With the support of SPIDER, WOUGNET has embarked on a project to empower local people and communities to monitor districts' services delivery through ICTs. WOUGNET plans to make strategic and innovative use of ICTs in order to increase the capacity of grassroot populations to demand better services from their leadership. In particular, the project will target women, through their community based organizations and women groups, who will be supported to be able to monitor service delivery in their districts and to fight corruption through exposure of the state of service delivery. WOUGNET in collaboration with like-minded partners will establish a platform for documenting and disseminating the voices of grassroot people on corruption and service delivery in different locations of Uganda.
