DID YOU KNOW?
Nigeria got $5.6bn from foreign/domestic donors to combat the #COVID19 crisis. Pres @Mbuhari also released N2.3trn stimulus package to cushion the economic effects of the pandemic on small businesses and vulnerable groups.
How were these funds managed?

Findings have shown that only less than 10% of the funds have been accounted for. Fact? The flow of funds makes corruption and emergencies feed off each other, as the need for urgency in disbursing aid or stimulus packages form a perfect avenue for massive corruption.
Unfortunately, corruption and the lack of transparency in the allocation of resources weakens the efficiency of #COVID191 crisis responses & the overall management of the pandemic. To help the situation, we've been tracking funds disbursement & utilization in 7 African countries.
