We know transparency isn't easy, but you showed your commitment by signing Jamaica up for the @opengovpart. Civil society is here to help, and we think we can, says SlashRoots' @mamcnaughton.

Jamaica became a signatory to the Open Government Partnership back in 2016. Today we are here raising awareness with our civil society partners about what exactly the OGP is and how we can play a role in its implementation #OGPJamaica

[SlashRoots @Slash_roots]

Most Jamaicans aren’t familiar with the term “Open Government”.

But ask if they’d like GoJ to be more transparent, most might say ”YES!”

That’s why NGOs are collaborating to help ensure GoJ meets its commitments to become more open.

Monique Long from @JAForJustice explains milestones and challenges with Open Government in Jamaica.

@LexGoffe is making a documentary about the Armadale Fire, highlighting difficulties getting Gov’t to release info about the tragic death of 7 girls in state care. #OGPjamaica

[SlashRoots @Slash_roots]

Not all govt agencies provide their data in open format. Luckily apps like Tabula and Amcharts allow us to easily export and visualize. @doyenwilliams currently showing us how at the Meet Up.

Its not about tech or data, it’s about social change. Tech is just a tool. Its not about #ScalingCivicTech but about making tech useful for people co-creating local solutions to governance problems #OGPGeorgia
