Working in government often means juggling complex tasks and challenges. Have you ever wondered if there are ways to streamline these processes and manage your workload more efficiently? We at ChangeMakers would like to introduce you to the power of low-code technology. In fact, low-code can help you regardless of whether you work in the province or the central government.
What is low-code?
Low-code technology is like a secret superpower in the world of software development. It allows you to quickly build applications with little to no programming. Can you imagine easily automating your administrative tasks without being an expert in programming? It really is possible with low-code.

Why low-code for government?
Governments face unique challenges: limited budgets, complex regulations and the need to deliver services to citizens quickly and efficiently. Low-code can provide an important solution here for the following reasons:
- Efficiency and cost savings
Are you facing limited budgets and pressure to work more efficiently? Low-code can help you streamline your operational processes and automate routine tasks. Can you already imagine the time and cost savings?
- Improve citizen service
Want to take citizen services to the next level? With low-code, you can build digital platforms or applications that give citizens easier and faster access to services.
- Flexibility and adaptability
Do you encounter frequently changing regulations and needs? Low-code offers the flexibility to respond quickly and easily to tomorrow’s changes.
- Improved security and compliance
Do you work in an environment with stringent security and compliance requirements? Low-code provides built-in security features and can be configured to meet specific regulations and standards. How valuable would it be to protect sensitive data? Moreover, you prevent rules from not being properly enforced.

Possible applications
Let’s look at some practical situations in which low-code can shine in the public sector:
- Permit management application
Applying for and processing permits can be a time-consuming process. With a low-code application, you can streamline these processes. This improves services to citizens and makes the organization work more efficiently.
- Public space hotline
Imagine if citizens could easily report problems in public spaces, such as a broken street light or overflowing trash cans. With low-code, you can create such an application, resulting in better citizen engagement and faster response to problems.
- App for incident management
Imagine having to manage a wide range of incidents ranging from environmental disasters to traffic problems. How useful would a tool be that helps you collect data, prioritize incidents, coordinate response and communicate with the public? A low-code-based app can accomplish this, resulting in more effective and efficient incident response.
- Digital participation app
You are in the shoes of a city manager and want to improve communication with citizens by getting them more involved in decision-making. A digital participation app, created with low-code, would then be a great solution. Such a platform would allow citizens to collect ideas, hold ballots and provide feedback on proposed city projects. The app could allow for more transparent and inclusive decision-making, while simultaneously increasing citizen satisfaction. Doesn’t that sound like a valuable improvement for your organization?
How does low-code work?
Low-code platforms work with a visual interface, where you can build applications using pre-programmed blocks and minimal manual coding. This makes application development more accessible, even to people without extensive programming experience. Citizen Development is what we call it.
Moreover, the flexibility of low-code allows for adaptation to specific needs, a big plus for any municipality, county or other government agency.
