Grassruts is a civic technology platform built to give Nigerian communities the tools they need to report infrastructure problems, validate them collectively, and demand action from the right authorities.
Across Nigeria, communities deal with the same story: a road collapses, a borehole dries up, streetlights go dark. One person reports it. Nothing happens. Another complains online. Still nothing.
The problem isn't a lack of awareness — it's a lack of organized, verifiable pressure. Grassruts changes that. When 50 people from the same LGA report the same issue, it becomes data. Data that can't be ignored.
Report
Any Nigerian can report a community infrastructure problem in under 2 minutes.
Validate
Neighbours in the same LGA confirm the same issue, building a community-backed record.
Escalate
At 50 reports, the issue is automatically flagged as HIGH PRIORITY and sent to the relevant authority.
Resolve
The community — not just the government — decides when an issue is truly resolved.
Every decision we make is guided by one question: does this make it easier for ordinary Nigerians to be heard?
All issues are public. All report counts are real. No filtering, no suppression. The data belongs to the community.
Infrastructure problems are local. Our LGA-level structure ensures reports reach exactly the right authority.
We don't just document problems — we create pressure. 50 reports triggers automatic government notification.
Grassruts is a product of join2getherwork, a studio building civic and community technology for African communities. We believe technology should serve people — not just entertain them.
Grassruts is non-partisan. We don't take sides, we don't favour states or parties. We only care about one thing: making it easier for communities to get the infrastructure they were promised.
