The ICIR project tagged “Using Investigative Journalism to promote Social Justice and Accountability Issues in West Africa”, is a two year project supported by Ford Foundation. The project aims at building the capacity of journalists on investigative data journalism to report on illicit financial flows and tax matters and also focuses on forging a collaboration between the media and civil society organisations in amplifying the social accountability and other works of the Civil Society Organisations through investigative reporting for more meaningful and enduring impact.

Timeline: The project will run for two years.
