It's called 'Caring For My Neighbourhood' and researchers from the University of Sao Paolo and members of OKFN Brazil, have been working to geo-locate public spending in Sao Paolo. Gisele da Silva Craveiro, one of the people behind the project has very kindly written a description of the project for the OpenSpending blog: http://openspending.org/blog/2012/07/19/Caring-for-your-neighbourhood.html The post is also available in Portuguese on the OKFN-Br blog: http://br.okfn.org/2012/07/04/cuidando-do-meu-bairro/ Gisele should be joining us for a panel on citizen engagement with public spending at OKFest, so we look forward to hearing more from her!
