Civic Tech
Civic Tech refers to the use of technology to enhance the relationship between citizens and government, improve public services, and foster civic engagement. It encompasses tools, platforms, and initiatives designed to make government more transparent, efficient, and responsive to community needs. This includes applications for voting, public data access, service delivery, and participatory governance.
Developers should learn and use Civic Tech to contribute to social impact by building solutions that address public sector challenges, such as streamlining bureaucratic processes or increasing civic participation. It is particularly valuable for those interested in public policy, social entrepreneurship, or working with government agencies, nonprofits, or civic organizations to create technology that benefits society.
