How can this work?

Create online communities around individual projects in social media networks

Invite local feedback on projects through personal contacts of migrants

Mobilise migrant organisations in Europe to monitor aid going into their home area

Provide standard tools to visualise IATI data, to mash-up with other data and to gather feedback (Facebook apps, Drupal Moduls, Twitter apps)

Connect online and offline debate and activities
