[ddj] Mapping and monitoring lobbying activities and networks of power in Spain - The Civio Foundation

[Peralta Ramos Momi (Gerente de Desarrollo Multimedia)]

Excelent initiative ! Congratulations to the outstanding Civio team!

The same is needed in Argentina for the sake of citizens and journalism... and democracy.

Corruption is killing people here too. 

Best, from Buenos Aires

Hi,

My name is Javier de Vega. We at the Civio Foundation (Spain /
www.civio.es) are about to investigate, map and monitor relations of power, lobbying activities and the (frequent) collision of public and private interests in Spain.

We already now some approaches in different countries -like the great work behind Poderopedia (Chile) or the classic They Rule (USA)-.
Global Integrity has recently endorsed our proposal for the Testing
123 Innovation Fund, and will invest in it [1]. We called it "Quién manda" (Hidden Agenda, in English). Besides the research and data visualization, we will collaboratively gather pictures of meetings, trade missions, diplomatic receptions, etc, in order to wrap data collections with a more visual and user-engaging layer for users who are not addicted to political-financial information.

Adding gamification dynamics and crowdsourcing features will be part of our challenge. Your feedback on our initial approach would be hugely appreciated:

If someone out there has experience, suggestions or stories to share we'd love to hear about them. Also about benchmarks or failures on this area.

Thanks in advance, and best regards form Spain,

Javier
