Today, a final session was held that involved data journalism, particularly as it relates to the goal of having an Open Government Ecosystem in Belize. But what does that mean? According to Local Coordinator, Henry Wade, it is a system that encourages direct and constant communication between government departments and civil society and citizens to promote transparency and democracy. So it should help with public policies and best practices on accountability and ease of access to public information. Wade says that media professionals play an integral role in the process attaining an open government ecosystem.
