Many development interventions in Africa have had little long-term impact, possibly due to insufficient involvement of the targeted communities. People Centred Solutions (PCS) advocates for active citizen engagement and participation to co-create solutions and decision-making processes, guided by citizen-generated data.
PCS uses data infrastructure, AI, and research to enhance transparency, accountability, integrity, and stakeholder engagement, building trust between:
- Governments and the citizens.
- NGOs and the target communities.
- Corporates and the target customers.
