From authenticity to algorithms and back again

Re­mem­ber when a food blog­ger’s rec­om­men­da­tion could make or break your week­end lime spot? Or when a quick video re­view from a lo­cal cre­ator turned an ob­scure dou­bles ven­dor in Pe­nal in­to a must-vis­it des­ti­na­tion overnight? Those mo­ments were root­ed in au­then­tic­i­ty, a time when in­flu­encer mar­ket­ing in T&T was built on trust, not trans­ac­tions. In the ear­ly days, con­tent cre­ators gained in­flu­ence not through al­go­rithms or ad bud­gets, but by of­fer­ing hon­est rec­om­men­da­tions based on re­al-life ex­pe­ri­ences. Their sto­ry­telling was raw, their voic­es un­fil­tered and their im­pact un­de­ni­able.

Democratising data tackles corruption risks in the energy sector

In the glob­al and lo­cal en­er­gy sec­tor, there are many cor­rup­tions risks of which cit­i­zens, com­pa­nies and Gov­ern­ment should be aware and vig­i­lant. These risks ap­pear at dif­fer­ent phas­es. They can emerge at the stage of li­cence and con­tract award to the com­pa­ny, the reg­is­tra­tion stage where ben­e­fi­cial own­er­ship in­for­ma­tion of com­pa­nies, the Gov­ern­ment part­ners with, is dis­closed. The risks and ac­tors are var­ied. These in­clude but are not lim­it­ed to bribery, col­lu­sion, po­lit­i­cal cap­ture, con­flict of in­ter­est, use of shell com­pa­nies and mon­ey laun­der­ing and ter­ror­ist fi­nanc­ing. Mit­i­gat­ing all these risks can prove chal­leng­ing. How­ev­er, by de­moc­ra­tis­ing da­ta and dis­clos­ing crit­i­cal in­for­ma­tion coun­tries can lessen these risks. The avail­abil­i­ty, ac­ces­si­bil­i­ty and abil­i­ty to use of da­ta for cit­i­zens and an­ti-cor­rup­tion agen­cies is key. The Ex­trac­tive In­dus­tries Trans­paren­cy Ini­tia­tive (EITI) dis­clos­es da­ta aimed at mit­i­gat­ing cor­rup­tion.
