On the World Bank blogsite a special online event has just been hosted, a LIVEBLOG (3 October, 2011) on the role of Open Government Data in developing countries.
The Open Government Data (OGD) was launched by President Obama and 45 other Heads of States and other leaders on September 20th in New York City at the sidelines of UN General Assembly, marking the beginning of a new phase in government transparency, accountability, and citizen participation. Open Government Data initiatives are seen as a key element of open government agenda, and have been adopted by a number of governments around the world, and increasingly developing countries are embarking on these initiatives and are asking World Bank for support.
Case studies from Kenya and Moldova about their groundbreaking open government initiatives supported by the World Bank have been analyzed as well.

Promoted by the cultural association Askavusa, the purpose of the third edition of LAMPEDUSAINFESTIVAL – “Festival of Migrations and the Recovery of Oral History”, from 19 to 23 July 2011, Lampedusa (Italy) – is to give space and visibility to international works (fiction or documentaries) that tell stories of people. In a historic moment in which there are many debates about issues that seemed to have been solved by the Italian country (the rights of workers, the role of women in society) and full of new instances to wonder about (the revolts against the authoritarian and corrupt regimes, the attitude of the new/old Europe towards migratory flows, the value of the culture and the state of the artistic and environmental Italian heritage), we think that we should look at the faces, learn the names e know the stories of the people who are – voluntarily or not – leading actors in history.
