About us:
HipCity Innovation Centre (HipCity Hub) is a research, development and advocacy organization with the mandate to strengthen community capacity and resilience, as well as to create platforms for citizen participation in democratic processes.
OUR WORK:
Over the last 5 years, HipCity Innovation Centre has pioneered research and led advocacy around integrative urban planning and development in Abuja. With increasing urbanization, the need for housing is becoming a dire need for city migrants. This need has remained largely unmet due to the high cost of housing for rent or ownership in many Nigerian cities, in Abuja; many find succour in the communities of the original inhabitants of Abuja who offer affordable and accessible housing for many economic migrants.
Across Nigerian States and the FCT, government have responded to the rising urbanization rate and housing needs of Nigerian citizens with bulldozers tearing down communities and rendering families homeless, destitute, displaced; causing emotional and psychological trauma to Nigerians instead of closing the over 20 million housing deficit gap.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
As a research organization interested in sustainable, integrated and inclusive urban development, we are seeking to engage the services of an IT company, Tech-savvy individual to develop and build a web-based reporting tool to allow citizens report and document demolitions in their various States including the FCT in real time in a view to use the information to engage government, shape policies and lead advocacy in the area of sustainable urban development.
The web-based reporting tool will collect audio-visual contents such as voice recording, pictures, videos and text-based materials.
We are calling on interested, yet capable IT companies or IT Experts to send us quotation for the task highlighted above to jobs@hipcityinnovationcentre.org , subject of the email should read “Demolition Reporting Tool”.
Deadline – February 13th 2024
