ACFODE TAKES PART IN SMS HOTLINE LAUNCH

Do you have an issue of concern with the electoral process? Well, ACFODE, being a member of (Democracy Monitoring Group) DEM Group, has a solution. During the recent launch of the Citizen's Reporting hotline, ACFODE and other stakeholders were able to bridge the gap between citizens and smooth running of elections. The Citizen's Reporting SMS hotline is a quick and effective solution for citizens to raise issues of concern during the electoral process. There have been several complaints of long lines, insufficient time and lack of adequate information. This hotline, 6090, costs only one hundred UGX across all networks and once an issue is raised, there is an instant response. We encourage all of you to make this information as accessible as possible to your constituents and friends in order for smooth running of elections. Vote wisely. DEM group is partnering with UgandaWatch 2011, an independent body not connected with any political party of government. Once you SMS, your privacy will be respected. ACFODE is also celebrating 25 years this year and is excited to make you a part of 25 years of women's progress in Uganda and beyond. Amongst the programmes are Monitoring of Institutions mandated to promote democracy and good governance from a gender perspective. As citizens, the power is in our hands to make informed constitutional choices.
