U-Report Mexico
U-Report Mexico is a tool of social participation for monitoring. It is based on a free text messaging (SMS) service. Its objective is to strengthen community development and citizen participation. Each week users receive messages on issues that have a direct impact on their lives - such as with human rights, climate change, etc. - record responses and generate a report with this information. Subsequently, this report is presented to the responsible authorities.
