Event Details
Dear Sir/Madam,
We are open for change - You too?
We are glad to invite you to join us at the Open Data for Development Camp 2012 in Nairobi. On the 27th and the 28th of June 2012. We have organized a 2-day conference about Open Data and Open International Development.
The Open Data for Development Camp is organized by ICT Board Kenya, Kenya Open Data Initiative, Open for Change, World Bank, NaiLab, @iLabAfrica, Akvo, 1%CLUB, Hivos, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, and Development Gateway.
Open Data for Development Camp 2012
The Open Data for Development Camp is part of The Kenya Open Data Pre-Incubator Program. This is a six-month experiment to help accelerate the ability for the public to make sense of data and to galvanize engagement around critical public issues.
We bring together a diverse group of policy-makers, academia, development aid workers, researchers, journalists, ICT-staff and software developers active in the field of Open Development Data. The aim is to share experiences and networks, build tools, and show the power of Open Data.
So, let’s take Open Development to the next level. Come and explore the full potential of Open Data and its implications for international cooperation!
Program
The Open Data for Development Camp will take place at iLabAfrica at Strathmore University. We promise you a combination of: Keynote Speakers, Workshops, Best Practices, Speed Geeking, Hack Space, Networking, Exchange of knowledge and needs, Sharing Data Sets, Co-Creation, Open Data Visualizations, and Inspiration.
Come and join us!

Organizer
@iLabAfrica-Strathmore University
@iLabAfrica is a Centre of Excellence at Strathmore University with a focus on ICT Research & Innovation, and Entrepreneurship & Incubation.
@iLabAfrica has been established to spearhead research and innovation in the ICT for development ecosystem towards the attainment of the UNDP Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) and contribute toward Kenya’s Vision 2030. As a research centre dedicated to leveraging the benefits of innovations in ICT, promoting entrepreneurship through nurturing and mentoring of young innovators via adequate training programmes and incubation facilities, as well as promoting a conducive environment in Africa through policy research. Our main aim is to foster capacity development and to identify and support technological innovations that have the potential to become viable businesses and may have a social impact reaching the bottom of the pyramid. The centre also advises policy-makers on the policies that may be initiated to transform ICT into a genuine tool for sustainable development.
