Promoting Democratic Governance in North-West

The project focuses on enhancing the capacity of 20 journalists in the North-West region of Nigeria. The capacity-building programme held in Kano state equipped journalists with essential skills, techniques, and ethics necessary for investigative reporting.

Additionally, a Media/CSO dialogue was convened, facilitating collaboration between journalists and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) dedicated to promoting accountability and transparency.

Through real-time investigative reporting, this initiative aimed to hold the government accountable while fostering dialogue between media professionals and CSOs.

The project aimed to institutionalise a systemic structure for engagement, develop civic mechanisms to hold the government accountable, and promote citizens’ participation in creating a corruption-free society.

By strengthening journalistic capacity and fostering collaboration between media and CSOs, the project sought to contribute to a more transparent and accountable governance framework in the North-West region of Nigeria.
