People

Making aid information accessible isn’t really about data files and formats and technology. It’s about people. It’s about the difference that accessible, transparent aid information can make to the process of development, and to the lives of individuals and communities across the world.

This section of aidinfo labs will put people at the heart of what we are doing. We’ll be profiling key infomediaries working to make aid data accessible, sharing research and reports into the people who need accessible aid information, and developing the ‘open personae’ project – curating a collection of resources for user-centred design around aid transparency data.
