</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">A notable event was held in celebration of Open Data Day 2018 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, </span><a href="https://okfn.org/network/ethiopia/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Open Knowledge Ethiopia</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> with the support of Addis Ababa University, Open Knowledge International and SPARC hosted </span><a href="https://www.opencon2017.org/opencon_2018_addis_ababa"><span style="font-weight: 400;">OpenCon 2018 Addis Ababa</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">
(a satellite event of the global annual OpenCon meeting). The event
brought together 25 participants including students, researchers,
academics and Librarians. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Open Data Day event in Ethiopia
was officially opened by Mr. Mesfin Gezahegn, University Librarian of
Addis Ababa University (AAU). He stressed that AAU strongly supports
open data initiatives and hosted various workshops and trainings in open
data, open access and open science. He also promised that the
University will continue supporting open data initiatives in the future.
Following the opening, Mr. Solomon Mekonnen of AAU introduced
participants to open science concepts with sharing international
initiatives related to open science that can also be applied in
Ethiopia. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The next talk was about open research
data by Dr. Melkamu Beyene, Assistant professor at AAU, focusing on the
advantages of opening research data and issues to be considered when
sharing data. The final presentation for the morning session was by Mr.
Mesfin Gezahegn on the role of open data to fight </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">corruption in
Ethiopia.</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Following the presentations, a panel
discussion was conducted mainly focusing on open science and open
research data. Major issues raised included licensing options when
sharing research data, policy for open research data, creating awareness
on open research data and open science and the role of open data
communities in pushing forward the agenda of open science. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">In the afternoon session, several open science tools were demonstrated to the participants, including </span><a href="https://zenodo.org/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Zenodo</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><a href="https://www.re3data.org/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">re3data</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><a href="https://orcid.org/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">ORCID</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and the </span><a href="https://osf.io/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Open Science Framework</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">
(OSF). There was also a session for lighting talks which attracted two
graduate students to talk about their research projects and get feedback
from the participants. Postgraduate students Yemaneberhan Lemma and
Olyad Fekede talked about their project on Linked data and Sentiment
Analysis respectively connecting with open data. Mr. Michael Melese who
is a PhD student at AAU also shared his experience on open science tools

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Finally the event was concluded by a
discussion on future activities. It was agreed that the event
successfully created awareness on open science and open research data,
but it was stressed that there is a need for longer training on these
topics to PhD students and early career researchers. It was also
suggested that there should be monthly open knowledge Ethiopia community
meetups to collaborate on open science issues that are raised in the
workshop. The only challenge faced during the workshop, was power
failure in the computer laboratory for some time in the middle of
running the practical sessions but the participants use their personal
laptop and smartphones to continue practicing on open science tools.</span></div>

<a href="http://blog.okfn.org/files/2016/03/Group-participants.jpg"><img alt="Group-participants" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-18211" src="http://blog.okfn.org/files/2016/03/Group-participants-1024x614.jpg" height="354" width="591" /></a><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">An open data interest group
representing 25 participants from universities, NGOs, CSOs and
government ministries attended an open data event on 5</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">th</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">
March, 2016, with theme “Raising Open Data awareness in the grass root
community of Ethiopia”. The event was organized by Code4Ethiopia and
Open Knowledge Ethiopia, with the support of Open Knowledge
International and Addis Ababa University, in connection with Open Data
Day which is a global celebration of openness.</span><br />
<br />
The event was opened by Mr. Mesfin Gezehagn, a University Librarian
at the Addis Ababa University (AAU). Mr. Mesfin briefed the participants
that Addis Ababa University has been providing training on open
research data and open science to postgraduate students and academicians
to see more researchers practicing open data sharing (making data free
to use, reuse, and redistribute) and open science (making scientific
research, data and other results and work flows available to all). He
also stated that the University collaborates with open data communities
like Open Knowledge Ethiopia and Code4Ethiopia.<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><img alt="group" class="size-large wp-image-18212 alignleft" src="http://blog.okfn.org/files/2016/03/group.jpg" height="150" width="150" />Mr.
Mesfin also informed the participants that AAU has started drafting a
policy to ensure mandatory submission of research data for researches
that are sponsored by the University to open the data to the public. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Following the opening, three of the
Cofounders of Code4Ethiopia (Solomon Mekonnen, Melkamu Beyene and
Teshome Alemu), and a Lecturer at the Department of Computer Science of
AAU (Desalegn Mequanint) presented discussion areas for participants.
The presentations were focused on Code4Ethiopia and Open Knowledge
Ethiopia Programmes , raising Open Data awareness to the grass root
Community of Ethiopia , open data experience in African countries, and,
social, cultural & economic factors affecting open data
implementation in the Ethiopia.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Following, the workshop was opened
for discussion by Daniel Beyene, co-founder of Code4Ethiopia. The
participants recommend that advocacy should be done from top to down
starting from the policy makers to grass root community of Ethiopia and
they also proposed that Code4Ethiopia and Open Knowledge Ethiopia in
collaboration international partners should organize a national
sensitization Open Data Hackathon to reach various stakeholders.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The workshop also identified
challenges in Ethiopia for open data implementation including lack of
awareness, absence of policy level commitment from governments and lack
of appropriate data science skills & data literacy. The participants
also selected data sets that need priority for the country’s
development and that interest the general public which includes budget
data, expenditure (accounts) data, census, trade information, election
data, health and educational data.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The workshop was concluded by
thanking our partners Open Knowledge International and Addis Ababa
University for their contribution to the success of the event. All of
the participants have also been invited to join Code4Ethiopia and the
Open Knowledge community. Most of the participants have agreed to join
these two communities to build open data ecosystem in Ethiopia. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Open Knowledge Ethiopia community was founded by
volunteer individuals from different Universities and Research Institutes to advocate for
Open Knowledge in Ethiopia. We have Librarians, Lecturers, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>ICT experts and data professionals in the
community. The community conducted its first meetup on 10, May 2015 and the
agenda was to get to know each other and to decide focus areas for the
community. After deliberating on different areas of Open Knowledge, the members
have decided to focus on Open Science and Open Data areas as some of the
community members have experience working with these domains. The community has
also planned activities that the community will engage for the next six months. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">We have
identified list of activities to engage for the Open Science. Since most of the
communities are lecturers in the Universities, the members agreed to make a
presentation on Open Science to their students and colleague scientist so as to
create awareness on open Science including opening research</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> publications , research data, figures, models, algorithms, software, tools, notebooks,
laboratory designs and so on.
Member from the library have agreed to include open science awareness as parts
of their information literacy program. The Librarians have also promised to
strengthen their open access programme in the areas of Open Access journals and
repositories. Moreover, Colleagues from the Addis Ababa University Libraries
has informed the community that they will organize an international workshop on
Open Research Data in collaboration with Electronic Information for Libraries
(EIFL) on which international speakers will make a presentation on their
practical implementation of open research data. It is expected that following
the workshop, Addis Ababa University and other Universities as well as research
institutes will start implementing Open research data. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">With regard
to Open Data, the community appreciate that all the Co-founders of an
organization called code4Ethiopia which advocates for Open Data are members of
the group. So, the community decided to work in collaboration with
Code4Ethiopia in relation with open data initiative. Colleagues from
code4Ethiopia have briefed the members that they have already planned to
visualize Ethiopian election data which will be conducted in May 25 so as to
promote the values of data to the citizens as well as to the Government and non
Governmental organizations. The organization have also planned to build a
portal for Open contracting for increased disclosure and participation in
public contracting including tendering, performance and completion so as to
minimize the millions of dollars that the Ethiopian Government and other
organizations incur in advertizing tenders and processing . All members have also been
invited to contribute to Open Data activities of the organization. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The
community has also discussed on potential stakeholders to work with and the
group has decided to partner with Consortium of Ethiopian Academic and Research
Libraries, Addis Ababa University (AAU) Libraries, Code4Ethiopia, School of
Information Science of AAU and International organizations like African Union,
UN organs which are based in Addis Ababa. </span></div>
