UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

Background:
 U-Report in Nigeria started in February 2014 and officially launched on April 29th, 2015.U-Report is a user-centered, social monitoring and community empowerment tool based on simple Short Message Service (SMS) messages (poll questions, results, and sharing of useful information) designed to strengthen community-led development, citizen engagement and positive change. U-Report relies on volunteer community members serving as U-Reporters on a free entry free exit basis to provide information to bring to light issues in their communities. U-Report allows citizens to speak-out on what is happening in their communities, provides a forum to amplify their voices through local and national media, sends alerts to key stakeholders about the issues their constituents are facing, and feeds back useful information to the U-Reporters, so they are empowered to work for positive change and improvements in their localities. The platform provides decision makers a forum to listen to millions of voices through simple messaging.
Four years after the start of U-Report Nigeria, 3 million U-Reporters are currently registered on the platform. This number will easily go up given that the potential is enormous in the continent’s largest economy with a population of over 173 million people.
