UK voters are quite accustomed to seeing good quality visualisations of economic data, tax and public expenditure. But these aren't accessible in many parts of the world having low literacy, or where the only internet access is via the mobile network. Your task is to create an app that will run on a low cost Android phone, not using too much bandwidth, that allows developing world users to visualise, share and comment on economic data. Initiatives such as Gapminder, Africa's Voices and the Open Data Initiative might provide a starting point for design ideas, but you'll need to think about what information sources are both useful to developing world users and publicly available.
