We spent Day 2 of the E-Mediat Train the Trainer sessions on “ Translating The Networked NGO in the Arab World.&# To localize Networked Nonprofit concepts to an Arab NGO context, as appropriate, for improved project outcomes. The specific learning objectives: To understand the principles of “being” a Networked Nonprofit.
The project is training 300 NGOs in Jordan , Lebanon , Tunisia , Morocco , and other Arab countries to become networked ngos and use social media for civil society goals. A true public/private partnership, the funding partners include Microsoft and craiglist Charitable Fund. I’d like to share some of these below.
Past partners have included NGOs and nine truth commissions. Over 8 weeks this last fall, I had the privilege of working with NGOs from Afghanistan, Cambodia, Iraq, Lebanon and Syria, in a series of trainings that took place in Phnom Penh, Beirut and Istanbul.
The group has an impressive breadth and depth of expertise, including NGO capacity building, social media expertise and training design and delivery. In the morning, we did a team building exercise to better understand the network core, the in-country teams from Yemen, Morocco, Lebanon, Tunisia, and Jordan.
The goal is to train over 150-250 NGOs in Jordan, Lebanon, Yemen, Morocco, and other countries and help them put social media skills into practice. In addition to Zoetica, implementation partners include SMEX Beirut , TechSoup Global , and Meedan directly, plus a network of in-country teams and training partners.
The panelists included: Danielle Brigida of the National Wildlife Federation (NWF), Mark Horvath of Invisible People and Jessica Dheere , of Social Media Exchange Beirut in Lebanon. The session was live tweeted using the #netnon hashtag , but I wanted to go beyond simple live tweeting or re-tweeting.

This other one, I found that an NGO in Lebanon was doing WhatsApp surveys with Syrian refugees to see what had been their experience in the country because the refugees, most of them, 80% of them had a phone but they didn’t have a computer, they didn’t have anything else.
I’m here at the Dead Sea in Jordan where I delivered the key note for the E-mediat Networking Conference, “New Media for the Networked NGO.” I’ve been working on this project for more than year. In addition, there was live translation in both languages.
For example, you can hear the story about how the above Tunisian NGO went from “crawling” to “running” over the course of the program.
