YouthGovTracka
promoting accountable elections in Nigeria through youth participation in governance
The Brain Builders Youth Development Initiative (BBYDI) is implementing the YouthGovTracka project to promote accountability of elected officials in Nigeria and encourage youth participation in governance.
The project started in July 2023, with the goal to improve accountability of elected
officials by tracking campaign promises and performance on youth-inclusive policies.
A cornerstone achievement is the launch of the YouthGovTracka platform in November 2023.
