Abstract
This paper draws from previous research on crowd-civic systems to present the case of Mobadarat, an open innovation platform to crowdsource ideas and solutions to contribute to the COVID-19 response. Mobadarat leverages local capacities and digital infrastructure to channel ideation and solutions sourced from the local community. The paper also considers the issue of building trust between different stakeholders in this process and suggest further lines of research on civic technologies.
