The event which will be held at the iSpace office is for both data miners and data analysts who will work to analyze the Ghana’s budget to enable citizens to have a better understanding.
A press release issued by BudgIT stated that Hackathon will also offer data geeks and will afford participants a chance to brainstorm and give ideas, data analysis skills, experience community synergy and network with other data analysts.
According to the release, data, when graphically represented, is better assimilated and retained by its target audience than data that is simply presented in its normal state.
“Thus, as stated above, one of the ways through which we try to encourage participatory governance among our people is by taking seemingly complex data and simplifying them by means of infographics,” it said.
