At Civio we work to make the public sector truly public. We call for more transparent governments and institutions and better-informed people. We do so via journalism, advocacy, and technology.

Since 2012, we have been investigating how the public sector is managed, highlighting the blind spots, and affecting change. All of this is made possible thanks to the support of an incredible community that believes in transparency and in journalism that is vigilant, accurate, and unbiased. That’s why we exist: to unlock the public sector for society.

Our name Civio comes from civil, meaning ‘relating to citizens’. We are an independent non-profit organisation with a purpose: to make institutions accountable and ensure that you get the best information about what really matters.

We have so much to say, that’s why our logo features two dots: With the support of our members, we can remain independent and work to achieve a positive impact on society.

How do we do it?

Through research, promoting transparency, and creating tools so that anyone can access information of common interest. We don’t stop at theories: we get results.

To be a Civio member is to be a protagonist in favour of fairer, more transparent and more efficient public sector. And that is worthwhile ❤️.
