STRUCTURESDISRUPING POWER

@opencorporates

Corrupt power structures grow in closed systems. OpenCorporates has become the blockchain of

information - connecting companies to each other, to government contracts, to state-owned companies, and to who ultimately controls them. But this data is

either in silos of government and aid agencies or isn’t being collected & published. To win the battle

against closed, we need to come together to unlock, capture & publish company information.

Will governments and aid agencies can start collecting data on procurement, contract and company control to map these power networks? While transparency &

open data can’t put an end to corruption, it can create an atmosphere that is hostile to corruption.

Build With Not For

BY HACKING ITTOGETHER

RESULT? An immense learning experience

for policy experts opening their minds to the beauty & value of collaboration

with citizens, survivors, NGOs & ‘non-experts’.

6 ideas. 1 prototype.

The winning team is still active & is planning to iterate their prototype

with (not for) critically resource-constraint Lebanese NGOs

UK 30% cut in funding for legal aid

- Cut in funding for domestic violence services

- 60% women don’t have enough evidence to qualify

for legal aid

And this is just what the situation looks like for women in UK - a ‘developed’ country.

Imagine the millions of women without access to justice around the world.

How is that a bunch of volunteers & survivors were able to build this with £300 in 2 months

and organisations receiving millions in aid money don’t?

How can we create a cultural shift so that all funders require investee's to openly license all resources? And build with - not for their

‘beneficiaries’?
