Reflections on the Data Governance Programme, 2 years on
Two years on, we are reflecting on what our joint data governance programme has achieved. Read, and let’s engage!
We envision a future with an open society that is managed by informed, fact-driven citizens.
This society features a responsive and accountable government that delivers the services its citizens need at the level of service they deserve.
It includes active non-state actors who play an active role in educating citizens on their role as responsible and active citizens safeguarding democracy and development.Our Mission is to collaborate with governments, citizens, civil society organisations and other players to develop policies, tools and knowledge that strengthen citizens’ voices in the governance and development in their societies.
On 13th June 2022 at 5pm EAT, we launched our new and improved survey tool via YouTube Live with Al Kags our Executive Director, John Mucheke our Tech lead and other special guests, who talked about the journey of how Sabasi was birthed and how it is currently being used.
Sabasi is a survey tool that can be used both on mobile or on desktop. It aids in simple data collection and is part of the greater ecosystem of Open County/Data Desk.
