Transparency two years ago: Sejmometr.pl

Two years ago Global Voices online conducted special deep research called "Technology for Transparency". It's focus was simply - global. Meaning some projects from our region were also included and highlighted there.

Sejmometr.pl is a project by ePF - organizer of this TransparenCEE, so we are linking to report about this, as we want to kick it off by telling who we are and how have we changed in over two years since this interview was made:


Sejmometr (from the Polish words “Sejm,” or parliament, and “metr,” or monitor) is an online portal that aims to provide easily digestible insights into the legislative processes of the Polish government, particularly the Sejm (Poland’s parliament). Launched two years ago, the site has gained popularity due to its content and in the summer of 2010 underwent a major re-development to move to a second, more sophisticated version.

Supported by international sponsors, the new version of the portal allows users to browse key parliamentary decisions by sponsoring party and by status in the Sejm. New features, including profiles of individual members of parliament, will continue to be added over the next year.
