A ward-level SDG operating system for municipalities.
South African municipalities are expected to report against the SDGs. Most do so against national averages — because ward-level SDG data does not exist. Wakamoso changes that. One community baseline, one ongoing evidence layer, one dashboard.
Community capability baseline
A ward-level read of community conditions across eleven domains — from services and safety to civic trust. See the C3B instrument on Our approach.
Ward-level SDG reporting
One community baseline produces both a capability read and a ward-level SDG dashboard, ready for national and international reporting. See the SDG Alignment Rubric.
Service delivery verification
Community-verified evidence on what service provision actually looks like on the ground — shelter, water, sanitation, electricity, waste, safety, and public-facility functioning.
Renewal & intervention monitoring
Before, during, and after a renewal programme — track sentiment, participation, and outcome indicators continuously instead of catching them at the end.
Social cohesion risk
Early signal on when communities are moving from latent discontent toward active unrest — for municipalities, provincial departments, and private-sector operators embedded in the same communities. See the Simmering Pot framework.
IDP evidence layer
Ward-level evidence that sits inside the Integrated Development Plan cycle — one source of truth for councillors, officials, and oversight committees.
Township Action Plans & Community Mapping
For municipalities scoping a Township Action Plan, a community-development strategy or a demographic and asset-mapping survey: the full four-way Community Mapping method. Voice (focus groups), Work Orientation (psychometric profile), Capability (CV and skills audit), and Conditions (3CB baseline). Delivers the situational analysis, asset-based community profile, participatory engagement, household surveys and co-designed action plan that municipal community-development tenders in this class routinely require — against one measurement backbone and one field-collection stack.

City of Cape Town — Uitsig renewal baseline
Wakamoso replaced a planning assumption of 68,000 residents with a ward-level verified estimate of 18,400 — in under three weeks. The baseline now underpins ongoing 2026 renewal sentiment and participation monitoring with Atterbury Property Fund.
Why this matters
Municipal planning based on wrong population estimates produces wrong budgets, wrong infrastructure decisions, and wrong service-delivery coverage. Community-verified data is cheaper to collect than to get wrong.
Eleven domains. Eleven SDGs.
Each C3B question is mapped to SDG targets on the basis of construct equivalence. The output is a bottom-up, ward-level SDG signal in exactly the communities where national surveys cannot produce reliable small-area estimates — a conversation starter with your SDG reporting lead.
One baseline. One evidence layer. One SDG dashboard.
We'll scope a pilot in one ward, deliver evidence, and show you what a municipal-scale rollout looks like.
