hnology and social media are playing an important role in making informatio=
n more accessible, holding leaders and decision makers accountable, and mob=
ilizing citizens to participate and have their say.
But are these groups talking to each other? How do grassroots initiatives s=
hape and feed into larger scale efforts and vice versa? What can existing e=
fforts learn from these new entrants? What lessons and good practices learn=
ed over the years, should be upheld? Or discarded? What technology tools be=
st support work in this area? What are the risks and challenges? Where the=
re are gaps and opportunities? And what are the best approaches for donors =
and key decision makers in the field?
We'll have two lead discussants start the conversation on these issues:
