mySociety seminar: Parliaments, People and Digital Development (House of Lords, London, UK)

November 21, 2018 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

  • FOME Symposium 2018: The Silent Takeover – Media Capture in the 21st Century (Berlin, Germany) »

On 21st November mySociety will host a seminar at the House of Lords exploring how digital tools are being used in Sub-Saharan Africa to bring parliaments and citizens closer together. During the seminar, they will launch their Parliaments and the People: Digital Democracy in Sub-Saharan Africa report, which presents the findings from an extensive and in-depth research study into digital democracy across Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa and Uganda. This research explores the use of digital channels and platforms in communicating political information in the region, and considers the implications for future development in digital and institution-building.

The report analyses the breadth of digital political engagement in the countries studied, and identifies key structural and cultural considerations that influence whether digital solutions to improving democratic engagement, transparency and accountability in governing institutions will be successful.

The seminar will bring together researchers, policy makers and practitioners to discuss how the insights from this and other work can be integrated into policy, engagement and future development work.

As capacity is limited, attendance to the event is by invitation only. If you’re interested in attending please email  to request an invite.mySociety seminar: Parliaments, People and Digital Development (House of Lords, London, UK)
