Ushahidi platform used for monitoring Togo Elections

It is often very encouraging to see adoption and use of the Ushahidi platform in Africa, and the Togo Election map certainly adds to the excitement the Ushahidi team feels when individuals and organizations download, customize and spearhead projects. The elections in Togo are being held today, and Kokou Etou set up this implementation to help aggregate information. He partnered with IFES (international Foundation for Electoral Systems) and other organizations working in Togo to visualize the info and put it online.

This will be particularly helpful to Kokou and his partners as they have already done some preliminary outreach through online forums and radio ads.
