Hawkeye Africa

The only ward-level cartographic accountability platform in Africa. Free for citizens. Bespoke for institutions. The second pays for the first.

What we do

Hawkeye tracks every shilling, every project, and every elected leader, geolocated to the ward. We aggregate county budgets, treasury spending reports, Auditor-General findings, parliamentary records, and ward-level expenditure data into a single map-based platform — so citizens, journalists, civil-society organisations, donors, diplomatic missions, and reform-minded officials can see where public money goes and hold leaders accountable.

Live in Kenya across all 47 counties, 290 constituencies, and 1,450 wards. Active engagement in Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa — state governments, regional assemblies, and municipal governance respectively.

For citizens — free, always

The citizen platform at hawkeyekenya.com is free, ad-free, and funded entirely by institutional subscriptions. On it you can:

Search your ward and see every project funded under it.
Compare your ward to the next ward, and to the county average.
Read audit findings and spending anomalies tied to your leaders.
Leave a comment, rating, or voice note on a project — moderated, attributable to a handle or anonymous.
Subscribe to alerts when new audit data publishes for your ward.
