Job details:
Civic Innovation Foundation, 'Civis', a Mumbai-based non-profit organisation, runs a fellowship opportunity in Mumbai for fresh law graduates who wish to pursue a career in public policy in India.
Civis has developed a platform that enables citizens engagement, in our democracies, by creating a channel for constructive dialogue between citizens and the Government on draft laws and policies.
Through Civis, individuals in India can understand an upcoming law or policy and share their feedback on this law, this feedback goes straight to lawmakers. This crucial step of consultation allows for participatory design of policies, increased trust and dialogue.
Civis believes that laws that are drafted for the people, should be drafted by the people. On the online platform, we:
- Aggregate all open laws seeking feedback.
- Simplify these laws in easy to understand language.
- Translate them into local languages.
- Reach out to individuals and gather inputs on these laws.
- Analyse and share citizen’s feedback with the Government – building Government capacity to run effective Consultations, and gather actionable insights.
