Receives Association for
Computing Machinery Humanitarian Award
AScribe Newswire (03/16/06)
ACM has named the project leaders of the Nakuru
Local Urban Observatory
(LUO) in Kenya as the winners of the 2005 Lawler
Award for Humanitarian
Contributions. Albrecht Ehrensperger of the Center
for Development and
Environment of the University of Berne, Switzerland,
and Solomon Mbuguah and
Ernest Siva of the Municipal Council of Nakuru will
receive the Eugene L.
Lawler Award for Humanitarian Contributions Within
Computer Science and
Informatics during the annual ACM Awards Banquet,
May 20, 2006, in San
Francisco. Through user-friendly software, the
Nakuru LUO project has
provided its Kenyan community with a spatial
information tool that is able
to store, retrieve, map, and analyze geographic
data. The community, which
has never had data on sanitation, water supply, and
other public facilities
before, is now able to use a global information
system (GIS) for town
planning initiatives. The geographical information
database, which can be
assessed at libraries, schools, and non-governmental
agencies, also serves
as a tool for obtaining local news and other
services. ACM introduced the
award, which includes a $5,000 prize, in 2000, and
it is given every two
years. For more information on the ACM Lawler Award
