• What is TRAC FM?

    TRAC FM is a new innovative software platform using radio and SMS to enable you to track citizen reports and collect citizen feedback.

    Based on poll questions, listeners can vote and air their voices through a toll-free SMS line (free of charge) and interact with the radio studio through a real-time visualization

    TRAC FM engages citizens in meaningful public debate and changes them from passive listeners to active participants.
