A Senegalese civic platform for reporting urban problems and coordinating neighborhood follow-up.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-05 issue.

For: Dakar residents reporting neighborhood infrastructure problems
Worth noticing: The site lists 19 Dakar communes and reports 1,250+ verified alerts; these figures are presented by the project.

Field notes

The site describes residents submitting geotagged reports about issues such as damaged roads, sanitation, lighting, and waste. It says volunteer “Sentinelles Civiques” verify alerts and transmit them to relevant actors; recent update cards also describe offline submission with later syncing and Wolof voice notes. The project reports 8,400+ citizens mobilized and an 82% handling rate, figures presented on the homepage rather than independently verified here.
