[FoME] Open Aid Data Event Berlin: Conference, Schulung zur Datenanalyse and Hackday

Di Jul 12 12:27:08 CEST 2011

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren
OpenAid, Transparency International 
Deutschland, die Open Knowledge Foundation Deutschland und die Heinrich 
Böll Stiftung laden ein zu einem internationalen zweitägigen Event zu 
offenen Daten und Transparenz in der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit. 
Zielgruppe sind MitarbeiterInnen von EZ Organisationen, Wissenschaftler 
und entwicklungspolitische Berater, Parlamentarier und Journalisten. 
Neben einem Konferenztag am 29.9. werden eine Schulung zur Nutzung von 
Daten und ein Hackday am 28.9. angeboten.

Ziel ist vor allem eine
 Auseinandersetzung mit dem Potential das offene Daten für die EZ und 
die Wirksamkeit der Entwicklungshilfe bieten. Insbesondere der Transparenz Standard der International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) wird näher beleuchtet. Transparenz wird eines der
 wichtigen Themen des nächsten OECD High Level Forum on Aid 
Effectiveness in Südkorea im November sein und diese Veranstaltung soll 
helfen, dieses Thema stärker in die entwicklungspolitische 
Fachöffentlichkeit zu tragen.  

Die offizielle Einladung finden Sie im Anhang sowie unten. Anmeldungen sind hier möglich.

Mit freundlichen Grüssen
Claudia Schwegmann

Join us at the Open Aid Data Event in Berlin - 28th and 29th of September 2011:
A Hackday, Data Training and Conference to promote Open Data and Transparency in development cooperation!

29.9.2011
- Open Aid Data Conference

Training
on Data Analysis for NGO policy staff (aidinfo)

Hackday
to develop data applications based on aid data (OKF)
Berlin,
Schumannstraße 8, 10117 Berlin 

“Transparency
and accountability are essential elements for development results.

They lie at the heart of the Paris Declaration (AAA
24).”
Aid
Transparency will be high in the agenda at the High
Level Meeting on Aid Effectiveness in Busan
and most donors, NGOs and partner countries agree that transparency
is important. But what exactly
do we mean by transparency? Currently there are very diverse opinions
as to the extent and the form of information bilateral donors and
NGOs should publish. While major donors like the Worldbank, the EC,
Sweden and the British Department for International Development call
for the publication of standardised and open data through the
International
Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI)
others are questioning how more data will lead to a substantial
improvement of aid effectiveness or how the IATI standard applies to
NGOs.

Transparency
is not only an issue of aid effectiveness. In recent months
governments in donor countries (e.g. UK and Canada) and in aid
recipient countries (e.g. Kenya and Timor l'Este) adopted open data
strategies. Public administrations around the world are gaining
valuable experiences about the political, economic and social value
of open data. What can aid agencies learn from open data experiences
in other public sectors? 

To
answer these questions and to stimulate the debate on aid
transparency and open data you are invited to two-day Open Aid
Data event in Berlin.
At
the Open Aid Data conference experts and practitioners will explore
the potential of open data for improved feedback processes, donor
coordination, accountability and effective aid. Representatives from
NGOs and government agencies will share their experience of opening
up their data. Exciting open data examples from other sectors will
illustrate the added value of open data in development cooperation. 

Registration
for the event is now open here.
Please find the detailed programme of the conference below. For
further information please contact claudia.schwegmann at openaid.de
or loeschmann at boell.de

We
are looking forward to meet you in Berlin!
