About the African Union Civic Tech Fund

The African Union Commission (AUC), with the support of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), is delighted to launch the second Grant Call for civic tech innovations in Africa. The Grant process is managed by continental partners, the Civic Tech Innovation Network (CTIN) and Ushahidi. The African Union Civic Tech Fund supports initiatives, particularly those led by or relevant to youth, that strengthen citizen engagement through the innovative use of data and digital technologies, or, in other words, that can support targeted civic technology solutions. The objective is to demonstrate effective models of citizen participation, support the scalability of initiatives, and influence policy to support replicable and/or scalable civic technology initiatives and transformative citizen-led actions across the African continent. The Fund will support initiatives that visibly contribute towards Agenda 2063 – Africa’s blueprint and master plan to deliver on its goal for inclusive and sustainable development, transforming Africa into the global powerhouse of the future.
