Let's explore how U-Report works

Polls:

UNICEF and partners (Government departments, other UN agencies and NGOs) use U-Report polls to collect information directly from young people on a wide range of issues.  This information is used to help shape policies and programmes and to provide feedback to U-Reporters. Check out the polls Here

In addition to shaping the activities, young people use U-Report to share their views and experiences in education, violence in and out of school, and other important issues they want to discuss and be heard on.

Poll responses are analyzedd in real-time, mapped and displayed on a public dashboard at the local level, ensuring the feedback can be actioned by local and national governments.

Live chats (case management):
