With a rapid increase in the use of digital technologies, people in the Global South including Bangladesh are exposed to a wide-range of smartphone applications (termed as apps in this paper), which offer a variety of features and services. However, privacy leakage through apps has increasingly become a major concern in Bangladesh, where the app collecting users' sensitive information without their consent was reported in news media for privacy violation. Our study with 32 participants from varying age, literacy level, and profession in Dhaka, Bangladesh unveils the perceptions of people around data collection and sharing by the app reported in privacy leakage news. All of our participants were aware of information leakage through the app they use, where they possess varying perceptions around providing personal information, like a sense of benefit, necessity and contribution, indifference, fear, or (no) authority over data collection. Our analysis reveals the relation between users' privacy perceptions, local infrastructure, and social practices in Bangladesh, where we identify the situated challenges that interfere with people's understanding of privacy notice. Our results lead to a discussion on how people's privacy perceptions are influenced by rapid urbanization and the opportunities offered by digitization in Bangladesh. Based on our findings, we provide recommendations to develop situated and sustainable strategies to enhance privacy awareness and practices in the social setting of Bangladesh, and Global South.

Breast cancer patients go through many ordeals when they undergo treatments. Many of these issues are personal, social, or professional. As many of them are not directly medical in nature, these issues are not discussed with their healthcare providers and hence, not included in their treatment plan. However, these issues are vital for the patients' complete recovery. We present a novel approach that acts as the first step in including such personal and social issues resulting from breast cancer treatment into a patient's treatment plan. There are numerous online forums where patients share their experiences and post questions about their treatments and subsequent side effects. We collected data from one such forum called "Online Breast Cancer Forum". On this forum, users (patients) have created threads across many related topics and shared their experiences and questions. We use these message threads to identify critical issues faced by the patient and how they are related to their treatment. We convert the forum data into a bipartite network and turn the network nodes into a high-dimensional feature space. In this feature space, we perform community detection to unearth latent connections between patients and topics. We claim that these latent connections, along with the known ones, will help to create a new knowledge base that will eventually help physicians to estimate non-medical issues for a prescribed treatment. This new knowledge will help the physicians plan a more adaptive and personalized treatment and be better prepared by anticipating potential problems beforehand. We evaluated our method on two baseline methods and show that our method outperforms the baseline methods by 25% on a manually labeled reference dataset.

More people in India have access to smartphones and the mobile internet than ever before. This provides an opportunity to equip underserved communities with the knowledge and resources to drive preventative health through their smartphones. The user interface and experience of our digital learning platform for behavior change was designed to engage with the emerging internet user and drive consistent engagement. In the last year, we have reached over 100,000 downloads, with users that have consumed over 212 million seconds of health content. By adopting a data-driven approach to interface design, and through a contextualized understanding of the end-users, we have been successful in building a platform that incorporates the features that our users value. The ubiquity of data enabled phones and increasing use of artificial intelligence powered technologies unlock unprecedented opportunities to reach and serve the billions of new underserved consumers with transformative health, nutrition and early learning information.

Making the State transparent to citizens has been recognized as a sine qua non for good governance since the last two centuries. The pervasive use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in recent decades, by the State as well as the citizens, has led to a new-found optimism in finally making governments transparent to citizens. Yet, such enthusiasm rarely leads to a sustainable impact on citizen-State relations. In this paper, we look at the artefacts, i.e. the websites, and apps and the interaction of citizens with these artefacts to understand the barriers to the transparency of the State. Based on a year-long ethnography of India's livelihood program, the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), we find that the web portals are not appreciative of citizen's context and needs. Specifically, we notice three veils of opacity - the formal-legible form of transparency, the inaccessibility of information due to design, and finally the content of the information which dissuades citizens from seeing the state functioning transparently. Rather than enabling the citizens to hold the State actors to account, the opacity of the intended panopticon leads to disempowering the citizens of their rights, ultimately having them exit the program rather than enhancing their voice. We conclude by arguing for the need to recentre discussions on e-transparency towards the citizens.

This paper presents findings from a set of 'magic machines' workshops with newly arrived Iraqi refugees in Australia. The aim was to allow a broad range of response in designing innovative and creative technologies that can help refugees deal with specific challenges. To bring the 'future' into the present and to understand their needs and experiences, we asked 12 participants to create low-fi objects from different materials and to enact them in different scenarios. The magic machines workshops helped access refugees' voices and provided future contexts for them to deal with their challenges. The data analysis of the two workshops revealed three broad themes: information provision barriers, security and ethical challenges, and mistrust and cultural aspects. Our findings show that adopting a speculative design approach has encouraged refugees to have a strong voice- creatively articulated in the form of a set of magic machines. The study offers insights into refugees' perceptions of the future and current technology. It also informs policymakers of the issues around current policy hurdles newcomer refugees face in their settlement in the host community.

Estimating greenhouse gases from the Agriculture, Forestry and Other land Use (AFOLU) sector is very challenging partly due to the unavailability of data (particularly for land use and land use change sectors) and inadequate experts to analyze this data in case it is available. We used Collect Earth together with Machine Learning techniques to be able to predict and classify all the land use types based on some few points collected using Collect Earth. We investigated the adoption of this tool and technology in Rwanda to help its national and sub-national inventories. The use of Collect Earth and the Machine Learning (ML) implementation will help Rwanda monitor and predict its Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry in a cost effective manner whiles enhancing the quality of reports submitted to national and international bodies whiles introducing a new approach. Among the classification algorithms we tested, we had an overall classification accuracy of 97% using the Classification and Regression Trees (CART) algorithm to predict the six land Use classes across the country.

This poster presents iNethi, a community wireless network deployed in a peri-urban township of Cape Town, South Africa. Initial usage clearly indicates a demand for Internet-based external services and, to a lesser extent, local services. We focus on the initial months of our deployment, and interaction with locally installed INethi services, as well as the impact of access to the Internet. We present data from our traffic logs, captured during a period of six months. We observed that a large proportion of data is being consumed by software or antivirus updates. The data collected and trends observed will allow iNethi operators to make necessary adjustment to the networks.

Violent conflict affects the lives, livelihoods and health of almost 1.5 billion people in the world. Efforts of intervention in violent conflicts through liberal peacebuilding strategies have not yielded fruits. This has paved way for resilience to be the new risk management strategy par excellence in peacebuilding in the Global South. Despite this growing enthusiasm for the focus on resilience, there remain significant debates and gaps in understanding about what actually constitutes resilience in conflict settings and particularly resilient conditions necessary for sustaining processes of preventing violent conflicts. The understanding become even more blurred when seeking to introduce Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) as an enabler of resilience in violent conflict settings. This paper therefore, argues that resilience for peace need to be understood in the context of both horizontal (bridging) and vertical (linking) social relationships that are influenced by the mushrooming and ubiquitous Information Communication Technologies (ICTs). The study found that ICTs play an important role in building resilient bridging and linking social relationships that are part of the process of preventing violent conflicts. The paper makes significant contribution to the theory of resilience as applied in ICT4D.

Providing effective and efficient maternal and child healthcare is a challenge across the world. The challenge is even higher in developing countries, like India, where the doctor-to-patient ratio does not meet WHO prescribed numbers. Inadequate access to medical experts means that even simple queries about healthcare are not answered. In this work, we present our initial findings of using state-of-the-art Q&A systems, like IBM Watson, Rasa, and custom retrieval-based model, for answering simple queries related to maternal and child health. The query database, formed of short questions, is obtained from a real-world experiment where a medical expert answered the questions. The initial results are encouraging and indicate that further research in this area can help to answer a large number of queries thus reducing the work-load on a human medical expert.

The attempt to enroll citizens under the umbrella of effective governance is being accomplished by bringing digitization to the pedestal of identity. The paper unfolds the story of India's biometric based digital identity programme, Aadhaar, in fulfilling its goals of facilitating national security, financial inclusion and entitlement delivery. Using the socio-technical framework of '[Good ID', a user-centric approach to digital identity, we critique the intricacies of the design of Aadhaar as a bridge between citizen beneficiaries and the government and propose suggestions to forward the case of Aadhaar as '[good' digital ID.
