On September 15th, 2021, we were invited for the BudgIT anniversary hackathon. The hackathon was held at CivicHive, an incubation hub for civic-tech ideas in Nigeria. The organizers said the aim of the event was to find the next BudgIT.

 

Among the judges were Oluwasegun Elemo,Executive Director PLSI, Femi Taiwo, Executive Director LEAP Africa and Oluwatosin Alagbe, Programme Director, PTCIJ.

 

AdvoKC finished as the 1st runner up at the hackathon and we were given a pre-seed funding of #300,000 and other add-ons. We're more excited about the impact this will have on improving citizens participation and holding elected officials accountable to their promises.

At AdvoKC, we are committed to bringing truth to politics. We are grateful to BudgIT for creating the platform as it has motivated and are charged up to deliver.
