The team effectively communicated with 321,000 people in the greater Accra region to make them aware of local development projects funded by government oil revenue. They also provided the means and motivation for over 20,000 citizens to monitor these projects and push for greater government transparency and engagement... > <https://makingallvoicescount.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d1330db30dd9f99566ba5be55&id=ccca11f8f1&e=8fda1d39d0> *"Now we understand why we should influence the allocation of resources and monitor the implementation.

In four villages in the East and Central Java provinces, villagers used the Game My Village platform to produce photography, statistics and digital village maps that illustrate their issues of concern... <https://makingallvoicescount.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d1330db30dd9f99566ba5be55&id=bb30a46b84&e=8fda1d39d0> > <https://makingallvoicescount.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d1330db30dd9f99566ba5be55&id=dd99b3a993&e=8fda1d39d0> *"The use of Game My Village emboldens the villagers to provide information and clarification on the map and objects displayed on the platform. They have learned that their demands must be based on data and strong evidence. It is no longer having the loudest voice in the room that counts." - Development Planning Official, Bojonegoro District* [image: TIMBY] <https://makingallvoicescount.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d1330db30dd9f99566ba5be55&id=79e67b03cf&e=8fda1d39d0> *TIMBY: Evidence-based reporting of environmental crimes in Liberia* <https://makingallvoicescount.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d1330db30dd9f99566ba5be55&id=9fd273ccce&e=8fda1d39d0> Working with Liberian citizens, This Is My Backyard (TIMBY) managed to get 60 forestry utilisation contracts cancelled, highlight millions of dollars of misspent county social development funds, and most recently unearth a 10.5 million dollar scandal, where corporate funding didn’t go through government accounts. TIMBY greatly enhanced citizens’ capacity and confidence to engage both government and companies regarding their communities’ land rights, livelihoods and resources... > <https://makingallvoicescount.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d1330db30dd9f99566ba5be55&id=87781a27d2&e=8fda1d39d0> *"When we confront the companies, we have harder evidence to show them. They are more cooperative than they would be otherwise. Good quick data helps us to get authorities to move faster to investigate claims." - Sustainable Development Institute* <https://makingallvoicescount.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d1330db30dd9f99566ba5be55&id=d674c1db53&e=8fda1d39d0> Facebook <https://makingallvoicescount.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d1330db30dd9f99566ba5be55&id=43e2251984&e=8fda1d39d0> <https://makingallvoicescount.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d1330db30dd9f99566ba5be55&id=d345af20c7&e=8fda1d39d0> Twitter <https://makingallvoicescount.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d1330db30dd9f99566ba5be55&id=04e829aab7&e=8fda1d39d0> <https://makingallvoicescount.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d1330db30dd9f99566ba5be55&id=f26ed95749&e=8fda1d39d0> Website <https://makingallvoicescount.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d1330db30dd9f99566ba5be55&id=080480e43c&e=8fda1d39d0> <i...@makingallvoicescount.org> Email <i...@makingallvoicescount.org> This email was sent to cl...@e-democracy.org *why did I get this?* <https://makingallvoicescount.us5.list-manage.com/about?u=d1330db30dd9f99566ba5be55&id=a373640f38&e=8fda1d39d0&c=2391f53a61> unsubscribe from this list <https://makingallvoicescount.us5.list-manage.com/unsubscribe?u=d1330db30dd9f99566ba5be55&id=a373640f38&e=8fda1d39d0&c=2391f53a61> update subscription preferences <https://makingallvoicescount.us5.list-manage.com/profile?u=d1330db30dd9f99566ba5be55&id=a373640f38&e=8fda1d39d0> Hivos · Raamweg 16 <https://maps.google.com/?q=Raamweg+16+%C2%B7+Den+Haag,+Zuid-Holland+2596+HL+%C2%B7+Netherlands&entry=gmail&source=g>· Den Haag, Zuid-Holland 2596 HL <https://maps.google.com/?q=Raamweg+16+%C2%B7+Den+Haag,+Zuid-Holland+2596+HL+%C2%B7+Netherlands&entry=gmail&source=g>· Netherlands <https://maps.google.com/?q=Raamweg+16+%C2%B7+Den+Haag,+Zuid-Holland+2596+HL+%C2%B7+Netherlands&entry=gmail&source=g> ―― View topic http://groups.dowire.org/r/topic/J00cbX5cYCdfrVgtpbUuI Leave group mailto:newswire@groups.dowire.org?subject=Unsubscribe
