Civic Hive, a CivicTech organization, has announced the 2024 Civic Tech Fellowship, an initiative aimed at spotlighting and incubating innovative solutions for social issues through technology.
The fellowship will focus on thematic areas such as Artificial Intelligence for Good, Climate Advocacy, and Technology for Health, Civic Education, and Justice.
The program will kick off with regional hackathons in September 2024, targeting tech-driven grassroots and community-led initiatives across Nigeria.
Civic Hive will host hackathons in Lagos, Kano, and Port Harcourt, featuring 30 changemakers who will develop and pitch their tech-driven solutions.
Applications for the fellowship are open from August 1, 2024, until August 15, 2024. Aspiring and emerging civic-tech innovators are encouraged to apply, particularly those in Kano, Port Harcourt, and neighboring states.
The final 12 shortlisted fellows will undergo an intensive three-month incubation period, receiving mentorship, resources, and training on how to start, grow, and scale their ideas.
The fellowship will culminate in a Demo Day, where the fellows will showcase their Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) and soft launch their solutions.
Joseph Amenghawon, Head of Civic Hive, stated, “We are excited to launch the 2024 Civic Tech Fellowship, which accentuates our commitment to empowering the next generation of civic-tech leaders in Nigeria.
Through this program, we aim to support innovative solutions that address critical societal issues and drive change.”
