Girl Child Concerns

The previous support to GCC helped to promote transparency and prevent corruption in 70 schools in Kaduna state by monitoring the  school feeding program. With this tie-off award, GCC is establishing a network of community-based actors to use their monitoring and advocacy skills from tracking the school feeding program to demand accountability from local government authorities. The award contributes to On Nigeria’s goal of reducing corruption and strengthening accountability, transparency, and participation.
