Summary:
"Ugandan Technology incubation, collaboration and innovation hub, Outbox has secured a USD 19,581 from Indigo Trust, a UK based grant making foundation that funds technology-driven projects to bring about social change, largely in African countries.
The funds which are meant to support Open Government initiatives will be used to launch Manifesto Tracker, a web based data management and visualization platform that leverages on open data to track electoral commitments and accomplishments by tracking each manifesto against its related project.
The platform, according to sources, will maintain a list of all Government and individual promises made to the public. Each promise will subsequently be tagged to a Government project or multiple projects that lists the timelines, resources and budget required to realize each project."
