The project focuses on enhancing the capacity of 20 journalists in the North West region of Nigeria. Held in Kano, the capacity-building program 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 Organizations (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 institutionalize 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.
