TRAC FM's water campaigns under the name 'Wottazela' has successfully provided the Dutch Watershed program with citizen feedback on water provision. Wottazela 3.0 ran under the Watershed programme in collaboration with
HEWASA, Simavi, IRC and Radio Jubilee in Fort Portal, Uganda. The campaign
aimed to retrieve citizen feedback in Kabarole District through radio shows
and poll questions about the governance and management of water,
sanitation and hygiene services as well as of the water resources in
communities. This campaign gathered more evidence-based feedback
which is needed for effective dialogue within the Watershed programme.
