[Hamzat B. Lawal]

‎Thanks for sharing Jed, my colleague Oludotun Babayemi who would be in Berlin for OKFest would be happy to attend and share our work on (Follow The Money - www.followthemoneyng.org ) influencing policies in communities and national level while encouraging citizen engagements on open data and holding policy makers to account.  

Best,
Hamzy!

Hello, all,

Glad to be linked up with friends and colleagues here.

I've included a short self-introduction below, but am writing to seek your
availability and interest in a working session this Friday in Berlin, for
groups focused on linking datasets from multiple sources in order to
"Follow the Money" for greater accountability and real policy change.

With Alan Hudson and the Follow the Money network (
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/FTM_network), we're proposing this
session as a morning breakout during the Fringe Event day following OKFest.

If you are working to link and "join-up" data to turn interoperability into
powerful advocacy, it's a chance to share our projects and see where the
overlaps and potential advocacy and data linkages are.

The draft session plan is attached and open for comment on a Google doc.
We've also linked it on the hackpad for Friday's Fringe Event, below:

Follow the Money Working Session Draft doc:

Please take a look and let us know your interest and availability during
the Friday agenda. You can also share comments in the Google doc.

Looking forward to seeing you in Berlin and at the session!

With thanks,

Jed Miller
