CIVICA was founded in 2014 by civic activists in Iași, Romania, in order to improve citizens’ participation in decisions that affect the entire community and to determine the public authorities and elected officials to become more accountable and improve their way of working and engaging various stakeholders.

Since then we have implemented over 12 projects in areas such as civic participation (involving citizens in identifying community-wide issues and coming up with collaborative solutions), good governance (tracking local council meetings and decisions), urban mobility (building a coalition of local NGOs and pressing for more accessible sideways for pedestrians, cycling routes and clean public transportation), civic education for high schools in Iași.

We would like to increase our impact and implement multi-annual projects, so our main focus is working on the sustainability of our organization from a financial and human resources perspective.
