Because IT matters... ITvism is a Beirut-based civic tech and media innovation initiative, founded in 2011 to empower civil society through the innovative use of digital technology. We work at the intersection of technology, activism, and storytelling, promoting the use of open-source tools, multimedia, and scalable digital platforms to strengthen civic engagement, institutional accountability, an
d social impact. We believe that information technology and strategic media are powerful enablers — not only for civil society organizations (CSOs), but also for government technology (GovTech) initiatives seeking greater transparency, participation, and responsiveness. A Collaborative Journey
In 2013, ITvism joined forces with Wedia and Kamashtak, combining:
-Wedia’s leadership in social media and NGO training,
-Kamashtak’s bold civic campaigning and crowdsourced advocacy, and
-ITvism’s expertise in digital platforms and creative tech. This synergy evolved into a comprehensive digital and media hub for organizations seeking to drive positive change, both online and offline. Our Services

One of our most recognized initiatives, Kamashtak, harnessed crowdsourced data and grassroots energy to spotlight traffic violations and civic neglect in Beirut. By blending technology, GPS-enabled reporting, and guerrilla media tactics, the campaign established itself as a well-known model of digital activism, boasting measurable reach and media visibility.
