Gathering of a workshop
The conversation of Open Data looks like it is fading away, but in reality this is a discussion that we needs to be kept alive especially in Africa even as digitization of our Governments is taking center stage. How do we ensure that Open Data plays a key role to ensure the citizenry is able to keep Government on accountability toes. We will look at the impact of Open Data in the light of Government and how it ensures good governance is core.
We will ensure that we share the link for our session through our social media handles and other tools available to ensure both participation of onsite and online for the session.
