Citizens are an important part of accountability. By observing conditions, reporting issues, and sharing feedback, communities help improve public services.
Citizen participation supports transparency and helps decision-makers understand what is happening on the ground. Collective input is especially powerful when many people report similar concerns.
Every report contributes to a larger picture of service delivery across communities.
