WHAT’S HAPPENING
⚡️ Winners from our last Hackcorruption event are touching down in Indonesia this week for a ...3-day bootcamp! They'll be working together to present how far they've come and improve their anti-corruption tech tools.
In anticipation of this week's bootcamp, we caught up with one of last year's winning teams from Paraguay to hear about the progress of their procurement data tool, Keyping.
Keyping decodes public procurement data to provide access to citizens, journalists, researchers, and government leaders. Since Hackcorruption Colombia last year the team has been building on their visualizations and cleaning and adding data from multiple Central and South American countries. So far the team has integrated data from Paraguay and will soon add Peru, Panama, and Guatemala. They hope to add Colombia and Mexico as well as internationally sanctioned companies and individuals.
The team is most excited about the progress of the tool's visualizations, which makes it easier for users to spot anomalies and red flags in the procurement process.
"We haven't found a site that integrates all the data in the same place. It's difficult to do, but worth it. You can find the person, the entities, the sanctions against the person, the procurement of that person. All the information about that one person on one site"
Congratulations to Rodrigo Villalba, Karen Riveros, and Beatriz Vierci on their incredible progress.
We can't wait to see what this week's bootcamp brings!

🗺 Our cohort of young changemakers has mapped the way forward for their initiatives in a joint ...online session.
They answered the 'why' of their projects and organizations, how they relate to the challenges they wish to solve, and identified important stakeholders.
In the run-up to the following session the cohort will work on their purpose, objectives, and goals, then prepare to share it with the rest of the cohort. AL will be holding smaller group sessions to support the process.

#democracydelivers with @USAIDDRG and @FordFoundation at #SkollWF- the always brilliant @aeyakuze ...on positive vs negative agency. We as citizens can't be lulled by autocrats into thinking they will deliver- they won't. We need to exercise our agency to ensure #accountability.
With @blairglencorse, OGP co-chair, Founder @AccountLab, and so much more 🙂

🎙🤔 Fariha, Tamima, and Manish all had some questions.
Fariha wants to know why young... people should not be front and center of climate policy when they will be most affected by climate change.
Tamima explores how survivors of gender-based violence can be better supported.
Manish asks how civic leadership and anti-corruption values can be instilled in society from earlier on so that by the time children are responsible for running society, they fully embody a culture of accountability.
These passionate young changemakers have a range of answers to these questions, so if you've been asking them yourself, give them a listen on our latest podcast episode: https://spoti.fi/3TQOFEz
