situations e.g. elections, MP performance) that would otherwise be unreported or under reported
• Creating an easy-to-use tool that is freely and instantly available to individuals, NGOs and other organizations allowing them to focus on mobilizing the content and the response
• Facilitate transparency and accountability by amplifying citizen voices with a consumer-focused tool, designed with areas with limited access in mind
• Developing ability for stakeholders in a particular situation to share and find data
