The Value for Money platform, developed by Paradigm Leadership Support Initiative (PLSI), is a civic technology tool designed to empower citizens to participate in accountability efforts. It enables users to track public spending on government’s programs and projects, report cases of fiscal abuses and procurement irregularities and submit petitions to anti-corruption agencies at national and subnational levels in Nigeria.
The upgraded version of the platform incorporates AI-enabled features that streamline petition submission, improve user experience, and automate citizen-government engagement. New capabilities, such as data protection policies and anonymous petitions related to service delivery and public finance management, are now automated. Petitions that once took weeks or even months to submit to anti-corruption agencies can now be completed in under five minutes using the enhanced “Value for Money” platform.
The platform is designed for all Nigerian citizens, civil society organizations, public sector actors, anti-corruption stakeholders and other users interested in improving governance and public service delivery in Nigeria.
