OMG, I found a Code for Africa project that collects projects and data of civic tech in Africa. There is even a project to map patterns of success and failures in civic tech (Although I went to CivicPatterns.org and it was blank)

Hi <!channel>! As @besslee introduced me last week, I’m Paula, was a former brigade captain in Code for Curitiba (my city in Brazil) and am COO of RadicalxChange, a non-profit organization centered on advancing the adoption of civic technologies and democratic renewal. Every year we hold an annual conference, and this year we are having three of them, one in Taipei (being prepared in partnership with our friends at g0v), one in Denver - Colorado, and another online. In advance of each of these conferences we’ll have some video programming with special content, and for that I would be enormously honored to host a conversation with a member of g0v, another from Code for Korea, and another from Code for Japan.

I will share more details when I come to the lunch next week. But if you are interested in joining or have any questions, feel free to reach out to me in the meantime!
Here’s a bit of the theme for the conversation:
*Facing the Ocean: Hacktivism, Civic Tech and Collaboration across borders*
Nowhere is the civic tech movement more impactful than in East Asia. Bottom-up data collaboratives are created and rapidly adopted by citizens, hackathons invigorate civic life, and government is kept in check by multiple, citizen-led, social technologies. Speaking the international language of software code, and united by a shared sense that new technological advancements can profoundly transform the practice of democracy, asian hacktivists are forming a movement that extends way beyond their national borders. In this panel we’ll have contributors of g0v (Taiwan), Code for Japan and Code for Korea, talking about how they collaborate with each other and what is it that make their practice of civic tech so distinct from the rest of the world.”
