We are a community of NGO, IT, and media organizations that use technology for better transparency, accountability, and governance in the region.
We work to create a space for exchange of ideas and best practices as well as to create new collaborations between like-minded stakeholders across borders and sectors.
We do it by:
– organizing international conferences where people can learn and network;
– holding workshops that address specific knowledge gaps within the community;
– developing cross-border solutions in thematic working groups;
– replicating and documenting successful technology solutions;
– creating practice oriented research and analysis;
TransparenCEE is an initiative started by ePaństwo Foundation (EPF) and TechSoup Europe thanks to Google and the U.S. Department of State. Learn more about us below.

IF YOU’RE A CODER
Are you interested in creating technology tools for public good? Do you want to get in touch with an organization which needs ideas and digital support? First, check the in-depth analysis which were contributed by our experts. There’s a Resources section for you. In Replication section you can see how one idea, designed in specific regional environment, can be adapted by a person like you – and serve to the society which you’re a part of. If that seems inspiring, join our Slack and introduce yourself.
