Networked auditors: crowdsourcing and community-led ATI


Listen Later

Discover how three organisations are using crowdsourcing and Access to Information laws to uncover data, monitor public projects, and drive accountability.

Access to Information (ATI) is the more internationally-recognised term for FOI or FOIA. Its laws make it possible to piece together insights from many different public authorities, creating a fuller picture of how decisions are made and resources are used.

This session explores how ATI empowers communities, volunteers, and civil society groups to use information requests to assemble datasets, track public projects, and enhance accountability through collective inquiry.

Hear from three projects that have turned transparency into a community effort with fantastic results! We’ve got fantastic speakers from across the globe:

  • Nnenna Eze from PPDC Nigeria
  • Marzena Błaszczyk from Citizens Network Watchdog Poland
  • Stefan Wehrmeyer from FragDenStaat in Germany
  • Definitions:

    • MDA – Ministries, Departments, and Agencies
    • DEX – Digital Employee Experience
