Hacking and international aid are two concepts not normally associated together. But this past weekend 45 people did just that. They mixed technical capabilities with a need to easily access Canadian and international development aid information around the world.
Working with public data banks, the international aid hackathon organized by Citizen Attaché citoyen, created some prototype tools for accessing and collating information in many different data banks.
RCI’s Wojtek Gwiazda spoke to Ian Froude about the hackathon. Froude is the Director of Citizen Attaché citoyen at Engineers Without Borders Canada, and one of the organizers of the hackathon.
