Using Data for Investigations: #PanamaPapers and Beyond
The Hacks/Hackers community in Nairobi meets monthly to discuss pertinent issues, brainstorm and collaborate on plausible solutions.

In the past year or so, 400 journalists from more than 100 media orgs in 80+ countries worked on #PanamaPapers, an epoch-making investigation that revealed the offshore links of some of the globe’s most prominent figures. You can read more about the global investigation here (http://goo.gl/NX9YaR) and about investigations across Africa here (http://bit.ly/PanamaPapersANCIR). ANCIR and our friends at Code For Africa (https://codeforafrica.org) played a major role in the year-long investigation in 16 African countries.

This Friday, 22nd April 2016, #HHNBO will pay homage to some of the journalists that worked on the #PanamaPapers investigative pieces on Kenya . How did they get involved? What challenges did they face? What opportunities exist for other journalists and technologists to be part of such investigations? What fruit has come out of such leaks?

Come learn, question and interact with our panel from 5.00pm as we discuss the #PanamaPapers investigation and find opportunities for us to plug in and make a difference.

The event will be held at the Nairobi Garage (http://www.nairobigarage.com) along Ngong Road.

Space is limited, RSVP below to attend and invite a friend.

See you on Friday!
