Code for Pakistan

Community

Mobilizing civil society to create the change they want to see

Community mobilization lies at the heart of civic tech. It is the people that, together, create the change they want to see.

CIVIC HACKATHONS

The foundation of Code for Pakistan was laid at the first hackathon organized back in 2013. That event was attended by a number of community members whose participation ignited our civic movement. Since then, we have conducted a hackathon every year in different cities with different themes and partners.

CIVIC INNOVATION LABS

We support home-grown efforts by civil society to solve their own problems. Civic Innovation Labs is a volunteer-run effort where professionals from different backgrounds come together to design social impact projects that strengthen their communities.

Over the years CILs have worked with a number of different local government departments to help digitize local services, such as price manipulations, among others.
