  Local Government Information Management System

Inspiration My friend was struggling to digitize operations for his local government area in Nigeria. The development quotes he received were unreasonably expensive, with timelines that didn’t make sense. When Bolt launched its hackathon, I stepped in to help—building a Local Government Management Portal using their platform. The system supports six local governments, each with a dedicated admin, all overseen by a central super admin. These local governments relied on fragmented, paper-based processes to manage staffing, budgets, and key performance metrics. I saw an opportunity to create a modern, centralized system that delivers transparency, efficiency, and accountability—helping local leaders make faster, data-driven decisions.

What it does IIJESAIDM is a web-based information management system designed for local government operations. It enables: KPI tracking for staffing levels, funding sources, and infrastructure metrics. Data entry and form submission across multiple LGAs (e.g., EastIllesia, WestIllesia). Benchmarking and reporting between districts, and automatic comparisons to national targets. MainGov dashboard to view, monitor, and export regional performance data. It empowers local leaders to act on insights, not assumptions.

How we built it Bolt AI frontend development React + Tailwind CSS (via Bolt) for clean and responsive UI AI prompt engineering (via Bolt’s OpenAI integration) Supabase (db) Netlify LLM (OpenAI API) the whole project was in Bolt (prompting), database: supabase, Netlify hosting

Challenges we ran into Data schema consistency: Ensuring KPIs from multiple LGAs mapped correctly to shared standards Real-time sync between frontend UI and backend for multi-region updates Permission layers: Implementing different access levels without adding friction to the user experience

Accomplishments that we're proud of Created a full working prototype in days, not weeks

Enabled cross-region comparison of performance for the first time in this context

Deployed a tool local governments can use without technical staff

Designed with future AI agent integration in mind

What we learned Real-world problems often need simple, modular solutions that evolve with the user

Local governments are eager for tools, but adoption requires clear UX and minimal training

Rapid platforms like Bolt.new let us iterate 10x faster than traditional development

What's next for IIJESAIDM: Local Government Information Management System Generate Report efficiently Improve/update on AI Command Center Add AI agents to automate performance flagging, grant writing, and report summaries Build a public transparency dashboard for citizens to view performance metrics
