Technology for people Power for communities
Technology for people, Power for communities
We adapt and localise proven technologies into powerful, community-driven solutions that protect rights, ignite inclusion, and strengthen civic participation.
Who we are
Amplified Access is a network of public technologists working across East Africa to strengthen rights, inclusion, and civic participation
We partner with organizations to support the full lifecycle of civic technology efforts, from adapting proven tools to building new, context-specific solutions
Our Approach
We partner with organizations to co-develop civic technologies that are rigorously researched and deeply rooted in local contexts. By ensuring these tools effectively address community needs, we reinforce rights, foster inclusion, and enhance civic participation. Through this approach, empowered communities can meaningfully influence decision-making and drive sustainable social transformation.
Why this matters
Across East Africa, the mismatch between global civic technologies and unique local challenges limits access, threatens safety, and reinforces exclusion
We prioritize community-led approaches, ensuring technology is adapted with local voices at its center, so solutions are not just used, but truly useful
Where we work
We focus on projects in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, with technical and innovation support from our USA-based team. As we expand beyond East Africa, we are now exploring partnerships in South Asia, beginning with Pakistan.
What we are learning
Each project, partnership, and tool teaches us something new about what communities need and how technology can serve them better
We share these lessons openly because progress grows stronger when knowledge is collective
