The goal is to help empower people all over the world, especially young people in Africa, to come up with creative solutions to urgent social problems. EVOKE is free to play and open to anyone, anywhere. Players will gain 21st century skills needed to become social innovators who shape the future. The 'text book' for EVOKE is an online graphic novel. Set in the year 2020, the novel follows the efforts of a mysterious network of Africa’s best problem-solvers. Each week, as players unravel the mystery of the EVOKE network, they will form their own innovation networks: brainstorming creative solutions to real-world development challenges, learning more about what it takes to be a successful social innovator, and finding ways to make a difference in the world.

23. Aide Data Mapping AidData attempts to capture the universe of development finance, increase the value of data by providing more descriptive information about development activities, provide data in an accessible format, and strengthen efforts to improve donor and recipient strategic planning and coordination. The AidData team is building an easy-to-use, comprehensive, and timely resource describing the universe of development finance project-by-project, including all grants and loans committed by all major bilateral and multilateral aid donors. Current data on development finance lacks timeliness, depth, and comprehensiveness. Better data will help increase aid targeting and coordination, and it will enable better measurement and evaluation of aid effectiveness. AidData is currently developing a publicly-accessible interface that will enable researchers, field workers, and policy makers interested in development finance to access detailed project level data in order to increase transparency, accountability, and effectiveness.
