Code for Pakistan

Code for Pakistan is a non-partisan, non-political, not-for-profit organization bringing together civic-minded software developers to use technology to innovate in public services, by creating open source solutions to address the needs of citizens. The organization has worked on several projects with the KP government under the KP Government Innovation Fellowship Program, leading towards digital transformation in the public sector. The organization focuses on e-governance, open data, open source solutions, and civic engagement.^[1]

Founding and History

Code for Pakistan is modeled after Code for America and is a member of the Code for All network^[2], an international community of civic tech organisations. Code for Pakistan was founded by Sheba Najmi^[3] who co-hosted Pakistan’s first civic hackathon with Sabeen Mahmud in 2013 in Karachi with support from The Second Floor and P@SHA.^[4]

In 2014, Code for Pakistan started a Fellowship Program with the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government. This program is modeled after Code for America’s Fellowship Program^[5] designed to resource and train community members and partner them with local government to improve service delivery.^[6]

Since 2013, Code for Pakistan has organized civic hackathons and other community engagement events as a platform to devise tech solutions, every year in different cities in collaboration with partner organizations.^[7] ^[8] ^[9]^[10] ^[11] ^[12] ^[13] ^[14]

Fellowship Program

Code for Pakistan in collaboration with the ^[15] and the World Bank, introduced the KP Government Innovation Fellowship Program in 2014.^[16] The Fellowship Program is a 6-month program where a team of developers, designers, researchers, and content writers collaborate to build digital solutions and improve and innovate in government services. In the past, solutions in a variety of public domains, such as healthcare, crime, disaster management, citizen engagement, transportation, traffic, education, etc. have been developed through the Fellowship Program.^[17] Eightyseven fellows over five years have graduated from the Fellowship Program. Some of the projects developed under the Fellowship Program include Raabta^[18], Public Toilet Finder^[19] and PSRA^[20] website. Currently, the program’s 6th cycle is underway remotely due to Covid-19.^[21]

Civic Innovation Labs

Code for Pakistan runs ^[22], based on Code for America’s Brigades^[23] and Code for Germany’s Open Knowledge Labs.^[24] These labs are run by volunteers who work to develop various digital platforms/solutions and foster a community of developers. Volunteers from Islamabad CIL [1]regularly organise civic hackathons across Pakistan every year in collaboration with other private entities. These volunteers also developed a project to track the performance of legislators Legis in collaboration with the Centre for Governance and Public Accountability.

Other Projects

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Code for Pakistan supported^[25] Digital Pakistan^[26]^[27] ^[28] ^[29] in developing Covid-19 dashboard. Code for Pakistan also supported the Ministry of National Health Services Regulations and Coordination, to set up a Telehealth platform.^[30]
