Hajiya Aisha Ahmed, Gender Social Inclusion Specialist for USAID STATE2STATE, remarked that objectives of OGP is, to build capacity of states steering and technical members on the OGP principles and operations.

In the aspect of Physical Transparency, the consensus was that, the state government should enhance more openess in citizen’s participation in budget foundation, approval, implementation up to auditing stages. Government should also ensure more transparency in it revenue and expenditure.

To ensure citizen’s engagement, budget information should be made available to the citizens for effective monitoring and tracking, while Extractive Transparency will foster citizen’s participation and cordial relationship between the citizens and the extractive sector/industry in the state.

Citizens need to know their rights and ensure that their human rights are guaranteed towards justice for all as pointers to, Access to Justice while, the need to effectively monitor the implementation of service and deliveries by the government particularly, on the part of NGOs and CSOs through, digital and non-digital delivery performance platforms, will be the yardstick for assessing service delivery.
