A
big part of my world in Nigeria is working on anti-corruption and contributing
towards tackling illicit financial flows.
We are doing things differently in the sense that national partners are
really collaborating effectively.
Getting government agencies together in one room and engaging
constructively is often challenging. But this week the Independent Corrupt
Practices Commission, National Orientation Agency and National Youth Service
Corp were convened by Youth Alive Foundation (a national CSO funded under
DFID’s Anti-Corruption in Nigeria Programme) to discuss joint working for the
period ahead at this Capacity Building and
Action Planning Workshop.

Civil
Society convening government agencies is interesting because this shows more
balanced relationships developing between state and non-state actors and a
stronger focus on national actions
against corrupt. This is what Nigeria
needs.
