Background

Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA) is part of the global network of Open Society Foundations. OSIWA plays a dual role in the region as both an advocate and grant-maker by enabling itself to be agenda-setters both within and alongside other organizations working on the ground. The Foundation works through a unique combination of grant making, advocacy, partnership building and technical assistance. OSIWA’s mission is to promote and support open societies, inclusive democratic governance based on transparent and accountable institutions, active citizenry and economic advancement.
OSIWA is providing support to three strategic partners to strengthen the capacity of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) in the delivery of its mandate to establish and maintain a high standard of public morality in the conduct of government business and to ensure that the actions and behavior of public officers conform to the highest standards of public morality and accountability[2]. OSIWA seeks to achieve this through three Reserve Fund projects as follows:
Strengthening Assets Declaration systems for public officials to improve transparency and accountability in Nigeria – the project is being implemented by Socio-Economic Right and Accountability Project (SERAP). Through litigation, SERAP seeks to ensure compliance on what the law says should be done and disclosure of assets declaration forms to the public. SERAP is also expanding the scope/definition of „public servant‟ in the constitution. The duration of project is 12 Months, to end by November 2020.
Reforming Nigeria’s Assets Declaration Framework – the project s being implemented by Centre for Social Justice Limited by Guarantee (CSJ). Through collaboration with the National Assembly, CSJ seeks to review the Code of Conduct Bureau Act to ensure public access to assets declaration. CSJ is also closing gaps on the asset declaration forms, creating more awareness on asset declaration and advocating for more funds for CCB. The duration of project is 12 Months, to end by November 2020.
Strengthening Assets Declaration Compliance and Assets Verification in Nigeria – the project being implemented by Integrity Organisation seeks to demonstrate how trends and trend analyses could be used to interrogate assets declaration forms by building a prototype system for CCB to adopt. This will entail ensuring that CCB owns the change, getting broad stakeholder groups to support CCB, and demonstrating what the change looks like and what it can achieve. The duration of project is 15 months, to end by February 2021. Integrity Organisation Ltd also serves as a shadow coordinating platform for the three projects.
A crucial unifying goal for the three projects – seeks to humanize the impact of corruption through new forms of storytelling by using the lens of the arts/creative arts to describe the damages done at all levels of society. Public servants appear able to live well beyond their means in the face of public apathy. The projects through the use of storytelling, aim to raise critical consciousness of Nigerians to respond to this crisis stemming from an absence of consequence for the bulk of public servants. The content generated by processes and outputs of the partners need to develop more traction with the people through strategic storytelling.
