and adopt Myanmar 3 (MM3) as the default character set. By selecting a Unicode-compliant font such as MM3, Google ensured that the other languages of Myanmar (Mon, Karen, Kayah, Pali, Rumai Palaung, and Shan) could now access the country s new local language version at www. google.com.mm
15 Our projects reach millions of Asia s citizens because we recognize the importance of working locally. This is our greatest strength
