STRATEGIC POSITIONING
NDEBUMOG is a frontline civil society organization, working in budget advocacy, budget tracking, transparency, accountability, and public procurement monitoring. The organization also engages in anti-corruption campaigns in the Niger Delta and beyond. NDEBUMOG is among frontline civil society organizations, working in budget advocacy, budget tracking, transparency, accountability, and public procurement monitoring. The organization also engages in anti-corruption campaigns within the Niger Delta and beyond.
As at the year 2020, NDEBUMOG was the only civil society organization in the Niger Delta that has formally been engaged by the Federal Government to conduct procurement audit(s) in some Federal Government’s agencies. NDEBUMOG also conducted monitoring and evaluation assignments on (special) projects and programmes of the government, including, projects’ audits, impact assessments, situational analysis, gender sensitivity of envelopes, among others. These were on projects with crosscutting funding- baskets, particularly, on the tracking of Paris Club Debt Relief Gains to Nigeria. Proficiency and knowledge garnered by NDEBUMOG through these engagement(s) compels our advocacy for a total overhaul of Nigeria’s fiscal architecture and salvation for Nigeria’s public finance expenditure frameworks. Our affiliates shall continue to leverage on this experience to pursue socioeconomic rights and livelihoods for poverty reduction, particularly, for (marginalized) women.
