After a myriad of questions for Open Ownership's Mukuka Mutale, he said that Open Ownership converts Beneficial Ownership data sets drawn from national registers, with the idea to provide an open source tool to access this platform to connect the dots of who owns what company.

The 2nd afternoon session was a panel discussion moderated by TI-Kenya Exec. Director Ms. Sheila Masinde on Leveraging on Technology in Evidence Generation and Regional Advocacy.

Panelists consisted of Dr. O'brien Kaaba, Anti-Corruption Commission Zambia Commissioner, Mr. Mukuka Mutale, Country Programme Associate at Open Ownership & Mr. Edmond Shoko-Lekhuleni, Technical Advisor at Afrosai E.

At today's Africa #IACC in #Zambia, our Mutale Mutale_ spoke about our work to ensure that #BeneficialOwnership data from national registers is structured in such a way that it can be connected with other transnational datasets to help connect the dots of who owns what.
