#1 · Digital Identity & Civil Registration

National NGO Registration & Compliance Platform

Civil-society oversight digitised end to end.

OperationalLive demo →NDPIV Governance & Security

The problem

Civil-society registration, compliance reporting, and lifecycle tracking in Uganda is fragmented across paper records and disconnected spreadsheets, creating gaps in transparency, donor coordination, and beneficiary protection. NDPIV Governance & Security Programme targets the Democratic Index from 4.94 to 5.53 by FY2029/30 - an indicator that depends on a digitally instrumented civic-space oversight layer that does not yet exist at scale.

The solution

Modular platform covering organisation registration, annual compliance returns, geographic-coverage mapping, beneficiary records, donor-funding declarations, and oversight dashboards. Multi-role access for regulator staff, registered organisation admins, and public read views. Already operational at a national-level civil-society regulator.
