Dear Madam/Sir, Please circulate to your contacts/staff
Greetings from The World Bank!
The World Bank's Public Information Center is pleased to organize a one day hands-on-training Workshop on `Open Data Development Initiatives’ of the World Bank on August 25, 2014 at its Library in The Hindustan Times Building.
The primary principle of the Open Data Development initiative is to make freely accessible Bank's knowledge on Open Data, Operations, Tools and Open solutions. The Bank facilitates all interested parties with accessible, easy-to-use data, and with unprecedented access to other information and documents. Broad access to these data allows citizens, CSOs, policy makers, advocacy groups and other stakeholders to make better-informed decisions and to measure improvements more accurately.
The World Bank’s Access to Information (AI) Policy represents a fundamental shift in the Bank’s approach to making information publicly available. The Bank’s Open Data, Open Finances, Geomapping, Open Knowledge Repository (OKR) and other platforms and open tools represent its efforts to foster transparency and openness.
This one day hands-on-training on `Open Data Development Initiatives’ has thus been planned to raise awareness and ensure that citizens and beneficiary communities learn to use the policy and open tools to access timely and relevant information and data on Bank-financed projects and make the Open Agenda to be better known among academics, researchers, CSOs, and policymakers in country.
