This week we sit down with IGR’s Data Manager, Gilbert Allieu, to discuss the recent creation of a digital election’s app known as Sense Bod. Sense Bod is an election’s app for smartphone users that provides a high-tech civic education platform that seeks to educate citizens on Sierra Leone’s electoral system, laws & regulations that govern the 2023 elections. In addition, the app also contains a number of documents such as political party manifestos, the Women’s Manifesto, the Citizen’s Manifesto and other key social demands made by a variety of actors across society. The app provides both textual answers as well as audio for citizens that are disabled or those that would rather listen to an explanation than read text. The objective of Sense Bod is to educate as many citizens as possible on the laws & regulations that govern the upcoming June 24 elections.
