BudgIT with support from the United Nation Democracy Funds held a two-day capacity building workshop in Kaduna on April 12 and 13, 2017 with community-based organisations (CBOs) from 20 states across the country and members of the press.
The goal of the workshop is to empower the community officers to successfully engage citizens at the grassroots to actively participate and monitor the implementation of constituency projects in their communities using BudgIT’s Tracka, a platform where people irrespective of their location can collaborate, track and give feedback on public projects around them.
Tracka has monitored over 5,000 capital projects from 2014 till date and provided citizens access to constituency project provisions in their area over the years. The event was held at Top Galaxy Hotel Kaduna with 30 participants from across the country where BudgIT revealed it was expanding Tracka, its project tracking tool to 4 new States in addition to the existing 16 states.
