Retour aux sources, Datagora, France

By promoting the publications of producers of statistical data or public studies, Datagora aims to facilitate their accessibility, understanding and reuse in the public debate for and by all. To date, about forty partner institutes (e.g. INSEE, DARES, France Stratégie, OECD, CNIL, etc.) have joined the platform and feed it by administering their own page. Thus, Datagora allows organisations that are sometimes unknown to the general public to democratise and promote their publications, especially among a younger audience.

MIL Kyi (Just Ask), Media Information Literacy Project, Myanmar

The “Media Information Literacy Project” is called “MIL Kyi” which means “Just Ask” in Myanmar language. The project is developed in cooperation with Myanmar ICT for Development Organization and the Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB) with the objective to create and distribute digital content of “Media Literacy knowledge and skills” to the public across the country. Its goal is to raise public awareness of how misinformation and disinformation can be manipulated in the digital age. MIL Kyi produces a weekly video broadcast, which aims at disseminating basic media literacy skills (skills that lead to a better informed analysis of situations and decision making, based on critical thinking) to general public, especially youth.

AlGOVrithm, ePaństwo Foundation/CRTA, Poland

The alGOVrithms project identifies examples of algorithms used by public administration, describes how they work, verifies whether they have been introduced through legal regulations, checks how open and transparent they are and sees if there is any system in place that secures citizens’ rights against abuses committed by algorithms. Through fostering debate among stakeholders from academia, government and civil society (through press materials, consultations involving civil society organisations and press conference concluding the project’s findings), the initiative drives professional and public attention to the topic and encourages policymakers to understand the importance and the potential of algorithms in public administration. We have published the report “AlGOVrithms: State of Play” which summarizes findings and elaborated a separate document including the Policy Recommendations in English and each of the Partners’ languages.
