For Analysis & Visualisation

LINK WITH OTHER DATAOxfam Novib's mission is to overcome poverty. But does Oxfam Novib really work in the world's poorest countries? A quick analysis based on its IATI open data & the World Development Index.

For Analysis & Visualisation

• Inclusion / ‘digital divide’How do you make sure you reach those ‘without access’

• Technology push or demand driven?(Still) Many projects start with technology in mind

Challenges

The Open Development movement is a learning community:

• Sharing resources, e.g. https://responsibledata.io

• Sharing knowledge through events & online, e.g. http://opendevelopmentcamp.org and http://okfestival.org

Learning community...

• There’s something going on

• In fact it’s more than one ‘thing’…

• and it’s changing development cooperation

• Why ‘Open’ is important…

• So stop hiding your ‘gold’!!

• There’s a community you can connect with

• That will help you overcome the difficult parts
