Acerca de Nosotros The Sunlight Foundation is a national, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that uses the tools of civic tech, open data, policy analysis and journalism to make our government and politics more accountable and transparent to all. Our vision is to use technology to enable more complete, equitable and effective democratic participation. Our overarching goal is to achieve changes in the law to require real-time, online transparency for all government information, with a special focus on the political money flow and who tries to influence government and how government responds.

GIS Data Use GIS Data Use in Bangladesh MEASURE Evaluation collaborated with the Centre for Urban Studies to map the slums surrounding the six largest cities in Bangladesh in 2005. Researchers identified and collected data from more than 9,000 slums, and then used GIS to produce detailed maps that mark each slum’s geographic boundaries, population size and distribution, water sources, legal status, and other information.
