Group of Volunteers

A Code for Pakistan Civic Innovation Lab is not a physical entity but rather a community of passionate individuals who meet regularly to collaborate with local government, nonprofits, and media organizations on technology, data, policy, and design projects that strengthen their communities.

Meet Anywhere Anytime

CIL consists of volunteers who come together—either in person or virtually—to collaborate on projects that enhance civic services, improve governance, and empower communities. Recognition as a CIL depends on active participation, consistent efforts in volunteering, and a shared commitment to making a difference.

How CIL Works

Every lab is led by a Lead who is responsible for building the community and maintaining the relationship between the Lab and the local partners. All Labs are connected through an online forum in order to share stories and support each other's work. Labs are also closely coordinated with Code for Pakistan's other programs.
