In July 2011, the Kenyan government launched Africa's first national open data initiative -- the Kenya Open Data Initiative (KODI). KODI aims to make public government data accessible to all Kenyans, and to encourage data-driven decision making in government.
The Kenyan government believes that by making data public via KODI, government transparency and accountability will improve.
