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
Ward-level baseline across eleven SACCS domains — from household profile and service access to safety, civic participation, and institutional trust.
Ward-level SDG reporting
SACCS cross-walks to the UN SDG indicator set. The same data collection produces a community capability baseline and a ward-level SDG dashboard, ready for national and international reporting.
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
The Simmering Pot framework identifies when communities are moving from latent discontent toward active unrest. Built for municipalities, provincial departments, and the private-sector operators — mines, farms, industrial estates, retail footprints — embedded in those same communities and needing the same early signal.
IDP evidence layer
Ward-level evidence that sits inside the Integrated Development Plan cycle — one source of truth for councillors, officials, and oversight committees.
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.
The mapping is described at domain level. A question-level mapping is under development. Use this as the conversation starter with your SDG reporting lead.
- SDG 1 — Household Profile, Financial Capability
- SDG 2 — Health & Nutrition (FIES sub-scale)
- SDG 3 — Health & Nutrition; Agency & Wellbeing
- SDG 4 — Education & Human Capital
- SDG 5 — Cross-cutting; Tier One GBV flag
- SDG 6 — Material Living Conditions
- SDG 8 — Economic Participation
- SDG 10 — Whole-instrument focus
- SDG 11 — Environment & Safety; Civic Participation
- SDG 16 — The Lid layer (institutional trust)
- SDG 17 — Wakamoso's operating model
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.
