CivicGrid
Unemployment down. And kept down.
CivicGrid turns unemployed people into earners, informal work into formal business and underemployment into full employment, and keeps skills, businesses and jobs changing as markets change. On its own, in every district.
Every result proven from payment records, every month. Licensed to governments, councils, mobile networks, banks and programmes, under their own brand.
The problem every government, bank and network shares
Unemployment, informality and underemployment persist, and markets now change faster than programmes, curricula and plans can follow. Each year, millions more people need an income than formal jobs can absorb.

What CivicGrid delivers
Six results, delivered together and kept up as the market moves.
Unemployed into employed
People out of work start earning, and keep earning.
Informal into formalised
Informal workers and firms become registered, tax-ready businesses.
Underemployed into fully employed
People with too little work reach full, steady income.
Skills that keep up
People learn what is paying now, and keep learning as it changes.
New businesses and jobs
New firms and jobs appear where the market needs them, locally and for export.
Results that last
Income sustained week after week, proven from payments, never estimated.
Our commitments
- No capital cost: you license the system; nothing needs to be bought or built.
- No money held by the platform: only licensed payment providers, under your accounts.
- Your brand, your data, your country's rules.
- Working from the first day in each district, not a pilot that waits for results.
One promise, in your own terms
Fewer people out of work, more people earning and more businesses formalised, proven every month, under your own brand, at no capital cost.
Governments
Show the cabinet, every month, how many previously unemployed citizens are now earning, and keep that number rising.
Councils and assemblies
Fewer residents out of work, more local firms and more local spending, shown ward by ward.
Mobile networks
Registered wallets turned into daily, paid use by people who earn through them.
Banks and microfinance
Verified cash flow for small firms, with the borrower's consent, so you can lend with confidence.
Programmes and donors
Pay for employment outcomes that are proven, not activities that are reported.
Institutions
Graduates into paid work, and purchasing from verified local suppliers.
Investors and DFIs
A pipeline of small firms with proven sales, and impact you can audit.
One number that only rises when more people earn
Verified earners
The number of people who earned in a month, proven by the payment itself or confirmed by the other party. It counts people, not transactions, and every licensee reports it the same way.
Growth that harms people does not count. Every licensee reports these beside its totals:
- Payouts on time: 98% or more.
- Disputes: under 3%.
- Every fee shown before anyone agrees to pay.
- No one paid below the minimum wage.
- Results by gender, age and disability beside every total, with any count under 5 hidden in public figures.
Where CivicGrid is today
CivicGrid 1.0 is built to production standard by Sceamdo Technologies Ltd in the United Kingdom. Each licensee's results are measured from its own districts' payment records, and we publish results only once they have been measured, never before.
