As part of our public expenditure tracking initiatives, FoN mounts accountability billboards in zonal and area councils within the districts where we work. These billboards serve as public information tools, displaying clear and accessible details about the revenue generated and how it is used by district assemblies.
By publishing information such as market fees, tolls, and allocations for community projects, the billboards make it possible for citizens to see how public resources are mobilized and spent. This reduces speculation and mistrust, while creating opportunities for residents to ask informed questions and hold their assemblies accountable.
The accountability billboards also act as a feedback mechanism. Communities can verify whether projects listed are actually being implemented, and share concerns if funds are not being used as intended. In this way, the billboards become a bridge between assemblies and citizens, helping to demystify financial information and promote transparency in local governance.
Through this simple yet powerful initiative, FoN strengthens the practice of open governance at the grassroots. By making public expenditure data visible and accessible, we empower citizens to engage actively in governance processes, demand accountability, and build trust with their assemblies.
👉 Together, we can make governance more transparent, responsive, and people-centered. Join us in demanding accountability and strengthening local democracy.
