About

Who we are : OpenAid was created by Claudia Schwegmann in 2009 as an independent association. Annual reports from 2010 and 2011 are attached below. In 2012 OpenAid has become a project of the Open Knowledge Foundation Germany (Berlin) to promote open data in development, aid transparency and feedback processes.

The OpenAid project is lead by Claudia Schwegmann (@OpenAidGermany) and Christian Kreutz (@ckreutz), who both have extensive experience in international development cooperation and who are both working as freelance consultants. This website is maintained by Björn Johansson. Currently OpenAid does not receive any outside funding.
