UP20 is a Social Program Marketplace
UP20 boldly facing the uncanny-rift

##
of the (even more uncanny) Digital-Divide
By promiting open-source best-practices in the social realms

JOIN us as contirbutors and start-up our funky community
CSR | Corporate Social Responsibility
So you’re telling me…

Downside | Greenwashing
Major issue in the social dimension

Sunny-Side | Ecosystems
Social Progams must develop their own growth strategies

What the SDG is all about?
UNDP | Sustainable Development Goals
- 193 countries signed
- Specific 17 Goals, each w/ Targets and ~340 Indicators
- Each goal has set of specific parameters (aka. KPI)
- 2-step ‘Deadlines:’ 2020, 2030
Let’s Set the course for the next decade(s)
- Adopting SDG means: Duty of SDG Reporting (country)
- Corporates and Countries have to work together
- Parameters are presets
- Programs develop specific best-practices
SDG | features over time
- Manages state(s)
- Handles country input
- Country handles NGO input
- Adds KPI to exising programs
- Acquire and run programs
Social-Programs meets opensource community
you can share social programs the same way! using markdown makes publishing easy
Online Repo rules so you never make another ppt.
//some pseudo-code
our.social.content('#mySocialProgram', [
country()
goals(),
keys(),
actors(),
media('THIS IS IMPORTANT!'),
instance('Penguin-August-2018'),
etc...
]);
Forking Social-Programs made easy
Every instance you create
now lives in the land of code
as a separate module of the original one
//pseudo-code
var index = require('SDG-index'),
classes = require('SDG-classes'),
keys = require('SDG-keys'),
oss = require('SDG-repositories'),
outlets = require('SDG-bullets'),
etc...
plus, you can share _any_ content on nifty opensource platforms
Big-Data | “Show me the data”
Many govs adopt an Open-Data Policy (US, IL, EU..)
And make it accessible as RESTful/API
18F Blog | Autoring APIs
//pseudo-code
social.module.exports = function(myData, yourData) {
return function(deck) {
deck.next();
deck.prev();
// etc...
};
};
An API to track KPI’s
- Global datasets by country from World Bank
- Driven by Open-data. Powered by research institute
- Actors are encouraged to create source-code and APIs
- Bonus: 18f Authoring API
2018 | The Challenge
