Announcing IPD's AidData Summer Fellows for 2017!

3/29/2017

IPD is pleased to announce our 2017 AidData Summer Fellows! AidData and IPD have worked closely over the past few years to send graduate and undergraduates all over the world to work with partner organizations on all things data. AidData Summer Fellows improve the capacity of civil society in developing countries to use geocoded data, which localizes development funding and activities down to the district, town or street corner level. Funded by USAID, summer fellows embed with local universities, think tanks and civil society groups for two to three months, equipping local organizations with the skills to use this data in program planning, advocacy and research.
​

Here is the current roundup of 2017 AidData Summer Fellows from the University of Texas at Austin:​​
  • Hina Acharya is a first-year Master of Global Policy Studies student at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. Her policy interests are in International Development and regional interests in South Asia and Africa. Prior to graduate school, Hina served as an English teacher in Nepal and as a student advocate for a non-profit in Omaha, Nebraska. This summer, she will serve as an AidData summer fellow for the Open Sustainability Institute in Kampala, Uganda to support and advocate for Open Data efforts in the country. 
  • Kevin Strybos is a senior undergraduate student majoring in Geography in the College of Liberal Arts at The University of Texas at Austin. He will be working with USAID in Lima, Peru assisting their team with GIS-related projects.  Kevin will also be training people new methods for using geospatial tools and how to run more complex types of analyses with ArcGIS. Kevin will work on building upon geodatabases, creating maps related to LULCC (deforestation, coffee production, burn incidents, etc.) and developing story maps with ArcGIS Online for USAID Peru.  
  • Paul Kuhne is a Master of Global Policy Studies student at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. He will be working with the Open Sustainability Institute (OSI) of Uganda supporting their sustainability work. Paul will be geocoding key sustainability projects around the country and helping them build a repository of information that supports their IGAD Climate Prediction & Applications Center. OSI's interventions serve to provide critical information to both citizens and government officials in order to mitigate the negative effects of climate change. Paul will also help OSI write a policy brief that will be presented to the government outlining recommendations for preparedness and development strategies. 
  • Katherine Whitton is a first-year Master of Global Policy Studies student at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. She studies International Development and Governance. Prior to graduate school, Katherine was in US Peace Corps serving as an education volunteer in Ethiopia (2013-2015). She started working with Innovations for Peace and Development (IPD) in Fall 2016. This summer she will be interning through the AidData Summer Fellowship Program at the Economic Policy Research Centre (EPRC) in Kampala, Uganda. She will either work in the Trade & Regional Integration Department (agriculture policy) or the Micro department (infant mortality). Both positions will involve a feasibility assessment, production of geocoded data, geocoding and GIS training, and research plan development.

My wish right now is that God should continue to bless Dr Emu for his good works towards the life of those people who are heart broken. My name is Michael DeBruin and I am from the USA, it's been a while since my lover's attitude changed from being the caring type she has been to me, but later turned out not to be caring at all. But not long, I later discovered that my lover was having an affair with someone else. and also she told me she doesn't need me after all we pass through then a friend told me about a spell caster. that with the spell I will get back my woman, I took his cell number then called him and also what's-app him which he reply to me and I did some sacrifices to the spell man and he bought the items for me which he used for the sacrifices and later called me that before 48 hours my love will come back to me and now we are more in love with each other than ever. you can reach him on WhatsApp +2347012841542 or reach him via mail ; emutemple@gmail.com , my lover returned back and broke up with the other guy she was having a relationship with... Thank you Dr Emu.

I TESTED POSITIVE FOR HSV-2 A FEW MONTHS AGO.
At first, Yes, I was devastated thinking I have an incurable STD for life. After doing hours of research I quickly realized genital herpes is a filthy parasite that just likes to hide in your body. Yes, There’s no “medical cure” but that doesn’t mean your body can’t get rid of it. I literally flush it out of my system with the help of Doctor Azuka, A natural herbal medicine which I ordered after doing some research. And now I’m HSV-2 negative, I never believed it until my doctor finally gave me the test results and behold I was HSV-2 free. I’m so glad that I found you, Doctor Azuka. Thanks so much for your goodness I’m grateful. You can also get your help from him through his
