Digital Diplomacy – Presentation of Digital Award for Transparency (Paris, 8 December 2017)
In line with the Open Government Partnership global summit, which France co-chaired in December 2016, the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs launched a Digital Award for Transparency competition last September in partnership with the NGO Transparency International, the French media cooperation agency CFI, and the French civic technology incubator Liberté Living Lab.
During a closing ceremony to be held on December 8, awards will be bestowed on the six best digital tools developed by civil society to eliminate corruption, wherever it may be found.
This prize aims to strengthen and promote current initiatives supporting democratic governance in French-speaking developing countries, in three categories: Open Data; Citizen Monitoring; and Digital Anti-Corruption Tools.
