9. What we found Localization of some projects were not accurate.9
Localization of some projects were not accurate.
Information was sometimes confusing about dates of contracts and fisical progress.
People in government institutions did not know about the rally. It was difficult to get information from them.
There is not enough knowledge of how different projects are financed (public-private association)

10. Conclusions 10
It is still difficult for citizens to understand open data, how to use it and what for.
After the rally we do not know if there are any actions for data improvement or any effect in Budget distribution.
