Civic Hive

Founded in 2017 as the innovation centre of BudgIT, Civic Hive was set up to create an innovative virtual and physical space for partnerships and to raise civic tech leaders/solutions in Nigeria. It was also set up to improve the capacity of existing Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and media organizations, thereby making a huge impact within the Nigerian space. Civic Hive has incubated 24 civic start-ups and supported over 75 organizations in Nigeria. Civic Hive has continued its support for existing and new organizations to push solutions that connect citizens to the government, foster institutional efficiency, and raise citizens’ awareness of social issues around them. Civic Hive aims to stimulate citizens’ interests in public data and hence trigger discussions towards better governance. The organization is committed to the principles of open data & governance, citizen participation, and data transparency.
