About Us

Code for Pakistan is a not for profit civic tech-focused project of the Foundation for Civic Tech registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan, and we are affiliated with the international Code for All network.

We envision a government that works for everyone, seamlessly; our mission is to harness the power of people and technology to build a better, citizen-centered government for everyone. Thus, we bring the government and the citizens together in a participatory process of governance.

Our civic tech platform is powered by a community of passionate, skilled professionals and students, as well as government, academia, tech industry and corporate partners driven by a strong belief in civic innovation and social impact that can move Pakistan forward in measurable and meaningful ways.

In 2023, Code for Pakistan celebrates its 10th anniversary of successful operations in Pakistan. During this time we have managed and delivered 8 cycles of the KP Government Innovation Fellowship Program, 2 cycles of the KP Women Civic Digital Internship Program, as well as several civic engagement events such as Civic Hackathons (in Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, Islamabad), which have led to startups like Savaree. We have also delivered several open source-based digital solutions which address specific needs amongst the community. Finally, we have recently launched CfP Academy which offers learning programs to help people in the community, government, academia, and local industries to develop tech and related skills.

Think about your last time stuck in traffic, or getting your National ID Card renewed....Ever had to go to the police station? Visited a ghost government school? What about spending untold hours with no electricity thanks to load-shedding?

No one wants to spend countless hours in traffic or wait in that interminable CNG line. Or pretty much have anything to do with public services, if they can help it. What if interacting with public services wasn’t so painful? What if every trip was a positive, easy experience?

Enter the world of civic hacking. The good kind of hacking. It’s the empowerment of citizens to create solutions themselves. It’s the opportunity to improve civic services that impact millions of lives. And it goes hand-in-hand with Government 2.0.
