I would like first to acknowledge that mobile phone technologies have taken Africa by storm. The technology has raised new possibilities for activism by human rights and social justice organisations and for service delivery in fields such as health care, banking and agricultural information. The online discussion on the Use of Mobile Phones for Action enabled those using mobile phone technologies in activism or service delivery work to exchange their experiences of using the technology in a global context and plan strategies to support their work. The online dialogue explored areas related to the use of mobile technology in the African context, future trends, best practice and available tools and resources. My personal experience when we first launched the Voicesofafrica project exposed me to opportunities in promoting press freedom and at the same time enhance my advocacy skills. The other intresting opportunity was presented in the case of Bama where human rights activists and social organizers captured images of police engaging in brutality and other related human rights abuses. The eye witness accounts presented the power of using mobile phones to advocate for action. In Kenya, the citizen reporter used mobile phones to document how the police broke up peaceful protests and captured the people's determination to press for action following the desputed December 27 presidentuial election. The online dialogue was a 'round table' forum for sharing tactical experiences and strategic planing.
