[OpenSpending] Caring For My Neighbourhood - Geolocating Public Spending In Brazil

[Lucy Chambers]

Hi All,

Just thought I would bring to your attention a really smart looking
project coming out of Brazil. It's called 'Caring For My
Neighbourhood' and researchers from the University of Sao Paolo and
members of OKFN Brazil, have been working to geo-locate public
spending in Sao Paolo.

Gisele da Silva Craveiro, one of the people behind the project has
very kindly written a description of the project for the OpenSpending
blog:

The post is also available in Portuguese on the OKFN-Br blog:

Gisele should be joining us for a panel on citizen engagement with
public spending at OKFest, so we look forward to hearing more from
her!

Lucy
