The Abavubi App
Federation of Fisheries Organizations Uganda (FFOU) with support from GIZ-RFBCP under the German government developed the ABAVUBI Fisher Mobile App. The ABAVUBI app as an appropriate emerging remedy provides effective assistance to this situation. This software application allows the fisher folk to easily and securely track, store, and analyze business and fisheries data. In addition to that, the app also gives the user access to weather forecasts, market information, and navigation data. All these aspects aim to build stronger fish businesses, improve market access, and strengthen the fishing communities’ role in co-management of the water resources. The Abavubi App is designed to facilitate health service access, support end-user enrollment in health and wellness programs, and provide comprehensive health data insights that align with national Health Management Information System (HMIS) indicators.
