[Mzima] Ushahidi Platform User Manual



This guide has been updated based on content created on the initial support documentation by Sophie Shepherd, and new content on previously undocumented features by members of the Ushahidi team.


This manual gives you a step by step overview of how to set up an Ushahidi [Mzima] deployment, and how to make full use of the features the platform offers.


This manual will show you how to install the Ushahidi platform, sign up for an ushahidi account, customise it to meet the needs of your project, manage people and incoming data, as well as visualise and analyse your data. It is meant to be a comprehensive learning guide for brand new users of the platform, as well as a reference point for those who may have some prior experience using the platform.


If you need some guidance or have questions, reach out to us via:
