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. Through the initiatives of WOUGNET and partners, the population will be made aware of the expected services within their communities that they should take advantage in order to improve their livelihoods and for poverty reduction and hence aware and empowered on the need to have good governance and service delivery within their communities. In this project, WOUGNET will be using crowdsourcing techniques as a key means of highlighjting the levels of service delivery in five districts of Apac, Kole, Oyam, Amuru and Gulu all located in Northern Uganda. |
