A civic group has launched an online application to track the delivery
of pre-election promises made by Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari.
The web-app [http://www.buharimeter.ng/],
announced on Monday, holds data on all promises made by both the ruling
All Progressives Congress, APC, and Mr. Buhari while campaigning for
the 2015 general elections.
It is part of the digital governance
revolution in Nigeria, helping the use of online tools to deepen the
country’s democracy and make government accountable and transparent, its
creators said.
The app was built by the Centre for Democracy and
Development with support from Open Society Foundation West Africa and a
leading budget data analytics, Budgit.
Buharimeter measures the
implementation of Mr. Buhari’s campaign promises and displays a visual
report. It documents promises made by the current government in
different sectors for easy tracking.
The performance of the government will be measured using three related methods.
First,
it will crowdsource Nigerians’ contributions to discussions, comments
on policy pronouncements of the government in achieving its set targets
and surveys.
