Mon Nov 17 13:29:56 UTC 2014

Dear all,

I am just starting to work as a consultant with on a project that aims to strengthening of capacities of 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 (UN DESA) in partnership with governments and other organizations.

The objective of the project is to demonstrate the potential and benefits of using Open Government Data (OGD) in advancing transparency, accountability and sustainable development in selected countries of Latin America and East Asia regions, currently identified to be Bangladesh, Nepal, Panama, and Uruguay.

So I am looking for contacts to people working on open government and open data related issues inside and outside government in those countries. I am specially interested to reach out to change agents within government and open data pioneers in civil society. I am also interested get in touch with country/domain experts on related issues such as freedom of information, transparency, accountability and citizen engagement.

If you know people I might be looking for please reach out contact me off-list.

Thanks in advance.

All the best
Daniel
