Technology to Enhance Citizen Participation
Together with partners, government, civil society and business, we design digital tools that support citizen participation in policy and government processes, increasing transparency, accountability and responsiveness. Our focus is on working with end-users and developing digital tools that respond to citizen needs and the legal, political, economic, and social context.
Scalable Tools for Citizens Engagement
Working with government and multilateral institutions design tools that deploy refined data mining skills to creatively represent data and empower citizens to use the resulting information to engage on issues that matter to them. We design innovative tools that are agile, citizen centered, and help inform decision-making and responding to citizens.
Tools for Policy and Decision-Making
We do this by working and supporting reformers to design locally-led tools, learning-centred and adaptive, to enable policies and decisions that respond to citizen needs. This is done by leveraging data, evidence and digital solutions that support reformers and policy-makers to approach policy-making and decision making from a citizen angle.
Systems for Efficient Public Finance Management
NewThinking works with governments, civil society and multilateral institutions to support effective and efficient public financial management processes leveraging data, analytics and digital tools for better transparency and accountability. This helps government, citizens and civil society effectively deliver basic services, meet citizen needs and build sustainable communities.
