We are SEMA

We gather citizen feedback to improve public services.

By 2030, all service providers in East Africa will use citizen feedback to improve their service delivery.

CITIZENS ARE TALKING

People around the world are willing to share their opinions on public services. But this feedback rarely goes to the right place.

ENTER SEMA

SEMA has developed a system for gathering citizen feedback about public services.
(Already, tens of thousands of users!)

YOUR VOICE IS HEARD

We deliver citizen feedback to the people that run public services, so that they can improve what they do.

SEMA STORY
SEMA's story is our guiding beacon for our entire journey.

In a space where power often overshadows the voices of ordinary people, giving feedback can feel like a privilege, one not equally accessible to all. Deep-rooted mistrust between duty bearers and the communities they serve has bred apathy.

Many citizens doubt the power of their voices to drive institutional change. Others are simply ignorant about governance processes and how they can participate. Overwhelmed and often unheard, communities are searching for a safe space where they can speak freely.

SEMA provides that space!

SEMA makes a difference in the lives of citizens, our trainees, and those who manage and improve public institutions.

These monthly reports help us evaluate our staff, we check the departments that have not performed well and find out what the limitations to good performance are and we are able to address them accordingly. For example, if clients are taking long to get service because of understaffing at the reception, we deploy a few more staff to that section.

We appreciate SEMA because we were lacking a client feedback component and we also appreciate it because our funders also consider these reports.
