CIVIC is a citizen’s initiative formed in 1990-91 as a forum for discussion and action on issues facing Bangalore, its development and future.
CIVIC’s continuous work with over 350 city-based CBOs/RWAs, 35 NGOs working with the urban poor, academic institutions and technical groups such as urban planners and poor groups has shown some significant results. At the same time, CIVIC has learnt some hard facts.
Core objectives:
• Promote pro-poor measures in service delivery
• Increase transparency and accountability in service delivery to the urban poor.
• Strengthen processes of decentralization to enable urban poor to participate in city governance.
In a nut shell CIVIC’s vision is a just city - Bangalore. The mission is to improve the living conditions for all citizens of Bangalore by facilitating good governance with realization of 74th CAA in its true spirit – development with social justice.
