Our Approach
We:
Collate and curate as accurately as possible all data on how our government structures work, starting at the most profound levels of government.
Foster accountability by combing through the specifics of government for young people.
Provide a fun, engaging civic education platform especially for young people.
Take deep looks at the districts and people across Uganda with the specific purpose of sharing it with citizens so that they can participate in their country’s growth by donating towards socio-economic challenges.
Our Story
The Citizen Report was born in 2021 to make civics education widely accessible for the mostly young citizenry of Uganda and to foster civic engagement through fun, easily consumable and informative content.
We believe that a civically engaged public makes for well-informed communities as both leadership and citizens are equipped with knowledge of their responsibilities to each other and their society.
The Citizen Report continually seeks to evolve and innovate simplified ways to engage citizens on the ground and online whilst also imparting critical skills like fact-checking.
Our hope is that this model can be shared continent-wide so that Africa grows historically aware and civically interested generations.
Our Mission
To build a civically engaged citizenry in Uganda.
The information’s out there; how our country got started, what it’s been through, how things should run and why the mechanics of the system MATTER to the everyday citizen.
Our mission is simple: to gather that information and disseminate it in a way that makes the connection between the civic process and the day-to-day lives of Ugandans clearer, so we can get more people involved in defining our country’s future.
Our Vision
It will take years, possibly a generation, but our vision is that of a national civic culture grounded in knowledge, community, and inclusive action.
Love of country grows from within and spills over. It should not be defined by external policies and rules. TO nurture this growth, we are empowering a generation to redefine our civic narrative as a country.
