Pollicy is a portmanteau n acronym that stems from Opinion polling and Policymaking. Pollicy was founded and registered in 2016 with a mandate to redesign service delivery for citizens. By functioning at the intersection of Data, Design, and Technology, Pollicy is improving how citizens interact with governments.

Our first event Data Fest was first held in 2019 bringing together hundreds of data enthusiasts including Academia, Civil Society, Bloggers, Technologists, and Data Scientists from across the region and the world.

Pollicy first started working on independent projects on the use of open data and in building data literacy. Pollicy has since grown to work with some of the biggest funders and partners including Facebook, HIVOS, Mozilla,GIZ and Omidyar Network which have helped sharpen our idea of building a culture around data and technology.

In 2018 we launched our maiden programs including Data Club and Data Ladies which offered networking opportunities to young and mid career professionals and data enthusiasts to learn and grow in the space.
