Given the increasing number of young people in Nigeria, Civic Tech has emerged as a powerful catalyst for positive societal change, strategically leveraging digital innovation to bridge the gap between government and citizens, potentially expanding the civic space. Its transformative impact extends across crucial aspects of public participation, transparency, climate resilience, justice reforms, accountability, and the efficient delivery of public services.
The civictech fellowship aims to raise new civic-tech leaders through an incubation program, which will focus on key themes which include; Civic Participation & Engagement, Transparency & Accountability, Institutional Efficiency, Justice reforms, and Climate resilience and environmental issues.
Bi-annually, they incubate civictech solutions that advance these thematic areas. The fellowship embraces different levels of ideas, irrespective of the scale – local or hyperlocal – and they are open to the diverse use of technology – radio, text, print, IoT, machine learning, artificial intelligence, or social media – as a channel. They heavily focused on the impact the ideas will have on the people and the civic spaces, the sustainability of ideas to deliver value, and the unrelenting spirit of the participants.
