Our Core Mandate

A year-round accountability organisation

USHAF is not an election-season project. Everything we do sits under two permanent mandates.

Mandate One

Democratic Accountability & Election Integrity

Empowering citizens to monitor elections, track governance, report public-interest concerns and demand accountability.

  • Election integrity & observation — OJÚTÓLÉ
  • Governance & project tracking — budgets, allocations, capital projects
  • Citizen Helpdesk — service failures, corruption & public grievances
Mandate Two

Civic Participation & Information Integrity

Equipping citizens with the knowledge, information and platforms needed to participate meaningfully in democratic life.

  • Fact-checking & verification — Olóbó Alert
  • Civic education — Òmìnira radio & Amòyẹ Explainer Hub
  • Youth bootcamps, peace circles, fellowships & community training
What We Do

Four core areas of work

Four mandate areas, one conviction: accountability is not optional. Delivered through our civic-tech tools, community networks, and trained volunteers.

Fact-Checking & Verification

Through the Olóbó Alert Network, we detect and verify rumours, misinformation and viral claims at community level — anonymously, before they escalate.

Civic engagement & training is the engine behind all four areas — the Òmìnira radio series (100,000+ listeners), 500+ youth trained, journalism fellowships, peace circles and community training under Àjùmọ̀ṣe and Amòyẹ. See our programmes →

Flagship Platform · OJÚTÓLÉ

Verify. Track. Follow the Money.

OJÚTÓLÉ is our citizen election reporting and verification platform — one of USHAF's civic-tech tools. During the Osun State Governorship Election of 15 August 2026, citizens across the state reported what they witnessed; our trained verification chain checked every report; confirmed incidents were escalated to the appropriate authorities.

Strictly nonpartisan. Complementing — never replacing — accredited observers. Only INEC declares results.
