Dear all,

I am working on a project called "Strengthening of capacities to Developing Countries to provide Access to Information for Sustainable Development through Open Government Data".

The project is coordinated by the Division for Public Administration and Development (DPADM) United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) in partnership with governments and other organizations. More information about the project: bit.ly/DPADM-OGDProject
