As governments scale digital public infrastructure and AI, a critical question is emerging:
Who gets heard?
And who gets left out?
We’re proud to share that Causeway Impact is partnering with the World Bank’s CIVIC Digital program to advance inclusive, community-centered digital citizen engagement worldwide.
Too often, the communities most affected by public systems—especially those in low-connectivity, multilingual, and low-literacy contexts—are the least able to shape them.
That’s not just a technology gap.
It’s a governance gap.
CIVIC Digital is redefining participation by co-creating open-source, AI-enabled feedback systems that allow people to share lived experience through:
🎙️ Speech
🖼️ Images
✍🏽 Handwritten text
📱 Accessible, low-barrier formats
Grounded in equity, accountability, and community voice.
This is how citizen engagement becomes more than a checkbox.
This is how it becomes infrastructure.
Through this partnership, Causeway Impact will:
🔹 Mobilize catalytic and philanthropic capital for deployments
🔹 Support pilot partners implementing CIVIC tools on the ground
🔹 Expand the global ecosystem of funders, innovators, and civic leaders
🔹 Activate citizens to turn lived experience into civic action
We’re inspired by the leadership of Aly Rahim and the CIVIC team, and proud to support this work shaping the future of participatory, people-centered governance.
📣 We’re now seeking:
💰 Capital partners to accelerate implementation
🌍 Pilot partners (governments, NGOs, civic orgs) ready to deploy
⚡ Actionists ready to help shape the systems meant to serve them
If that’s you—or someone you know—we’d love to connect.
