For Government & Civic Authorities
i-Witness provides a citizen-powered platform that helps municipalities gain better visibility into civic issues across different parts of a city.
The platform enables citizens to submit geo-tagged reports with visual evidence, helping authorities identify, prioritize, and address infrastructure and service-related concerns.
Citizen Engagement

i-Witness provides a structured digital channel through which citizens can share observations about civic conditions while helping authorities receive timely and relevant information.
