UPDI seeks to provide a platform through which community engagement and the voice of the people are elevated, leading to the provision of insight on impact of governmental action and policy while at the same time, adopting scientific research methods and factual analysis by our in-house team and Fellows to frame the issues for proper contextualization and public consumption. The results are then channeled through publications, advocacy and community action for the purposes of making society and her people better off. In essence we work through Community Engagement and People’s Voices; Research; Advocacy; Provide and Support Activities/Community Action. Our specific activities encompass but not limited to training and capacity building on citizen journalism, educational outreaches on governmental policies, and livelihood training skills and frequent media engagement and tools.
