ABOUT CODE FOR DEVELOPMENT
Code for Development is a national nonprofit organization born from (FSd Lab) that believes government can work for the people, by the people. We bring developers, journalists and civil society together to create a network of civic-minded activists who use their knowledge, hands and voices to make the local government system better through transparency, open-data, and citizen engagement. WHAT WE DO
• We embed developers and data fellows in newsrooms to create innovative platforms for better information dissemination and encourage collective action through citizen engagement
• We organize data boot camps to share knowledge on open-data tools and demonstrate the value of open-data to the broader society.
• We build civic apps and platforms that will keep citizens well informed so that they can demand accountability, transparency and better services from the government.
• We partner with CSOs, NGOs and Government organizations to bring meaning to their data-sets.
• We are also doing something bolder; we are taking a different approach to open governance.
