| Description |
Three young 'hackers' at the Co-Creation Hub in Lagos, busy at work trying to turn complex trade and development data into easy-to-understand web sites, visualisations and mobile applications. The Department for International Development's Trade Policy team recently ran a pilot project called the DFID Data Challenge 2012 Trade Transparency Initiative, involving the Co-Creation Hub in Nigeria, a similar 'social innovation' centre called R-Labs in Capetown, and the London-based Re-Wired State organisation. Teams of web and software developers, designers and analysts in each location volunteered their time for two days, were given the same sets of trade and development data, and challenged to come up with innovative ideas to help explain that complex data to the public. The project aimed to explore the relationship between trade tariffs on basic goods in different countries and the retail prices of those goods on the street. The results of the 'trade hacks' can be seen on the Rewired State website at hacks.rewiredstate.org/events/dfiddc2012, and some of them will be profiled at Open Up!, a conference that DFID is hosting with Omidyar Network and Wired Magazine in London on 13 November, bringing technology, innovation and open government together.
