Hi Maurice,

I'm forwarding your request to a few people in our network who might have
more precise information:

collection, government budget/service delivery performance monitoring. In a
nutshell, where mobile phones are being used to demand better governance.

Do you know of, have examples you could share on civic engagement in
promoting transparency and accountability?>

Hi Maurice,

Thanks for those documents

I don't know his email, but it would seem this guy should know:

http://delicious.com/citizentools

See http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/06/the-four-pillars-of-an-open-ci.html for
a good typology of 'open civic systems'

I keep such material here at http://p2pfoundation.net/Category:Politics and
via the tag http://del.icio.us/mbauwens/Open-Government and
http://del.icio.us/mbauwens/Transparency

Perhaps by combining these tags with
http://delicious.com/mbauwens/Mobile-Developments. you should be able to
identify the open-gov/transparent initiatives regarding mobile

Unfortunately, I specifically exclude mobile telephony from my field of
vision, because I have to pose some limits to what I'm following ...
