This is the heart of GLOW Tracker, the moment where your observation becomes public, verified evidence. Here’s exactly how to submit a strong report.
Step 1: Find the project. Either browse to it directly, or use the search/filter tools t. Click “Report on this project.”
Step 2: Confirm the project. The report form opens with that project already selected, double-check it’s the right one before continuing.
Step 3: Describe what you observed. Be specific. Instead of “it’s not good,” try “the classroom block has no roof and construction has stopped for what looks like months, based on the overgrown grass around it.” Specific beats vague, every time.
Step 4: Select the status. Choose the option that matches what you actually saw: Not Started, Ongoing, Completed, or Abandoned.
Step 5: Give your rating. On a scale of 1 (very poor) to 10 (excellent), rate the project based on what you observed, quality of work, whether it matches what was promised, and whether it’s actually usable by the community.
Step 6: Attach your evidence. Upload a photo at minimum, audio is optional but strengthens your report considerably. You can speak about the project yourself or briefly interview a witness around the project location. (We’ll cover exactly what makes strong evidence in the next post.)
Step 7: Submit. That’s it, your report is now in the queue for verification.
What happens next? Your report won’t appear publicly right away. A moderator reviews it first, checking that the evidence matches the project and the description makes sense. Once approved, it’s published, and it immediately counts toward that sponsor’s public performance score.
One report can feel small. But multiply it by every citizen doing the same thing, on every project, across every state, and you get something no single monitor could ever produce: a live, crowd-verified picture of what government is actually delivering.
