The aim of the project is to develop and implement an Open311 (http://open311.org/) civic engagement software application that will enable members of the public in two trial Barangay areas (Luz and Basak San Nicolas) to submit fault reports about pot-holes in the street and missing or broken street lights by SMS text message.  These SMS text reports will be checked and verified by a team of people working at each Barangay Hall before they are placed on a map base, using a web-based software tool similar to www.fixmystreet.com <http://www.fixmystreet.com>, and forwarded to the relevant local government departments (DEPW, DPWH, DPS).  If the trial is successful then the initiative may be deployed across the Metro-Cebu area.
