I had great time in Oxford last month at the e-Campaigning Forum, where I presented a paper on behalf of the Open Society Foundation. In addition to be surrounded by a real-life Harry Potter set, I was also surrounded by some of Europe’s (and the world’s) best digital campaigners, like Karina Brusby of Oxfam and Michael Siberman of GreenPeace.

The paper was a case-study of the Stop Stock-Outs campaign in southern Africa.  Co-written with Brett Davidson and Michael Ballard, the paper looks at how the Open Society Foundation and its grantees selected a mix of online and offline communication and information gathering tools for a Pill Check Week campaign to bring attention to essential medicine shortages in  Kenya, Malawi, Uganda, and Zambia.
