U-Report has integrated Messenger to expand the reach of this real-time social messaging tool: a project designed to empower people and communities to speak out on issues that they care about, encourage citizen-led development, respond to humanitarian emergencies, and magnify voices globally to create positive change. U-Report is currently live in 22 countries and has already engaged more than 2 million young people around the world to speak out and achieve social change.
