#OpenData is an incredibly powerful aid to community development and with the launch of the English version of #ODFA we created with @SmartCountryDE, #LocalGov across the country can unlock its potential.

It's here, the #ODFA toolkit is available in English.

Commissioned by @BertelsmannSt's @SmartCountryDE project and originally in German, this downloadable workshop will help you to learn about #OpenData from a blank canvas & use it for #SocialGood.

🇲🇰🇽🇰 | Check out Nathan's article @theRSAorg on what we found out when we worked with the brilliant @OpenDataKosovo & @fmeta on open data outreach and NGOs.

Could data help us fight the infodemic around #Covid19?

🇽🇰🇲🇰 | We recently did a series of workshops with @OpenDataKosovo & @fmeta on improving #OpenData takeup from NGOs in the region.

NU is 5 this month!

To celebrate, we will be launching a new volunteer-led research platform looking at #GovData policy & encouraging NGOs to use it.

Called #GovDataLabs, It will have its own platform, but for now, here's something to wet your whistle!
