The training was received in good faith and the community was really appealing and ready to join such that they can speak and be heard. They indicated how they have been failing to reach their leaders and express their community concerns. The training on how to become a U-reporter was a dream come true to the people of Harughale.

At the Hackitegya Community Polytechnic Institute, the story was different since the people that were training on how to subscribe and become U-reporters were only teachers since the students had gone home for holidays.

The mobilization was done both on the local radio station i.e. UBC/VOB (Voice of Bundibugyo) radio and through phone calls to some few people that the trainer knew and could help him reach out to other people.

The training was attended by both male and female, all able bodied people. At Harughale, the Total number of participants was 31, where 25 were Male and 6 Female. At the end of the training, 16 participants subscribed to U-report, those who did not subscribe had no mobile phones, and at Hackitegya Community Polytechnic Institute, the Total number of participants was 8 and all male. The 8 participants all at the end of the training had subscribed to U-report. 
At the end of the training, in Bundibugyo, we attained 24 subscribers.
