Welcome to the MobiSAM blog
Welcome to the MobiSAM blog. MobiSAM is a Mobile Social Accountability Monitoring platform and a citizen participation tool that allows citizens and civic actors to engage with the government on service delivery.
MobiSAM is currently being rolled out in Makana Municipality, located in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa.
Makana Municipality is planning on using MobiSAM to communicate more effectively and efficiently with residents around public services and citizens can equally benefit by being able to communicate with the municipality and report problems directly to the municipality through mobile phones. MobiSAM hopes to spread to other municipalities in the Eastern Cape.
MobiSAM is gearing up to launch its application in Makana in September 2016. Once live and running MobiSAM will allow registered users to:
- Report service delivery problems using any type of mobile phone;
- Receive important service delivery information/notices or responses to reported cases directly from the municipality;
- Collate and visualise reported problems so that all registered users can monitor reported cases;
