Tarek
SJAC's IT Manager "Tarek" will present Bayanat. He manages SJAC's Data Analysis team and assists in creating and testing new features in Corroborator, Bayanat's precursor. In late 2019 he took an active role in the management of SJAC's IT activities and has since overseen the development of Bayanat.
Session
The session will introduce participants to Bayanat, an open-source data management software created by Syrians for use in human rights scenarios. It seeks to empower users with free software that can be self-managed and is designed to work in Arabic - not merely translated into the language. At the end of the session, tech-savy participants will be capable of installing an instance of Bayanat for their own testing/use. Others will have the opportunity to further engage with SJAC should they require assistance.
