About TrackaNG
The monitoring organization which is a project by BudgIT Nigeria, – a civic tech organization with focus on raising the standards of transparency, citizen engagement and accountability most especially in public finance.
Tracka was established by BudgIT in July 2014 to address critical issues surrounding social and economic development in Nigeria, specifically the lack of citizens inclusion in developmental projects, an ever-increasing number of abandoned projects and poor execution of the few projects implemented.
The goal is to open up public finances to the wider Nigerian populace, making them vanguards for service delivery and transparency. Tracka’s goal is to expand citizens’ understanding of the budget, in particular on the contextual issues affecting them, to raise demand for citizen information about government budgets and budget implementation, according to its website.
