Archive of a social media campaign to request public accountability from the government of Togo, December 2016

In 2013, the Government of Togo set up a committee to run a public fund raising in support of the national football team (les Epervier) for its participation in the Africa Cup of Nations. No public report was given by the committee about the utilization made of the funding they have raised. In January 2017, the national team will be participating in the next Africa Cup of Nations' competition. Once again, to assure a successful participation of the team, the government announced the creation of a new fund raising committee, following a council of ministers on December 16, 2016. In this context, Togolese social media activist launched a campaign to request public accountability from the government, under the hastag #FaisonsLesComptes (let us make accounts in French) urging officials to provide details about the 2013 funds utilization. This archive was produced to document the tweeting activity related to the above mentioned campaign, from 17/12/2016 09:05:15 to 30/12/2016 05:01:33, on day after the government presented a report on the 2013 funding utilization in a press conference.2013年，多哥政府成立专项委员会，发起公众筹款活动，以支持该国国家足球队（雄鹰队（les Epervier））参与非洲国家杯（Africa Cup of Nations）赛事。该委员会未就所筹资金的使用情况发布任何公开报告。2017年1月，多哥国家队将再次征战非洲国家杯赛事。为保障球队顺利参赛，多哥政府于2016年12月16日内阁会议后宣布成立新一届筹款委员会。在此背景下，多哥社交媒体活动家发起运动，要求政府就资金使用情况接受公众问责，话题标签为#FaisonsLesComptes（法语意为“让我们核对账目”），敦促官方披露2013年筹款的具体使用细节。本数据集用于记录2016年12月17日09:05:15至2016年12月30日05:01:33期间，与上述运动相关的推特（Twitter）发帖活动，该时间段始于政府在新闻发布会上提交2013年筹款使用情况报告的次日。
