Accra, Ghana 24th May, 2017. Ghana has been selected to host the
second Africa Open Data Conference (AODC) in July 2017. The four-day conference
will be held at the Accra International Conference Centre from 17 – 21 July
2017.
The
first edition of the AODC
was organized by the Africa Open Data Collaborative in September 2015 in
Tanzania hosted by the Government of Tanzania and its people and supported by
the World Bank, Code for Africa, Global Open Data for Agriculture &
Nutrition initiative, Worldwide Web Foundation, MCC, and numerous other
partners.
The 2017 Africa Open Data Conference in
Accra, Ghana is set to attract over 600 delegates drawn from all over Africa
and the world at large. This auspicious event will push the leadership role of
the private sector in supplying, using, and demanding open data, and bring
together brilliant innovators and visionaries to grow their networks, hone
their success, and connect with sources of support, and introduce investors and
donors to an expanding sector that seeks and supplies open data to achieve
development goals in Africa and across the globe.
Ghana is part of the Africa open data
Community and signed unto the Open Government Partnership in September 2011,
which sparked off a quest for Ghana to open-up its government data with some data
now available at www.data.gov.gh
