SR-1563B In light of newfound crowdsourcing tools and relatively pervasive mobile phone and Internet connectivity, people are rapidly expanding the scope of opportunities that harness the power of the crowd. Organizations and individuals alike are developing platforms that allow the crowd to build social movements, organize disaster responses, and report on corruption. A most interesting evolution of crowdsourcing is matching, or routing, resources to the people and efforts that need them the most, in the moment they are needed. 3 8 | Resource Routing | Future Innovation © 2013 Institute for the Future for Rockefeller Foundation.

The idea is to use the crowd, from the village to the nation to the world, to map resources and send them where they are most needed. Catalysts for Change players challenged us to push crowdsourcing tools to the global limit. While many cards looked at platforms built and maintained by governments or non-profits, the addition of crowdsourcing mechanisms to these programs points to a potential for unprecedented power and outsized impact. Players suggested building platforms that would allow individuals to track local resources, skills, and jobs, and then possibly upload them to a global marketplace where these needs can be matched globally. The end goal is to build efficient crowdsourced resource-routing platforms for everything from natural resources to human resources and beyond. 4 8 | Resource Routing | From the Players © 2013 Institute for the Future for Rockefeller Foundation.

Today the network continues to grow with a standby team on Twitter, Facebook, Blackberry Messenger and Skype. #civsocial currently supports the government in policies around crises management, and has built Akendewa, the first tech hub in French-speaking Africa. 8 | Resource Routing | Signals from the Present #civsocial Image Source:
