Building Digital Public Infrastructure for Bangladesh

NagorikBD is a flagship civic technology initiative developed by Atlas AI Institute to demonstrate how artificial intelligence, open data, and digital public infrastructure can strengthen citizen services, climate resilience, public information accessibility, and government transparency.

The platform integrates fragmented public information into a unified, AI-powered experience that helps citizens access trusted information more efficiently while supporting evidence-informed governance.

NagorikBD is not intended to replace government systems. Instead, it complements existing public services by making information easier to discover, understand, and use.

Why NagorikBD

Accessing public information often requires citizens to navigate multiple websites and agencies. NagorikBD addresses this challenge by bringing together essential public information and AI-powered services into one integrated civic platform.

Our objective is to improve:

  • Citizen Information Access
  • Government Transparency
  • Climate Resilience
  • Community Participation
  • Digital Inclusion
  • AI-powered Public Services

AI-powered public services now make this possible at national scale — turning six separate goals into one integrated platform.

Building AI for Public Good

NagorikBD represents Atlas AI Institute's vision for responsible AI in the public sector.

We believe artificial intelligence should strengthen institutions, improve public services, empower citizens, and support climate resilience through trustworthy digital public infrastructure.
