Seven teams yesterday took up the challenge to go head-to-head in this year’s Hackathon, beginning two full days of coding to develop an application to manage tax collection for local authorities.
Participants of this year’s Hackathon, an application development competition, have been challenged to build an application that can be used by Municipalities and Neighbourhood Democratic Councils (NDCs) to manage tax collection and incident reporting from citizens.
Its second year running, the Hackathon is being hosted at the Grand Savannah Suite of the Pegasus Hotel by the Ministry of Public Telecommunications under the theme, “Hack to the Future.”
