Ujima Project - Website for investigative reporting for Africa
Posted by Ingrid Thomson | 17 Sep, 2009The Ujima Project website "offers African journalists, nongovernmental organizations and others seeking factual data access to information that is not readily available in many African countries." This information comes via documents, databases and other sources from donor countries, using "reverse transparency."
According to the Ujima Project website, information on the site comes from governmental or international NGO sources, by trawling governement websites and using open records laws to obtain information.
The Ujima Project was unveiled at the recent Highway Africa Conference.
