It’s about creating civic innovation tools (tools that help make more democratic, transparent and people centered governments), but it isn’t only about the tools themselves — it’s about the process through which these tools are created. <a href="https://medium.com/code-for-all/a-beginners-guide-to-civic-tech-66f070599ae6" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Here&#x27;s a good place to lean more.</a> Who is Code for All?<a href="https://codeforall.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Code for All</a> is an international network of organizations supporting each other to empower citizens to meaningfully engage in the public sphere and have a positive impact on their communities.
