ActionAid launches anti-corruption project

A new five-year project flags off on December 11 to chart new course in the fight against corruption.

The project, Strengthening Citizens Resistance Against Prevalence of Corruption (SCRAP-C), and implemented by Action Aid Nigeria aims to “look at the fight against corruption through social norm lenses, and complement the law and enforcement approach that has been in existence in Nigeria.”

SCRAP-C, monikered #ScrapCorruptionNG and funded by the UK Department for International Development, will employ social marketing tools, research, advocacy, citizen’s mobilisation, media engagements and capacity development to achieve change in behaviour toward corruption, the implementers said in a release.

“Therefore it will be more practical and beneficial for Nigerians to key into this innovative project to seek for desired behaviour change against corruption.”

Four other partners will take responsibility for communities and groups engagements across six strategic states—Akwa-Ibom, Bornu, Enugu, Kaduna, Kano, Jigawa, and Lagos, and the FCT.
