Humanitarian Media: Dadaab, Kenya

Lessons Learned
Keep it real and simple
Invest in local capacity, local innovation and local technology
The most innovative project is the one that will work even when the technology will not
Go back to the basics: human interactions!
Research
Technology is nothing if there is no understanding
The consequences of the use of technology are multiple and differ from case to case
Listen, learn, elaborate and SHARE!
The strength of partnerships!
Innovation comes from within
Information comes from within
People will find ways to communicate no matter what
