The PROMAD Infotech Foundation will host a virtual webinar during OGP Week 2026, themed Rebuilding Public Trust through Open Governance and Civic Participation to address declining trust in governance in Nigeria. Weak accountability systems, limited citizen engagement, and a lack of transparency drive this challenge. Leveraging the Open Government Partnership framework, the event aims to strengthen public trust by promoting transparency, accountability, and inclusive participation.
The webinar will feature two sessions: one examining the Transparency Index and its implications for democracy, and a fireside chat highlighting youth perspectives on civic participation and innovation. It will convene diverse stakeholders, including youth, civil society, government, media, and development partners, to foster dialogue and collaboration.

Through interactive discussions and knowledge sharing, the event seeks to enhance understanding of governance transparency, amplify youth voices, and promote civic-tech solutions. Outcomes will include increased awareness, stronger partnerships, and sustained engagement beyond the event.
