I’m looking for ideas on how tech professionals can help Syria rebuild after decades of dictatorship. The country is facing significant challenges, and I’m especially interested in low-cost, tech-driven solutions especially if can be done remotely.<p>How can we use tech to:<p>-Support governance and civic engagement (e.g., promoting democratic values, transparency)?<p>-Provide education and skills training (online platforms, mentorship)?<p>-Aid economic recovery (job creation, entrepreneurship)?<p>-Promote social healing and unity (mental health support, dialogue platforms)?<p>-Ensure access to reliable information (educating citizens on rights, opportunities)?<p>- What are some scalable, affordable tech initiatives that can make a meaningful impact?<p>I appreciate it if you have any ideas, references, books, videos, other countries stories that can help get educated about the topic.
You have to find a prob by talking to orgs on the ground and then think about tech applications. Doing it the other way round can be frustrating. Useful to read James C Scotts Seeing like a State.
