U-Reporters sign up voluntarily for anyone aged 14-24 in 8 Pacific Island Countries (Cook Islands, Fiji, Niue, Samoa, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu).
Simply open the Facebook Messenger app and search for U-Report Pacific and begin the conversation with “JOIN”. Once the registration is complete, U-Reporters receive regular polls asking for their opinions on issues such as health care, education, protection, and other available services in their communities.
Answers are analyzed and displayed on a public dashboard with answers consisting of a mix of qualitative and quantitative data, which are then mapped according to region and compiled on a national level.
Results are shared with all U-Reporters with emerging issues explored further via additional questions and responses, thus building a cohesive citizen-led dialogue on social development and human/child rights that is communicated to policymakers and publicized in the media to influence social change.
