Street Watch Africa

Report it. Track it.
Get it fixed.

Dark street? Dumpsite? Crater? Report it.

Takes about a minute. Every report is mapped, sent to the people responsible, and tracked until it is fixed. The whole city can see how long that takes.

5Who is responsible for fixing it?

We suggest the agency that usually handles this. Change it if you know better, or choose "Not sure".

Only used to send you updates on this report. Usually a Nigerian number. If your WhatsApp is on a foreign number, add its country code, e.g. +44. Only our team sees it. It is never shown publicly or shared with agencies.

When you submit, your photo, the location and the problem details are shown publicly and sent to the agency responsible. Please avoid photographing people's faces or number plates.

Lagos is live. Which state is next?

You can report from any state today. Lagos is the first state where our team also sends each report to the agency and follows it up. The most requested states open next.

Can you help us open there? (optional)

We'll message you when it opens there. Only our team sees it.

Privacy note

Last updated 13 October 2026

Street Watch Africa is run by Africa Elysium in Lagos, Nigeria. This note explains what we collect when you use it, what the public can see, and your choices. Questions or requests: infoafricaelysium@gmail.com.

What we collect

We do not ask for your name, and you do not need an account to report.

What is public

Every report is public on the map and dashboard: the photo, location, street, problem details, status, dates and how many people reported it. State votes are shown only as totals. Your WhatsApp number and device code are never public.

Why we use it

We use your information because you choose to submit it, and because reporting public problems serves the public interest.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your information or use it for advertising.

Photos

Please photograph the problem, not people. Avoid faces, number plates and the inside of homes. We remove or replace photos that show people or private details if we spot them or if you ask us.

How long we keep it

Reports stay public as part of the record of what was reported and fixed. We delete WhatsApp numbers within 6 months of a report being fixed, or sooner if you ask. Contact details left with a state vote (WhatsApp, email, name and organisation) are deleted within 12 months, or sooner if you ask.

Your choices and rights

You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, delete your WhatsApp number, remove a photo, or review a report you made. Email infoafricaelysium@gmail.com with the report ID if you have it. We reply within 30 days. If you are not satisfied, you can complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.

Changes

If we change this note, we will update the date at the top.

Terms of use

Last updated 13 October 2026

Street Watch Africa is built and run by Africa Elysium in Lagos, Nigeria. By using it, you agree to these terms. Questions: infoafricaelysium@gmail.com.

What Street Watch is

A public record of street problems: what was reported, where, how many people confirmed it, and when it was fixed. We are independent. We are not a government agency, and we cannot promise when or whether a problem will be fixed. For emergencies, call 112.

Independent and non-partisan

Street Watch Africa is independent. We do not support or oppose any political party, candidate or office holder. We do not run campaigns, and we do not accept funding, sponsorship or partnerships from political parties, candidates or campaign groups.

We name agencies, never politicians. The public record is the same for everyone: any journalist, community group, researcher or campaign can see the same map and data, and no one gets private access. Reports, photos and data may not be used to suggest that Street Watch Africa endorses anyone.

Reporting fairly

Your photos and reports

You keep ownership of what you submit. By submitting, you give Africa Elysium a free, worldwide, ongoing permission to show it publicly, send it to the agencies responsible, and use it in public reports, research and stories about how problems get fixed.

How we moderate

Our team may verify, merge, edit details of, hide or remove reports, and limit devices that break these terms. Reports are removed when they are fake, duplicated, unsafe or show private details.

Our name, app and data

The Street Watch Africa name and logo, the app, its design and code, and the collected report data belong to Africa Elysium. You may share and link to individual reports freely. Do not copy the app, scrape or bulk download the data, or present it as your own without our written permission. Journalists, researchers and partners can request data by email.

No guarantees

Reports come from the public. We work to keep them accurate, but the information is provided as it is. As far as the law allows, Africa Elysium is not responsible for losses that come from relying on it.

Privacy

How we handle your information is set out in our .

Changes and law

If we change these terms, we will update the date at the top. These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
