Data and Development
March 2, 2015
Cartoon by Fadi Abou Hassan.
Our latest cartoon project is a partnership with Data-Pop Alliance, a think tank on Big Data. The think tank was co-founded by Emmanuel Letouzé, who is also a cartoonist that contributes to our site. We have set up a project newsroom to create cartoons for the Cartagena Data Festival (April 20-22, 2015 in Colombia). The goal of the festival is to stir discussions and connections in the data (open data, big data, official statistics) and development community, to lay out the opportunities and challenges, risks and requirements, of leveraging the new data ecosystem to foster human development.
Cartoons will help foster these discussions and debates. The Cartagena Data Festival will feature an exhibition of the best cartoons submitted here. Take a look at the submissions here.
