Structuring scattered county data into one interface people can actually use
One civic-information structure across many counties
Kenya's 47 counties publish budgets, projects and public documents through different formats, portals and naming conventions. KenyaYetu tests what it would take for residents, journalists and investors to find that information in one place, structured consistently.
County information is dispersed across incompatible systems. Our task was not to pretend the underlying data is more complete than it is, but to design a structure honest enough to hold real gaps and clear enough for people who do not understand county bureaucracy.
We led product direction, information architecture, interface design and independent technical delivery, building the prototype end to end.
- Structure information around counties and the questions people actually ask
- Define one consistent navigation and search pattern across every county
- Translate budgets and project registers into a plain, usable interface
- Build the structure to extend as more counties and datasets are added
- Civic-information architecture
- County exploration interface
- Search and browsing patterns
- Deployable working prototype
- Usable structure for messy and inconsistent public data
- Translation of bureaucratic sources for non-specialist readers
- End-to-end delivery from information architecture to working interface
Bring this capability to a live brief.
County governments, PBOs and civic organisations often hold information that is technically public but practically unusable,buried in PDFs, split across departments or written for insiders. We structure that material and turn it into interfaces people can navigate.
