English term or phrase: civic technology
This comes from a report on measures to improve transparency between the government and its citizens. The term (which I am unfamiliar with) is explained in Wikipedia as:

"Civic technology, or civic tech, enhances the relationship between the people and government with software for communications, decision-making, service delivery, and political process. It includes information and communications technology supporting government with software built by community-led teams of volunteers, nonprofits, consultants, and private companies as well as embedded tech teams working within government."

Explanation:
Det ser ut som om det engelska uttrycket används i Sverige just nu i alla fall. Det finns ett företag som kallar sig Civic Tech och som är aktivt inom just det område du beskriver och de, och Vinnova, använder civic tech i svenska texter.

Ett bättre alternativ vore civiltech, analogt med civilsamhället, men det får inga googleträffar.
