Uganda  Approach  to  Real-­‐Time  Informa-on  

Ureport  

Currently,  there  are  over  31,000  registered  Ureporters  in  Uganda,  from  every  District  in  the  country!  

Ureport        How  does  it  work?  

Weekly  SMS  polls  (including  maternal  and  child  health,  domes-c  violence  and  access  to  safe  water).  –  Avg  response  rate:  25%  

Best  responses  and  results  are  sent  back  by  SMS    to  the  Ureporter  community.  

Ureport        How  does  it  work?  

Have  you  seen  violence  against  youth  or  children  in  your  community?  

YES  (81.4%),    NO  (12.7%),  UNKNOWN  (5.9%)  

“Jus-ce  and  law  already  exist  but  its  implementa-on  and  enforcement  needs  to  be  strengthened  for  us  to  achieve  change.”  

 “Reckless  bea-ng  of  women  tear  gas  which  didn't  spare  even  children”      

Ureport        -­‐  Poll  Results  

Not  just  about  data…  but  rather  to  increase  Ureporters  knowledge  of  their  rights,  provoke  awareness  of  the  situa-on  in  their  community,  and  promote  dialogue  and  ac-ons  to  find  solu-ons  to  local  problems.      

Ureport        How  does  it  work?  

UNICEF  is  using  this  informa-on  as  part  of  na-onal  level  advocacy  work,  sending  alerts  to  government  and  civil  society  stakeholders  responsible  for  follow-­‐up,  and  making  it  available  to  the  general  public.  

Ureport        How  is  the  data  being  used?
