182 women and 252 men from different sectors trained on how to use data to advocate for change by understanding the world we live in better;<\/b><\/p>\n
More than 7000 individuals engaged by the Lab and our partners in disseminating information on how open data can be used to effect social change.<\/b><\/p>\n
These are but a few of the numbers characterising our accomplishments in the last 12 months.<\/p>\n
Officially launched in February 2015, the Jakarta Lab has been engaging with different stakeholders \u2013 from governments to civil society organisations, media, researchers, businesses, tech communities, and many others. Our work is informed by a strategy workshop convened in February 2015<\/a> and participated in by 36 representatives from different sectors and 11 countries in the Asia-Pacific region.<\/p>\n Since the Lab\u2019s inception in 2014, we\u2019ve implemented 10 projects covering research, social innovation, and capacity building. We\u2019ve conducted studies on open contracting<\/a>, financial statements of public officials<\/a>, and open data in sub-national contexts. We are currently working with partners in 4 countries in the region to link parliamentarians + citizens + ministries on open data in Nepal<\/a>, connect follow-the-money communities in the Philippines<\/a>, assess the possibilities of transitioning smart cities to open cities in Indonesia<\/a>, and use citizen-generated data in Malaysia<\/a> to help solve information scarcity in constrained contexts.<\/p>\n All these, but also more than the numbers, stories of change have inspired us to continue our work in testing approaches to hasten or increase access, understanding, and dissemination of open data to achieve wider impact:<\/p>\n In the coming years, we will continue collecting these numbers and the stories that come with them, as we continue to pursue our vision and role in the region. Follow us, our growth, and our stories on Twitter @ODLabJkt<\/a>, or visit our blog<\/a> and project<\/a> pages regularly for updates.<\/p>\n Talk to us personally and join us this Friday, 4 March 2015, as we celebrate Open Data Day 2016<\/a>. Aside from members of the team, you\u2019ll also meet many of our partners, hear about their interesting endeavours, and learn from them firsthand through the afternoon workshops.
