Raising standards of accountability in government
We have seen a substantial rise in philanthropy in Africa during COVID-19 pandemic. Various individuals, corporate organizations and foreign governments have been donating funds to aid COVID-19 response in Nigeria. However, there is lack of clarity on how the donations are spent which is why BudgIT is working to track government expenditure on COVID-19 response measures implemented, advocating transparency in the Nigerian government on budget and expenditure.
