WHAT IS SERVICE DELIVERY

By enabling more transparent and accountable reporting, the Awe app is helping to build a stronger and more engaged civil society in South Africa. Through the app's reporting system, service providers are better able to respond to community needs, resulting in improved service delivery. The Awe app is therefore contributing to the development of more sustainable and resilient communities in South Africa.
