CivicNet is an independent Romanian non-governmental organization that builds free digital public-interest solutions and projects addressing real needs of both citizens and public institutions.
We collaborate with actors across the public, civic, and private sectors, applying proven digital best practices.
We believe in initiative, involvement, and cooperation, and we see the strongest impact of civic tech when solutions solve real societal needs.
Our goal is to build a community of IT&C specialists, public institutions, companies, and civil society partners whose shared effort leads to a better generation of public digital services.
We come from different regions of Romania, with diverse ages, views, backgrounds, and experience, but we are aligned by one vision: together we can contribute to Romania’s modernization through digitalization, for the benefit of citizens.
If you care and want to get involved, you can support this vision through donations, sponsorships, communication, or by building digital solutions.
Improving the relationship between citizens and public institutions through digitalization
In our vision, citizens are informed and engaged, interacting with public institutions simply and effectively, while institutions become more efficient and transparent. Our experience in the GovITHub governmental pilot program showed us that many problems can be solved through digitalization, and that meaningful improvements can happen in a relatively short time. This motivated us to continue that momentum from the civic sector and build public-interest digital solutions centered on citizens’ needs.
We aim to leverage official open data, open-source work, and direct collaboration between civic, public, and private sectors to deliver modern solutions for current civic needs.
At CivicNet, we aim to stay true to the principles that brought us together:
Initiative and involvement
change often starts with a few concrete actions, followed by the determination and perseverance of as many contributors as possible
Need-oriented focus
during analysis we identify real citizen and institutional problems, then test and validate solutions, and finally turn them into easy-to-use digital products
Open and collaborative environment
we know there is always room for improvement, and we invite feedback and collaboration through transparent, inclusive, accessible, and positive communication
Iterative process
we believe in an organized, transparent, and efficient workflow (analysis, design, coding, testing, communication) that we apply in every project and adapt where needed
Informed decisions
we act responsibly based on the analysis and interpretation of data from tests, studies, reports, usage statistics, or focus groups (data-driven actions)
Agility
the pace of change depends on how quickly ideas and analysis are turned into concrete deliverables (a demo, a test version) and active feedback throughout development
Measurable impact
we closely monitor usage and performance indicators and continuously improve public solutions so they become more relevant, useful, and widely adopted
Scalability
we implement solutions both locally and nationally, while accounting for each community’s context
Partnership
we work closely and transparently with people from institutions, private organizations, and civil society, and we share responsibility for the credibility of the data and information behind our solutions
Neutrality
our solutions prioritize real citizen and institutional needs over political shifts, and we stay open to everyone willing to contribute and do more
