TRAC FM facilitates interaction between citizens and policy makers through innovative media strategies and custom made software. TRAC's water projects (Wottazela) have been running for over 5 years with great success. The Watershed empowering citizens programme is a strategic partnership between the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (in particular the IGG department, DSO and relevant embassies) and IRC, Simavi, Wetlands International and Akvo. The Watershed programme started in 2016 and until 2020 it will deliver improvements in the governance and management of water, sanitation and hygiene services as well as of the water resources on which they draw.

The programme is running in Uganda among other 5 countries by strengthening the capacity of national civil society to lobby government and other WASH duty bearers. This will lead to measurable improvements in the quality and sustainability of WASH services in these countries. 

TRAC FM's Wottazella 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.
