A New Development Gateway
Development Gateway is proud to announce the publication of its 2012-2014 Annual Report!
As the letter from Board Chair Mary O’Kane illustrates:
The global development conversation has evolved considerably in the last couple of years; calls for greater transparency and active citizen participation grow ever louder. As a social enterprise dedicated to building practical tools that turn information into opportunities for people to lead better lives, Development Gateway (DG) welcomes the new emphasis on open data as a catalyst for building a better world. To answer the UN Secretary General’s call for a post-2015 “data revolution,” DG has transformed itself over the past three years to meet the open data challenge.
Read more about DG’s transformation by downloading the report, viewing it online, or visiting us at the OpenGov Hub for a hardcopy.
