• Facilitates the successful implementation of public policy by fostering behavioral change and social compliance.
• Strengthens accountability mechanisms by enabling an informed public to monitor and evaluate the delivery of public services.
• Promotes social cohesion by aligning public perception with national objectives regarding health, safety, and sustainable development.

How it is asked
