Sunlight in Digital Technology: Procurement of Digital Technology Systems in Liberia, Nigeria and Uganda 

The procurement and deployment of Digital Technology Systems is playing a critical role in Africa’s economic development. However, questions have been raised regarding the secrecy around how they are procured and deployed, cost, source of funding, legal framework, safeguards around privacy security and inclusion. To try and understand these questions, AFIC in 2020 obtained a one-year US$150,000 grant to conduct research and dissemination activities in Liberia, Nigeria and Uganda. The project is being implemented in partnership with our members: Center for Media Studies and Peace Building (Liberia) and Public and Private Development Centre (Nigeria).
