On Thursday, 12 November, as part of CIUK’s Inclusive Governance workshop, we hosted a lunch-time panel on ICT as a tool in Governance. The panel session consisted of three external speakers presenting their programmatic work, followed by time for Q&A. Our panellists were Andrew Clarke, Associate of Governance & Citizen Engagement of the Omidyar Network UK; Dave Whiteland, International Team of mySociety; Mike Yates, Executive Director of OneWorld; and chaired by Ken Banks, Founder of kiwanja.net and CARE International’s current Entrepreneur in Residence. The panellists focused on their programming, innovative approaches, and key learnings on the use of ICT in for instance, parliamentary monitoring, civic education apps and other internet and mobile phone applications that the world’s poorest people can use to improve their life chances. The panel also provided insights into policy, advocacy strategy, and related investments for the global Governance & Citizen Engagement initiative.
