The network +provides a platform for exchange and representation of South Sudanese interests in culture, society, technology, innovation, and business creating a basis for better communication and cooperation. #ASKnet provides access to knowledge, +media, archiving, and promoting an open culture in South Sudan.Thus fostering the creation and use of information as a +key factor for empowerment. + +## Background + +The program began in 2015 with the establishment of Juba‘s Open Knowledge and Innovation Hub (jHUB), a community-based open media training project that offered an open forum for discussing, identifying, and developing solutions +for South Sudan‘s post-conflict difficulties. The jHUB community was scattered towards the end of 2016 as the conflict +erupted once more. Since then, the program has developed into a network of smaller, community-driven hubs and organizations operating in South Sudan and Uganda. Now, efforts are being made to formalize the consortium and attract +additional initiatives with similar goals to join. + +## Network Vision and Mission + +In order to empower people in precarious situations, hubs and community-driven organizations create social structures +and provide access to information. A consortium made up of several organizations can help to amplify their voices and +activities and promote peer growth. The following vision and mission have been adopted by the consortium: + +**Vision:** Build a transformative and sustainable media ecosystem. + +**Mission:** To establish a strong and sustainable network of South Sudanese-led community driven organizations that +address community challenges, empower with knowledge and skills, and inspire innovation and creativity among youth. + +## Our core values + +Guiding principles that help the consortium achieve its goals, mission and vision: + +- **Ethics and integrity:** We strive to be open and accountable to our partners, membership, and stakeholders, using sound judgment, abiding by ethical standards, honesty, responsibility, transparency, and dependability. +- **Innovation (not imitation):** The network supports creative leverage, uniqueness by encouraging members to differentiate between innovation and imitation. +- **Drive:** Strengthening collective identity, collaboration efficiency and power to achieve shared objectives. +- **Respect and non-discrimination** for all people, regardless of gender, age, etc. +- **Non-political/Non Partisan:** The network will remain impartial by not having any political ties. + +## Functions of the network + +On behalf of its members, the network will: + +- Run multi level stakeholder engagement and partnerships. +- Represent collectively agreed member interests in relevant forums. +- Participate in resource mobilization and lobbying to ensure sustainability of projects within its mandate. +- Maintain a platform for sharing member expertise, information and knowledge. +- Engage in knowledge creation to advance sector development through improved performance, evaluation of aligned +member projects. + +## Membership + +An organization must be community-driven, nonpartisan, and politically neutral in order to be accepted into the network. +Institutions wishing to join should submit an application to the network coordination office for assessment together with +a current Certificate of Registration from the Relief and Rehabilitation Commission or other appropriate authorities and a +copy of the organization‘s mandate. + +The benefits of joining the network include but not limited to: + +- **Connection:** #ASKnet is a platform for networking locally, regionally and internationally. +- **Representation:** #ASKnet represents and collectively amplifies its members’ interests. +- **Resources:** #ASKnet members share access to skills and knowledge, capacity development, and project resources including pooled resource mobilization and lobbying. +- **Leadership:** #ASKnet members collectively decide on resource allocation and contribute to sector planning. + +## Leadership and structure + +#ASKnet is governed by a **Steering Committee** (SC) drawn from member organizations, with the **Network Coordination Office** (NCO) facilitating executive operations and an advisory body that oversees progress and strategic alignment of the +consortium. + +## Members (November 2023) + +The current members of the consortium are: + +- **CC4D** - Community Creativity for Development (Rhino Camp, Uganda) +- **CECI** - Community Empowerment For Creative Innovation (Koboko, Uganda) +- **CIC** - Creative Innovation Center (Rhino Camp, Uganda) +- **GoGirls ICT** Initiative (Juba, South Sudan) +- **Junub Open Space** (Juba, South Sudan) +- **Koneta Hub** (Juba, South Sudan) +- **Ma‘Mara Sakit** (Juba, South Sudan) +- **Platform Africa** (Rhino Camp, Uganda) +- **YEF** - Youth Empowerment Foundation (Adjumani / Pagirinya, Uganda) + +## Partners + +#ASKnet is supported by r0g_agency (Berlin, Germany) and Hive Colab (Kampala, Uganda) as implementing partners. + +#ASKnet 2022-2025 is funded by the German Ministry of Economic Development and Cooperation (BMZ). \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/assets/docs/ASKnet_Flyer_07_2023.pdf b/assets/docs/ASKnet_Flyer_07_2023.pdf new file mode 100644 index 0000000..3dfe66d Binary files /dev/null and b/assets/docs/ASKnet_Flyer_07_2023.pdf differ diff --git a/assets/img/hubs/07-mamara-full.jpg b/assets/img/hubs/07-mamara-full.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..90abb11 Binary files /dev/null and b/assets/img/hubs/07-mamara-full.jpg differ diff --git a/assets/img/hubs/07-mamara-logo.jpg b/assets/img/hubs/07-mamara-logo.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..82b9f3b Binary files /dev/null and b/assets/img/hubs/07-mamara-logo.jpg differ diff --git a/assets/img/hubs/07-mamara-thumbnail.jpg b/assets/img/hubs/07-mamara-thumbnail.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..55fb074 Binary files /dev/null and b/assets/img/hubs/07-mamara-thumbnail.jpg differ diff --git a/assets/scss/_common.scss b/assets/scss/_common.scss index de079cd..4102910 100644 --- a/assets/scss/_common.scss +++ b/assets/scss/_common.scss @@ -31,6 +31,10 @@ ul { // margin: 0px;
