Developing programmeDigital rights and public systems
Communities and civil-society organisations can identify digital risks, use correction and grievance routes, and influence systems before exclusion becomes normal.
StatusDeveloping programme
Primary baseKibera, Nairobi
ApproachCommunity learning, evidence and accountable action
Digital public systems can reduce time and cost, but they can also exclude people who lack documents, devices, data, literacy or a way to correct an automated record. Civil-society organisations also need secure, affordable infrastructure for sensitive work.
What the existing record shows
This programme is grounded in K-HAKI’s existing legal-identity and access-to-justice work. The fuller digital-rights programme, Maisha Namba safeguards work and secure hosting service remain developing concepts, not completed projects.

Learning and accountability
How we will avoid shallow reporting.
A pilot should measure whether people can complete a task, understand the data used, correct an error and reach human support. Technology adoption by itself is not impact.
