We started in 2012 with a dream, and here we are 10 years later, celebrating a decade of innovation, growth and partnerships!
2022 is a major milestone for us, as we celebrate ten years of bridging the gap between citizens and their governments, advocating for local and hyperlocal engagement to drive sustainable development.
We invite you to walk down memory lane and reminisce with us on the past decade and dream together with us of a future where citizens continue to advocate for the development they deserve, with governments that are attuned to the voice of the citizen.

We envision a future with an open society that is managed by informed, fact-driven citizens.
This society features a responsive and accountable government that delivers the services its citizens need at the level of service they deserve.
It includes active non-state actors who play an active role in educating citizens on their role as responsible and active citizens safeguarding democracy and development.Our Mission is to collaborate with governments, citizens, civil society organisations and other players to develop policies, tools and knowledge that strengthen citizens’ voices in the governance and development in their societies.
