Development Marathons for Mobile Apps
The Development Marathons for Mobile Apps were produced by the Ministry of Information Technologies and Communications in 2013, where teams composed of programmers, designers and professionals from different disciplines were integrated to develop, in 34-hour periods, solutions to collaboratively meet the needs of citizens. In order for citizens to be able to develop the apps, the Government made available all the information on the "Open Data" portal, which contains in a unified form all the data published by the public entities of Colombia. As a result of these marathons, citizen groups created 26 apps to solve the most relevant problems, in subjects such as weather, the control of state resources, health, housing or conflict resolution.
