Tracka Mobile 2.0 Application

Developed by the Nigerian non-profit organisation BudgIT as part of the Strengthening Civic Advocacy and Local Engagement (SCALE) project, with support from USAID, Tracka Mobile 2.0 Application aims to provide citizens with information and resources to increase their engagement with government projects and services. Users can access information on all federal projects in a given state for a given year. They can also search for and report on projects that directly impact their communities. In addition, the app provides visibility into monthly federal allocations to users' respective local government areas, and serves as an important platform for citizens to connect with their government. Users post about community needs and participate in voting processes to prioritise these needs.
