Dear Engine Room admins,<br><div class="gmail_quote"><br>I recently learned about your project aimed to map initiatives for digital advocacy. At<a href="https://www.theengineroom.org/services/#support" target="_blank"> https://www.theengineroom.org/services/#support</a> you ask to provide information on related, complementary projects. <br>
<br>In the Finnish Louhos project (<a href="http://louhos.github.com/en" target="_blank">http://louhos.github.com/en</a>), we are working to collect comprehensive software libraries to analyze society and decision-making processes based on publicly available data resources. Our project aims to combine latest advances in data analysis to up-to-date data resources and to provide freely available analytical research tools for academics, NGOs, journalists, citizens, and other target groups. I felt that this project is within the scope of your initiative, therefore wanted to follow your request and send a note. We will be happy to provide further information of the project, if you wish.<br>
<br>kind regards<br>Leo Lahti, D.Sc.<br>Louhos, Finland<br><br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>Services for Support Organizations<br><br>Organizations and initiatives dedicated to supporting digital advocacy increasingly work with citizens in wildly varying contexts, making it more difficult to maximize reach and impact in the context of a rapidly changing media environment. The engine room provides empirical frameworks and engagement processes to address these challenges.<br>
<br>This may include:<br><br> Research on capacity gaps in target stakeholder groups;<br> Identification of stakeholders, trainees and counterparts;<br> Development and implementation of tailored frameworks for monitoring and evaluation;<br>
Data-based analysis to develop strategies for follow-up programming and lasting impact<br>
